132 blood samples and 54 milk samples obtained from Somali camel were analysed for red blood cell antigens with the cattle reagents and for Hb, Ca, X proteins, Tf, Alb, Am, SOD, alpha-La, beta-Lg and casein systems respectively. Positive lytic reactions were obtained with the anti-B, -Q, -Q', -W, -F1 and -J reagents. No biochemical polymorphism was observed except for Hb, X protein and beta-Lg systems.
