Aspect of camel. distribution, adaptations and utilisation. m Nigeria have been reviewed and a suggestion made for a scientific and profitable camel production to ease the deficiency of animal protein in the Nigerian diet. This is necessitated because the encro achment of the desert into the Northern part of the country strongly calls for the reassessment of the potential contribution of camel production as source of meat and milk to provide not only essential protein source in the Nigerian diet, but also saving on the scarce foreign exchange.
