With the development of camel meat production there has been development of an industry utilising the by products of the abattoir. In addition research into camel wool has commenced as more camels are being handled and camel wool collection increases.

Camel Oil
Lower in cholesterol than other animal cooking fats, camel oil is also suitable for manufacture of soaps and cosmetics. Camel oil based products have unique properties with baby dermatology creams being one specialist product. The uses and quality of camel oil goods is evolving with research and development.

Camel Leather
The commercial tanning of camel leather was pioneered in Australia. It is a very versatile leather which has two unique properties. These are its exceptional tensile strength and the attractive grain pattern on the tanned product. These features ensure its demand for the manufacture of a wide range of products such as; shoe and boot uppers, upholstery, fashion accessories, brief cases, garments, harness and sporting goods.

Camel Wool
Technology for improving production of this fine fibre is currently being researched in Australia. As more is learnt about one of the world's rarest fibres commercial interests are seeking to purchase the wool for use in the world's high fashion industry. Camel wool has unique characteristics of conductivity, softness and strength.
