Camels are the most efficient eaters in the world and run well with cattle. They will help cattle grow better by transfer of gut bacteria in saliva in the water troughs. A proven scientific fact.

A study has found cattle have a greater chance of performing well on poorer grasses if they are co-grazed with camels.
University of Queensland scientists found micro-organisms, which allow camels to break down lower quality grasses, can be transferred into cattle when the animals eat or drink from the same trough.
Dr Rafat Al Jassim, from the Department of Agricultural and Food Sciences, says the research found the micro-organisms improve the digestive system of cattle.
"We take samples from the gut and there are clear differences between cattle grazed with camels, compared to camels grazed alone.
"There are some shifts in the bacterial groups, which improve the ability of cattle to cope with different types of feeds.
“The type of plants that the camel eats are usually rich in anti-nutritional compounds, so the camel must have a mechanism to cope with these anti-nutritional factors,” he said.
“The breakdown of these compounds is carried out by micro-organisms that could be transferred from camels to cattle.
"We took samples from the gut and found that there are clear differences between cattle grazed with camels, compared to camels grazed alone. There are some shifts in the bacterial groups.
“Interestingly, we found that cattle that are co-grazed with camels have a better ability to digest low quality tropical grasses like Mitchell Grass.
“This improvement in the digestion can only be explained by a transfer in micro-organisms.”
The study is based on three years of work by Malaysian PhD student Iswan Baudy at a study site in Richmond in Queensland.
Dr Rafat says further research is needed to identify exactly which specific micro-organisms are transferred. Only then can the possibility of a dietary supplement be considered.
“If we can prove it, then we could probably take the same approach as leucaena toxicity,” he said
“But we need to do more detailed analysis on which specific micro-organisms are transferred and what impact the transfer will have on the digestion of feed. Then we can take another approach.”
The study is due to be published later this year.
Camels are browsers and are the ultimate at weed control and will help eliminate weeds.
All fence trained and easy care.
