Camels as productive animals are considered one of the primary fundamental constituents of animal population. Healthiness of this part of animal populations required healthy respiratory, urinary, skin, reproductive and musculoskeletal systems with especial attention to digestive system because camel to be productive animal needs healthy alimentary tract. The prevention of the diseases rather than treatment becomes the main aim in the veterinary medicine. Therefore, general clinical examination (temperature, pulse, respiration, mucous membranes and lymphnodes), ruminal and blood constituents were found to be the most important diagnostic and prognostic measures for health and disease conditions.
