The reproductive efficiency of camels is low under natural pastural conditions and so the use of artifical insemination and embryo transfer are becoming increasingly important to improve their breeding potential. Methods to control their reproductive cycle are therefore essential. This review describes characteristics of the ovarian follicular wave pattern in camels and exogenous hormonal control of ovulation. It also summarizes the difficulties involved with artifical insemination and analyzing the highly gelatinous semen, and reports on the latest methods used to try and reduce the viscosity and liquefy camel semen. In addition an account is given of different hormonal and physical methods used to synchronise follicular waves, and various hormone treatments used to broaden the availability of ovulated, asynchronous and non-ovulated recipients are discussed.
在自然放牧条件下，骆驼的繁殖效率较低，因此，人工授精和胚胎移植对于提高其繁殖潜力变得越来越重要。因此，控制其生殖周期的方法至关重要。本综述描述了骆驼卵巢卵泡波型的特征以及排卵的外源激素控制。它还总结了人工授精和分析高度胶冻状精液所涉及的困难，并报告了用于尝试降低骆驼精液粘度并使其液化的最新方法。此外，还介绍了用于同步卵泡波的不同激素和物理方法，并讨论了用于扩大排卵、不同步和未排卵受体可用性的各种激素处理方法。
