Efficient development of a camel milk sector and nutraceutical component

Higher School of Saharan Agriculture of ElOued is a new Algerian HEE that has as mission to development and modernization of agriculture in the Algerian Sahara. Our school is committed to providing students with an educational environment that combines visionary thinking and cutting-edge technology to achieve sustainable development in the agricultural sector. The objectives of our school include the continuous improvement of educational programs to align with the national and international job market, thus ensuring the competitiveness of our students. In addition, the school aims for ongoing development to enhance the efficiency of both administrative and academic aspects, adhering to global quality standards.
In the realm of research, it aims to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of scientific research in the agricultural sector, to meet to challenges faced by farmers and to keep abreast of modern developments in order to raise production levels and the quality of agricultural products.

The research and innovation project aims to optimize the camel milk value chain by reducing losses and waste at each stage of the process. The focus is on improving hygienic quality from production, with specific awareness initiatives targeting milking stakeholders. Simultaneously, extending the shelf life of dairy products is considered through transformation processes and conservation using renewable energy. We explore solutions to optimize distribution networks, including biodegradable packaging and innovative methods for dairy effluent treatment. A thorough assessment of health impacts and nutraceutical properties of processed dairy products, especially those undergoing fermentation, is a crucial component of the project. We aim to fully understand how these products can positively influence consumers' microbiome, emphasizing our commitment to overall health and well-being. Ultimately, the goal is to promote the emergence of a sustainable camel milk sector involving all stakeholders from production to consumption. Partnerships are sought to develop this approach holistically.

• Hygienic quality
• Collection & Distribution
• Cold chain
• Renewable energy
• Biodegradable packaging
• Effluent treatment
• Health impact assessment
• Nutraceutical properties

We are looking to be part of a consortium that can take care of our problem. Our graduate school is new, but its staff has quite a lot of scientific capital
