In this epoch, the tremendous increase in the world population accounts for the continuous supply of
foodstuff. According to the FAO report, the global population is probable to cross the 9 billion in 2050.
With constant population pressure, we are going to face the challenges of food shortage globally about
agriculture. The animal production field provides a major share in the supply of foodstuff to compensate
for the stress of food scarcity. By adopting the advanced technologies in the animal production field, its
productivity can enhance significantly. Innovation in technology has made work easier with the
development of different software and the internet. Technologic development made farmers work more
contentedly hence, ultimately amplifying the animal production, proficiency, profitability as well as
providing a prompt way for livestock sustainability. The animal production consists mainly of 8 factors
including 3 major (animal breeding and genetics, animal nutrition, and reproductive performances) and 5
minor (health observation, farm management, water, manure, machinery, environment control, milking
automation and electronic identification). The use of advanced technologiesin these sectorsisfound to be
fluent by intensifying the ratio of sustainable livestock farming and the welfare of mankind in terms of
food security. In this review, innovative tactics and techniques for animal production are potted with
positive research results and their drawbacks as well. The use ofinnovative technologiesin theirrespective
fields is close to taking control of whole world manufacturing under its hand to accomplish the world
prerequisite regarding food scarcity

Globally, 16.9% of milk used by humans is taken from different species other than a cow. These
species are sheep, horse, yak, ass, goat, camel and buffalo. The global camel (Camelus dromedarius)
population is about 34 million head with sharing of almost 0.4% of world’s non-cattle milk. Within
the last 20 years, the curiosity of camel farming is amassed remarkably in different countries of the
world including the Netherland, Italy and USA for camel milk production. The camel is considered
as a goal animal of the 21st century because it produces high quality milk under extreme temperature,
deficiency of pasture and dearth of water. The average milk production of camel fluctuates from 4
to 30 lt with lactation length ranges from 9 to18 months having peak yield in second to the third
month of lactation. Camel’s milk is used globally because of its salty taste, high vitamin C
concentration and its medicinal properties. Nevertheless, it gives many valuable benefits such as
treatment of autism, control diabetes and allergy, prevention from liver cirrhosis and replacer of cow
milk to avoid an infant’s allergic reaction. The camel milk is a natural treatment of diabetes as it has
a substantial result in a decrease of mean blood glucose and conserves necessary insulin doses.
Camel milk constitutes of protein (2.5-4.5%), fat (2.9-5.5%), solid not fat (8.9 -14.3%), ash (0.35-
0.95%), lactose (2.9-5.8%) and water (86.3-88.5%) as mean specific gravity is 1.03. Due to its
distinct properties, the consumption of camel milk is increasing day by day and a number of
industries are working to promote camel milk production and processing. Therefore, the tenacity of
this review article is to explicate the beneficial uses and production of camel milk over the globe.
