Scope

This document prescribes methods and procedures that should be used for flaying of camel hide in a slaughter house.

Purpose

Camels are domesticated livestock that are usually kept for milk and meat, but in recent times camel hide has gained popularity as a type of hide that can be used to make various leather products including footwear and belts. Camels can be one or two-humped species. One-humped camels make approximate 94% of the world population of camels. In addition to food, camels provide excellent hide. Camel is a huge animal and there is no clear instruction on how to flay its skin. Several different practices are followed, which is a problem in trade.
