According to Tu, his farm is raising five Alpaca camels that originated from South America. The two camels in Cao Bang are of the Bactrian breed, making them easy to raise, he claimed.
The two camels in Cao Bang seem to suffer from malnutrition, Tu said, adding that he wanted to take them to his farm so they could be cared for.
Tu’s farm has a separate area for camels which are monitored by veterinarians.
Cao Xuan Binh, a veterinarian from Pleiku City, said that the northern region is now in the winter, therefore, it is important to keep the camels warm and conduct regular deworming and blood parasite checks every six months.
Dam Van Thang, chairman of Xuan Truong Commune, said the purchase of the two camels would be decided by Bao Lac District authorities.
