Comparative evolution of some minerals, osteocalcin, 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)2D in the female camel and its newborn in South Morocco

Postpartum kinetics of plasma minerals (Ca, P, Mg, Na and K), osteocalcin, 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)2D were observed in the lactating camel (n = 5) and its newborn (n = 5) in South Morocco.
