Email this article Influence of Some Factors on Composition of Dromedary Camel Milk in Sudan
Abstract
The present study was carried out to investigate the impact of management systems, breeds, parity and stage of lactation on milk composition of Sudanese Arabi camels. Samples of camel milk were collected from 120 healthy she-camels from three different indigenous breeds (Kenani, Nefidia and Butana) in two different management systems (traditional nomadic system and semi intensive system). The milk samples were from camel of 5 parity numbers (1-5 parities) and 4 lactation stages. The highest significant percentages of camel milk fat, protein, lactose, total solids (TS) and solids non fat (SNF) were recorded for the camel in the traditional nomadic system (Nefidia and Butana) followed by the semi intensive system (Kenana breed). Moreover, the mean protein, lactose, TS and SNF values of camel milk were significantly higher during the first stage of lactation, while the mean for fat was significantly high during the third stage of lactation. Fat, protein, lactose, TS and SNF values of camel milk were higher in the fifth parity. Camel reared in the traditional nomadic system (Nefidia and Butana breed) and semi intensive system (Kenana breed) had significantly high content of milk fat compared to their counterparts. However, non significant differences in fat percentage during the fourth parity were observed. The TS and SNF of camel milk were significantly high at the first stage of lactation in comparison with the second and fourth ones. The results indicated that variations in chemical composition of camel milk were mainly attributed to factors such as management systems, breed, parity number and stage of lactation.
