Camel habitat — Pastoralists, Nomads, Small and Medium Scaled Family Farmers are the Custodian of Native genetic resources and Sustainable Farming Systems
Author: Dr Raziq Kakar
I’m Dr. Abdul Raziq Kakar, Ph.D. in Animal Agriculture, currently working as a Technical Manager at Al Ain Farms for Livestock Production, Camel Dairying (R&D), Alain, UAE. I have performed as a Professor and Dean, at the Faculty of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Lasbela University of Agriculture, Water and Marine Sciences Pakistan (LUAWMS).
My thematic area covers ‘turning camel from a beast of burden to a sustainable farm animal’, agricultural research policies, extensive livestock production systems, desert ecosystems, food security under climate change context, and sustainable use of traditional genetic resources for food and agriculture.
I'am advocating camel under the theme of CAMEL4LIFE and believe in camel potential. Camel4life is a camel think tank with a website and WhatsApp group, advocating camel at the policy level. I'm the founder of World Camel Day and the Camel Association of Pakistan. I also work as a freelance scientist covering the above-mentioned thematic areas. I'm also doing camel dairying consultancies.
I’m an ethnoecologist, ethnobotanist, Ethnovet, and ethnomedicine researcher and reviewer. I explore deserts and grazing lands for knowledge and understanding.
How to cook the camel milk?
The camel breed shaped to fulfill all the breeding goals
Tetraena qatarensis synonym Zygophyllum qatarense, a highly resilient perennial shrub of the desert
Tetraena qataransis is highly adapted to the challenging climatic conditions of the desert. The flora sustains in the desert ecosystem since unknown times and evolved in tune with the discourse of nature and climate change. Sometimes it is the only hope for food for the camels. It is full of medicinal characteristics and transfers the medicinal ingredients to the human and camel via milk.

The quality of milk comes from the genes, the food animals eat the types of vegetation, the wellbeing of animals, the status of animals, and the overall health of the animal.
The Biological Bullets in Camel Milk Shoot the Cancerous Cells
As we know the camel milk is widely appreciated as the natural pharmacy, all because of the biological ingredients found in the camel milk in a very unique combination. The camel milk contains lactoperoxidase which possesses anti-tumor activity. Inclusion of peptidoglycan recognition protein in the milk was firstly found in camel milk which can fight breast cancer by taking over metastasis.
CaM has Smaller Antibodies
The CaM antibodies are several times smaller than those produced by other animals including humans. Recently discovered ‘nanobodies,’ can enter tissues and cells that other antibodies cannot. They can even interfere with enzyme binding sites, contributing to camels’ remarkable disease resistance. Their size and ability make them potentially valuable in biomedical research (diagnosis) on a broad range of diseases including cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and atherosclerosis.

Fake Camel Milk, a Threat to our Health
Human’s greed is far to be satisfied with anything. Some people even do not hesitate to sell fake items and earn money, which is very painful and dangerous.
As the camel milk (CaM) is making its space in the important functional foods globally with the same pace the fake CaM is coming in the market.
One of the most important and prominent example is ‘SUSU UNTA CAMEL MILK‘, claiming importing from Malasia where the camels are only in the zoo. Tons of the fake CaM powder are imported in Pakistan and delivered with the name of pure camel milk.
Here is the link of the company selling fake CaM in Karachi, look at their claims. http://www.findglocal.com/PK/Karachi/531780563588892/Susunta-Camel-Milk
Look at their claims, very sad state of situation. I humbly request the authorities to please intervene in the situation and punish such fake greedy people to fool the people and play with their health.
Camel Milk Lover and Businessman Mike Eng from Malaysia
My friend Mike from Malaysia visited region given in the address but did not find anything over there. The address given lead to the petrol/gas station.
A place with the name of Kelantan in Malaysia is claimed as the production unit for the camel milk. Mr. Mike told that the location is such a big lie, there is no single camel. His wife is from the region where they claim of a camel farm. Also, being a tropical country Malasya cannot be a place to have a camel dairying facility. Mr. Mike told that “They claim to have a farm in Kelantan, Malaysia. In additional to the factory.Hey, my wife is from the same state….. nothing to say.”
This link http://appkel2.moh.gov.my/dirfsq/index.php/dirfsq/cari_syarikat tells the local state government approved for using the Mesti certification logo. Only susu kambing (goat). In the list #50 is the suspected farm/factory.
The company website in Pakistan claims that they produce 500 kg camel milk powder daily in Malasya which is another big joke. To make this amount of powder a fresh milk more than 5000 liter is required which can be acheived from more than 500 camels.
A HUMBLE APPEAL FROM AUTHORITES IN PAKISTAN
Please help me in spreading this information and send and share with the authorities in Pakistan to take timely action and stop this wrong and unhealthy exercies. The culprit/s must face legal process and proper punishment.
Youtube Channel on camel milk
I have initiated a youtube channel about the properties of the camel milk, especially with the regard of the natural health. It is in English, Urdu and sometimes in Pashtu. https://youtu.be/oxpE-HIf-OA
Exposing the Fake CaM
I would write and talk about the fake CaM as there are some other outlets too. Please help me in getting the information and details about such fake CaM.
Explore the Novel Antimicrobial Molecule ‘LACTOFERRIN’ in Camel Milk
Lactoferrin can reduce bacterial growth, inhibit bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation; thus, it might be considered an antimicrobial therapeutic agent. Regarding the increasing resistance to antibiotics, it is necessary to explore novel antimicrobial drugs for bacterial diseases. http://camel4all.info/index.php/2014/12/12/super-food-camel-milk-can-beat-the-challenge-of-super-bug-bacterial-resistance-to-antibiotics/
The lactoferrin of mammalian species have been proved to inhibit the growth of some pathogenic strains in human and/or animal such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Shigella dysenteriae, Listeria monocytogenes, Streptococcus spp., Vibrio cholerae, Legionella pneumophila, Klebsiella pneumophila, Enterococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp., Bacillus stearothermophilus and Bacillus subtilis.
