Understanding the rumen microbiota of camels under different feeding conditions is necessary to optimize rumen fermentation and productivity. This study aims to investigate the effects of different concentrate supplement levels on digestion, rumen fermentation and bacteria in growing camels. Fifteen growing camels were divided into three groups and were fed alfalfa hay in addition to one of the three concentrate supplement levels based on body weight (BW): low (0.7%), medium (1%), and high (1.3%). Increasing the concentrate supplement level in the diet increased total dry matter intake but had no effect on nutrients digestibility, except for crude protein digestibility, which was enhanced with the high concentrate level. Growing camels at low-level had considerably higher rumen pH than those fed medium or high levels. Increasing the supplement level also increased rumen propionic acid but decreased acetic acid concentration. Principal coordinate analysis showed that concentrate levels clearly separated the ruminal bacterial communities where Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes were the dominant phyla and Prevotella, Ruminococcus, Butyrivibrio, RC9_gut_group, and Fibrobacteres were the dominant bacterial genera. This study expands our knowledge regarding the rumen microbiota of growing camels under different concentrate levels and reveals that medium concentrate levels could be appropriate for growing camels.
