Abstract | ||
Samples of goat 's milk were collected from Sakha Animal Production Research Station from three breeds : 1 Baladi (91 samples ) 2 Damascus (110 samples) and 3 Alpine ( 121 samples ). Mean values for the three samples of milk were: Acidity 0.157 , 0. 133 % 0. 147 and fat content 3. 55 , 2. 764 and 3.315 , protein 2.92, 2.43 and 2.64, respectively % and total solids were 12. 27, 10. 49 % and 11.18 . Variations in milk constituents during lactatin period were the fat and protein which were the highest in milk from Baldi, particularly at the beginning of lactation while Alpine goat's milk contained the least nutrients and lasted, for a short lactaion period (22 weeks). Statistical analysis of the data showed that the differences in the milk yield and its comopsition among the three breeds were significant. It was also clear in milk yield and T. S. % in the various stages of lactation. | ||
