Abstract
Serum levels of vitamins K,, A and E were determined in 22 camels (Camelus dromedarius). Samples from cows, sheep, goats and sand gazelles (Gazella subgutturosa marica) in the same area were included for comparison. Concentration of vitamin K, in adult camels (0.923 +/- 0.234 nmol/l) was significantly higher than in <1-year old camels (0.409 +/- 0.0.063 nmol/l). Vitamin K, concentration in adult camels was also significantly higher than that recorded in bovines, sheep and goats. Vitamin A and vitamin E levels were comparable in adult and young camels.
