Table 1.

Effect of management systems (ConExF vs. H23) on behavioral states recorded during 60 min of observation period in dromedary camels (n = 6): housed in a single box for 23 h with 1 h in a paddock (H23), and exposed for 17 h to females (ConExF). Data are expressed as LSM ± SE. Means followed by different letters differ significantly: A,BP<0.01; a,bP<0.05
