AB  - Some reproductive and productive traits of the One-humped Camel dromedary <I>(Camelus dromedariu</I>s) in Western Sudan were studied. The results of reproductive traits presented in this study indicated that Camel was conceived and calved through out the year and a high incidence was observed in wet-summer season. Age at first oestrus (months), oestrus cycle (days) oestrus duration (hours) was 39.24&plusmn;5.78, 12.29&plusmn;4.09 and 18.56&plusmn;8.01, respectively. Age at first calving (months), gestation length (days) and calving interval (month) was 52.41&plusmn;7.74, 370.28&plusmn;19.06 and 20.96&plusmn;3.51, respectively. Calves were weaned at 275.09&plusmn;24.18days; milk yield per day was 9.62&plusmn;3.09 liter during 2.85&plusmn;0.83 milking number per day. Similarly, lactation length was estimated 303.98&plusmn;6.03day and the peak of milk yield was attended at 9.09&plusmn;2.09 year of age. The number of calf per age was similar estimated 12.66&plusmn;2.39 calf. Wet-summer was observed a high mortality rate among the other seasons.
