Dr Margie Bale is Australia’s only dedicated camel veterinarian.

With nearly 30 years’ experience as a clinical veterinarian, Margie now specialises in camelid medicine and is renowned as a world expert on camel health. She is recognised as the leading authority on camel veterinary medicine in Australia and is part of an international professional network of camel veterinarians and camel milk/meat scientists worldwide.

During 15 years as a large animal clinician at The University of Queensland’s Dayboro Clinic, she practiced in all aspects of herd health, reproduction and surgery of production animals.

Margie has worked in Dubai in a camel embryo transfer and reproduction clinic presenting at conferences worldwide and championing this emerging industry. Through an Agrifutures program she has validated a Blood Pregnancy test for camels that was an adaptation needed for the unique Australian Camel Industry. She has also teamed with Plasvacc to develop an Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) accredited frozen Camel Plasma product.
