Fat is a most important constituents in milk and enhance the nutritional value of milk. The fatty acids profile of milk is associated with many factors such as animal origin, lactation stage, ruminal fermentation, feed-related factors, seasonal and regional effects.The fatty acids composition in Himacahli Pahari cow, Jersey cross-bred cattle, Gaddi goat and local non-Gaddi goat milk was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Maximum levels of saturated fatty acids (SFAs) were present in local non-Gaddi goat (78.80%) followed by Himacahli Pahari cattle (72.58%), and Jersey cross-bred cattle (59.12%) milk. Extremely low levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) were present in Himacahli Pahari cattle, Jersey cross-bred, and local non-Gaddi goat milk. In Himacahli Pahari cattle milk, saturated palmitic acid (22.57%), stearic acid (15.92%) and monounsaturated oleic acid (26.17%) were present. In Jersey cross-bred cattle, higher amount of saturated myristic acid (18.42%), stearic acid (29.04%) and monounsaturated oleic acid (31.26%) were detected. The fat present in goat milk was found to be a rich source of medium chain fatty acids. The occurrence of palmitic acid in higher amount might be responsible for intense flavour in local non-Gaddi and Gaddi goat milk but needs further research. Among all the breeds the saturated fatty acid (SFA's) content was higher whereas the polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA's) present in lower amount.
