Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the energy and protein requirements for growth of growing (1-2 years) camel using serial comparative slaughter technique. In this study 12 heads of camels were used. Three heads as control and 9 heads were used in three consecutive periods (each group included three replications). During the final week of experiments, camels were subjected to digestion and metabolic experiments. All animals were slaughtered at the end of the experiment and whole body energy and protein were measured. By using regression analysis the metabolisable energy requirements for one gram gain was estimated 50.6 KJ/gr gain. The digestible protein requirements for one-gram gain was estimated 0.431 gram digestible protein/gr gain). The metabolisable energy efficiency for growth (kf) was estimated 0.52. Due to results it seems that kf with similar metabolisable energy and higher roughage ratio is lower than mixture of sillage and concentrate rations.
