Abstract

Milk constituents of different species viz. dromedary camel (n=35), goat (n=32), sheep (n=31) and buffalo (n=17) were evaluated. Camel milk samples were collected from National Research Centre on Camel, Bikaner and goat, sheep and buffalo milk samples were collected from the surrounding villages of Bikaner. Milk samples were analyzed for fat, protein, lactose, ash and pH. It was observed that buffalo milk had highest fat (8.36%) and protein (3.56%) concentration whereas sheep milk had highest lactose (4.34%) and ash (0.87%) content. The pH (6.96) values of camel milk were the lowest in comparison to other species.
