This chapter thoroughly investigates the multifaceted world of dromedaries in Africa, employing a structured approach. Initially, Sect. 9.1 delves into the origins and evolution of dromedaries on the continent, including the domestication process and their historical roots in Africa. Subsequent sections meticulously dissect the presence of dromedaries across various African countries, delineating their physiognomy, classification and unique characteristics, exemplified by detailed examination of populations in Algeria, Mali, Egypt, Niger, Nigeria, Mauritania, Chad, Kenya, Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Sudan, Libya, Tunisia, Morocco and other countries. Section 9.2 shifts focus to the organisational structures within the dromedary sector, exploring infrastructure, support systems and regulatory frameworks, while Sect. 9.3 scrutinises the structure and systems of dromedary husbandry, encompassing geographical distribution, breeding systems and production methodologies. Section 9.4 further elaborates on dromedary production objectives, covering primary production objectives, pharmacopoeia aspects, sociocultural roles and modern uses, including racing, trekking and other activities. Environmental implications, reproduction, prevalent diseases and biodiversity conservation efforts are comprehensively addressed in Sects. 9.5, 9.6, 9.7, and 9.8, paralleling discussions on dromedary diseases and biodiversity conservation programmes. Finally, Sect. 9.9 offers a concluding perspective, advocating for conservation measures and highlighting future directions for the sustainable management of dromedary populations in Africa.

摘要

This chapter thoroughly investigates the multifaceted world of dromedaries in Africa, employing a structured approach. Initially, Sect. 9.1 delves into the origins and evolution of dromedaries on the continent, including the domestication process and their historical roots in Africa. Subsequent sections meticulously dissect the presence of dromedaries across various African countries, delineating their physiognomy, classification and unique characteristics, exemplified by detailed examination of populations in Algeria, Mali, Egypt, Niger, Nigeria, Mauritania, Chad, Kenya, Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Sudan, Libya, Tunisia, Morocco and other countries. Section 9.2 shifts focus to the organisational structures within the dromedary sector, exploring infrastructure, support systems and regulatory frameworks, while Sect. 9.3 scrutinises the structure and systems of dromedary husbandry, encompassing geographical distribution, breeding systems and production methodologies. Section 9.4 further elaborates on dromedary production objectives, covering primary production objectives, pharmacopoeia aspects, sociocultural roles and modern uses, including racing, trekking and other activities. Environmental implications, reproduction, prevalent diseases and biodiversity conservation efforts are comprehensively addressed in Sects. 9.5, 9.6, 9.7, and 9.8, paralleling discussions on dromedary diseases and biodiversity conservation programmes. Finally, Sect. 9.9 offers a concluding perspective, advocating for conservation measures and highlighting future directions for the sustainable management of dromedary populations in Africa.
