Abstract
In present investigation nutritional profile of 100 camel milk consumers and 100 non camel milk consumers in the same age group (30-50yr.) residing in
similar rural area of Bikaner District of Rajasthan, India was assessed. All the subjects surveyed were interviewed on the basis of purposive sampling to find out
their nutritional status. Consumption of camel milk was found to be highest (100 percent) by the adults and elderly. All the subjects were consuming camel milk
due to its easy availability, therapeutic values and traditional household practice. Both the groups were assessed for Clinical, Dietary intake and Anthropometric
measurement. Significant gender difference was observed in camel milk intake in both the groups.
