New video on our channel: Myths and Truths about Camels. What's in a Camel's Humps? Camel Breeds, Hybrids, Types, and Species.

Camel breeding in Kazakhstan: MILK , MEAT , wool, hybrids, science, and traditions. The experience of the eminent Kazakhstani scientist Dastanbek Asylbekovich Baimukanov on camels and their role in steppe culture.

In this video, we reveal all about camels and camel breeding in Kazakhstan. Dastanbek Asylbekovich shares his practical experience and scientific knowledge accumulated over decades of working with these unique animals.

You'll learn about camel breeds, the differences between single-humped and two-humped camels, their climate tolerance, and the specifics of pasture management. We'll also explore steppe feeding in detail, whether it makes sense to fatten camels, and discuss fat accumulation in the humps, water reserves in the stomach sacs, and the phenomenal endurance of camels.

A separate section is devoted to milk and its properties: the fat content of one-humped camels (dromedaries) is approximately 3.5%, while that of Kazakh Bactrian camels (two-humped camels) is 5% or higher, and in some breeds it reaches 5.6–5.8%. Processed milk products, from shubat to cheesemaking, are discussed. Issues of meat, leather, and wool are touched upon, as well as the traditions of their use in the home and everyday life.

Much attention is paid to animal behavior: their caution, memory, reactions to people, and physiological characteristics. You'll see that a camel's foam often indicates anxiety rather than aggression, and you'll learn about the role of the "sac" in males during sexual arousal.

An important part of the video is devoted to hybridization. The generations are analyzed in detail: the first generation consists of nar (males) and narmaia (females), and the second generation consists of kospak 1 with a modified hump shape. We'll explore the purpose of hybrids and what can be done to prevent hybridization from leading to degeneration.

This video will be of interest to farmers, agricultural students, scientists, and anyone interested in the traditions and modern methods of camel breeding in Kazakhstan.
