Camelids Encyclopedia

By isocard

Proposal for Publishing Camelids Encyclopedia for ISOCARD. It is a huge project if succeeded will be a complete source of information on Camelids. This will strengthen the position and credibility of ISOCARD as the best reliable source of information on Camelids. If each member is willing to help and provide me with information and images related to his or her field and specialization I am positive that the project will be successful and useful to many people involved or interested in Camelids. Some of the suggested main topics that will be covered as a start are Classification, Population, History, Breeding, Diseases, Management, Nutrition, Production and Reproduction. If anyone would like to suggest other topics or have different idea, I would like to hear from you.

    Dear Prof. Ghaleb,
    I wish to congratulate you and your team for an idea of launching Camelids encyclopedia. I am quite hopeful that this project will definitely be a successful venture as camel scientists need to know more and that too at faster rate which is possible through a web information only. This project will also bring the camel scientist more closer in solving each others’ problems.
    I suggest a topic namely ‘Miscellaneous about camelids’. This can include lesser known informations about the camelids which may be of interest to scientists and general public as well.
    I will be happy to contribute informations for the encyclopedia.

    Dear Prof. Ghaleb,
    I am hapy to have learned of your effort to come up with an encyclopedia on Camelid. I wish to suggest that a chapter be included on non-food utilisation of the camels. I am ready to contribute on the use of dromedary for farm power in semi-arid Nigeria.
