Baseline composition and microbial quality assessment of raw milk from endemic small ruminants and Maghrebi camels in the oasis area of Tunisia

Abstract: The milk quality and characteristics of the local Gharbi sheep and autochthonous goat population were studied and compared to those of the local Maghrebi camel. Milk samples from 378 lactating animals raised in the Tunisian oasis region were obtained and processed for various physicochemical compositions (pH, density, acidity, dry matter, fat, protein, lactose, casein, ash, and casein-protein ratio), mineral concentrations (Ca, P, Na, and K), and bacteriological properties (total mesophilic aerobic bacteria (T… Show more

“…The lower phosphorus values in CM compared to goat were confirmed later: 0.87 vs. 1.31 g/L. In a recent comparative study ( Khaldi et al, 2022 ), phosphorus recorded in Gharbi sheep milk was 1.45 ± 0.19 vs. 1.18 ± 0.24 in goat and 0.58 ± 0.18 in Maghrebi CM. Thus, as for calcium, the concentration of phosphorus in CM is not exceptional.…”
