\textbf{Abstract}
\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
This study  aimed at to report out the seasonal and regional variations of the chemical and  nutritional composition of some important browse and forage species utilised by camels in  arid and semi"=arid lands(ASAL) of the Sudan to quantify some of the nutritional problems limiting camels production and productivity with the aim of identifying potential interventions to alleviate some of these constraints and to provide objective basis for efficient and low cost nutrients supplementation, this could be achieved through study of the chemical composition of browse trees, pasture grasses, grass hay and common crop residues available in camel production area of the Sudan during dry and wet seasons of the year to establish a data base on camel feed nutrient profile.  



Twenty"=four browse plants samples of predominantly trees and shrubs and 24 forage types of crop residue, grasses and forbs were collected from western Sudan in dry and wet seasons. On the other hand 26 browse plants samples of predominantly trees and shrubs and 27 samples of crop residues, grasses and forbs were collected from eastern Sudan in the same seasons. The samples were subjected to air drying, prepared to proximate analysis. A multistage sampling procedure was used for the primary sampling  units (regional locations) and secondary units (nomadic camps) were used. Nomad representative were interviewed in the wet season and again re"=interviewed during the dry season. Results showed that, the CP, EE and Ash of the browses and forages were significantly ($p < 0.05$) higher in the western region than in the eastern region of Sudan.   The same increase is true for CP, EE and Ash in the wet season than the dry season. During dry season of the year, the CP was found to be \mbox{7\,\%} or less, Ash was \mbox{10\,\%} for both regions, while during the wet season, all browses contain above \mbox{7\,\%} CP, over \mbox{30\,\%} CF and over \mbox{10\,\%} Ash.
