Artificial Insemination in Racing Camels hits its stride
Artificial insemination has made a world of difference for camel racing. Dromedary camels, those with one hump, are the type used in racing and the females are preferred for the sport. Assisted reproduction options that don’t interfere with the racing careers of these prized athletes are being utilized with increasingly regularity. Assisted reproductive technologies also help to address basic challenges of camel breeding (among others these include: injury to animals during breeding, disease transmission between mating pairs, false signaling of successful mating, fertility issues such as cysts - common but treatable).
