Abstract
Keskin, M., Güler, Z., Gül, S. and Biçer, O. 2007. Changes in gross chemical compositions of ewe and goat colostrum during ten days postpartum. J. Appl. Anim. Res., 32: 25–28. This study was carried out to determine the exact ‘Colostrum producing period’ in Awassi ewes and Shami (Damascus) goats in Hatay province of Turkiye based on changes in gross composition of milk during 10 days post partum. Goats produced high crude protein and fat milk for 3–5 days post partum. Whereas, in ewes it was 3 days. Ewe's colostrum was richer in respect to total solids (TS), crude protein (CP), fat, lactose and ash as compared to goat's colostrum. It is recommended that first three days milk (colostrum) must be fed to kids/lambs for maximum benefits.
