Description of the research topic:
In order to address the impacts of climate change and ensure the sustainability of livestock production, agribusiness and livestock operators need to work together and continuously monitor environmental changes to adapt to new challenges in a timely manner. In recent decades, intensive camel farming has become recognised as an important sector of agriculture and livestock production, especially in regions where camels are the basic animal for food, meat and transport. The long history of camel farming has developed traditional husbandry and care methods adapted to the climatic conditions and resources of the region. However, to address climate challenges and economic sustainability, intensive camel farming is also becoming important in the continental climate zone. Climate change, including the spread of climatic extremes, water scarcity and vegetation change, poses a number of challenges for camel farming in the continental climate zone.
Thus, the aim of present PhD thesis is to assess, in our changing climatic and market world, how open the industry, society and market is to the introduction of dromedary as a new species, to carry out careful planning and research on the subject, taking into account ecological and ethical aspects, to assess through laboratory and genomic studies which potential camel breeds are the most adaptable to the market, the needs of the domestic market and the potential of the future market.
