Abstract
The textbook Reproduction of camelids represents the first texbook in the Croatian language which in one place encompasses the facts related to the specifics of anatomy genitals and mammary glands, physiology and pathologies of pregnancy, parturition, puerperium and other specifics of reproduction in cameids. In the introductory part the camellia species that inhabit are described in the desert regions of the world as well as South American camelids living on the plateaus Anda. The following is a detailed description and anatomy female and male sexual organs and anatomy of the mammary gland. In the chapter physiology of reproduction topics are covered sexual and reproductive maturity, seasonality, neurohormonal regulation of the sexual cycle and mating behavior. In the sixth chapter breeding biotechnology is described (artificial insemination, multiple ovulation and embryo transfer, production embryos and cloning). They follow chapters on the physiology and pathology of pregnancy, parturition and puerperium and the latter chapter thirteen on the pathology of reproduction which includes innate (structural sexual abnormalities and anomalies organs) and acquired infertility. Textbook is an original work, and by relevance to treated topics in the Croatian language there is no similar work. Therefore they are are so far students of veterinary medicine as well as all interested in this unjust neglected area mostly could only serve as separatists of professional and scientific articles. I want to point out that this textbook brings together in one place all relevant facts related to camellia breeding.
The textbook contains 114 pages with about 30 original photos, pictures, drawings, diagrams, charts and histogram and about 10 tables. Processed the matter is substantiated by over 270 citations from domestic and world literature,
reinforced by the experience and knowledge of the authors. In my opinion this textbook will excite occupation in veterinary medicine students and doctors of veterinary medicine that perform their activity in dispensaries for the large and exotic animals, zoos and scientific institutions as well as related ones professions (agronomists and biologists) and in all those who crave new knowledge about to these beautiful, exotic animals, but also increasingly present in our country.
