Camel is one of the most important livestock kept by few pastoralists of North–West, Nigeria. In order to come up with a report that will guide intending research fellows in the areas of feeding, water economy and management aspect, a survey was conduct in order to identify the immediate challenges of keeping camels in the study area. This involved the use of 241 randomly selected camel herders in four States (Jigawa, Katsina, Zamfara and Sokoto) of North–West, Nigeria.
