Étude de la filière du lait de chamelle dans la région d'El-oued

Abstract

The current study proved the main objective of the diagnosis related to the camel milk Section in the El-Oued area through the following sectors: production, collect, marketing and consume the study covered 20 breeders distributors on five regions: Douar Elma,Benguecha,Reguiba, Robbah, Sidiaoune. Field investigations revealed that 70% of the breeders have a herd of; more than 50 heads while 45% of the breeders own from 20 to 50 product camels despite this large number of produced camels, but most of the breeds do not sell their milk product, but rather us directed to self-consumption and this is due to the prevailing culture in society, especially the of the springs. Through our observation that 70% breeders produce per day less than 03 litres collected per day from one arena in 75 %of the cases. Camel breeding is bated; mainly on the large semi- intensive system in a lesser way, and we rarely find the intensive system, the industrial conversion of camel lip does not exist, while it is marketed through the narrow circle, and its price has been estimated at less than 500DA chicken per litre in 80% of cases and it is preferable to consume it fresh for its healing and health properties. In addition, the weakest link is the process of collection, health monitoring and transfer; this is the weakening of camel milk combination in the El-oued area, despite the great human and animal potential and the vastness of the pastoral space and its awareness. Therefore, camel breeders should organize themselves under the name of cooperative and associations to advance the sector in addition to the states support to value this important sector socially and economically
