Abstract

The article presents the results of a study on the live body weight and body measurements of the double-humped Kazakh Bactrian camel at the ages of 1, 6, 18, and 42 months, raised under the conditions of the “Kaskabulak” breeding farm in the Abai district of the Abai region. A comprehensive analysis of live weight and biometric indicators of camel offspring was conducted according to age. Index indicators characterizing the level of skeletal development, chest formation, and the proportionality and harmony of body con formation were determined. The double-humped Kazakh Bactrian camel raised in East Kazakhstan is characterized by early maturity, stable live weight gain, a strong constitution, and compliance with the requirements of modern camel husbandry. The data obtained prove the high adaptability of the Kazakh Bactrian to pastoral conditions and its genetic potential; thus, its cultivation is recommended for the natural and climatic zones of the Eastern region of Kazakhstan. A comparison of body measurements from one month to 42 months of age revealed that from one to six months, the height at the withers increased by 40.3 cm, diagonal body length by 34.4 cm, heart girth by 66.1 cm, and cannon bone circumference by 1.5 cm. Between six and 18 months, these measurements increased by 15.6, 11.0, 23.7, and 1.6 cm, respectively. From 18 to 42 months, they grew by 14.6, 18.8, 32.7, and 0.9 cm, respectively. The average daily weight gain of the calves in this farm was 1350.0 g in the first month and 685.3 g at six months, while it significantly decreased at 18 and 42 months to 337.8 g and 289.9 g, respectively. The recorded live weight indicators and primary zootechnical body measurements fully comply with the standards for the Kazakh Bactrian camel breed.
