Abstract
Effect of Stages of Lactation on Goat Milk Composition under Field and Farm Rearing Condition
Highlights
Major population of India is primarily depends on agricultural based system for their daily life including goat keeping that constitute an important rural business of small marginal farmers and landless labours
Milk samples were collected from breed Jamunapari and Jakhrana under the farm and field rearing conditions
Specific gravity was significantly higher specific gravity was in the Jakhrana goat than Jamunapari goat milk under field and farm conditions in all stage of lactation
Summary
Major population of India is primarily depends on agricultural based system for their daily life including goat keeping that constitute an important rural business of small marginal farmers and landless labours. World’s total numbers of goats and sheep are 861.9 and 1078.2 million heads, respectively. Despite the least attention from the planners, goat population increased by 146% of the total goat population present in the year 1990 (590.1 million) (FAOSTAT, 2008). Constituting about 45% of the total goat population in the world. Dairy goat, is an integral part of socioeconomic system, is considered as a cow of poor. Dairy goats produce about 15.2 million metric tons (MT) of milk, accounting for 2% of the world’s milk produced by all the livestock species (FAOSTAT, 2008)
