We've been working at and hoping over the years that this will become more of a commercial operation for everyone involved and once it becomes a commercial operation it becomes sustainable, then there's no more problem with camel."Long-term it's better for the country if camel are either cleaned out 100 per cent, or they're commercial and have value."It has become a win-win situation for Prenti Downs and Albany-based Paul's Pet Foods, with the growing demand for camel meat to manage allergies in pets also contributing to reducing feral camel numbers.Paul's Pet Foods's Ethan Sylvester said his visit to Prenti Downs was his "most successful" camel cull yet, yielding 77 animals.His production has increased by 20 per cent each year since 2022, when Mr Sylvester first took his mobile slaughter plant on the 3,000-kilometre return journey, to now culling up to 250 camels per year."Kangaroo is still top of the list, but camel has pretty much overtaken beef For a novel diet in pets, we'll often recommend camel," she said.A novel diet is a meat or protein source that has never been eaten by that dog before, used by veterinarians as a diagnostic tool to pinpoint what a dog's immune system is reacting to."Once they've finished that diet for six weeks, we can reintroduce one thing into their diet at a time so we can figure out what flares their skin up," Dr Rogers said."I'm finding really good feedback from these clients with dogs on the camel diet."If we're helping solve a feral camel problem and making use of that meat, I think it's fantastic."
