Abstract
Fifty four head samples of slaughtered one-humped camel (Camelus dromedarius) from Maiduguri Abattoir were used for the study. Out of this number, 33 (61.12%) were found to have one or more lesions, while 20 (38.88%) had no lesion. Broken tooth was found to have the highest prevalence of 20.75%, while caries was found to have the lowest prevalence of 1.89%. Among the 33 heads with lesions, 13 (24.53%) were females and 20 (37.74%) were males. Two (3.77%) were between the ages of 1 and 3 years, 11 (20.75%) were between the ages of 4 and 6 years and 20 (37.74%) were 7 years and above. Sexual dimorphism and age difference were observed in the study, where broken tooth and dental calculi were seen more in females than in males and more in older camel than in younger ones.
