摘要
Serum iron concentration and iron binding capacity were determined in 47 healthy adult camels and 20 camel calves of either sex. The total iron binding capacity was similar in male and female camels; however, a significant sex effect was observed in serum iron, unbound iron binding capacity and saturation concentration percentage. Age effect was significant for total nd unbound iron binding capacities and the highest values were recorded in adult male camels.
