“…Milk total solid decreased with increase in ginger supplementation from the group of RSD fed diet containing 250 g ginger to those fed diet containing 750 g ginger. The values of solids-not-fat recorded in this study were similar to the mean value reported by Midau (2012), where Milk Yield and Milk Composition of Red Sokoto Goats were analyzed during the wet season. According to Simos et al (1991), milk fat; protein and solid not fat was negatively correlated to increase in milk yield.…”

A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of inclusion levels of ginger on milk yield and composition of Red Sokoto does. A total of twenty-eight (28) Red Sokoto does (RSD) weighing on the average 16.29 kg were used. The animals were randomly assigned to four diets, containing 0, 250, 500 and 750g/100kg diet levels of ginger respectively in a completely randomized design. Each of the animals were fed concentrate at 1.5% of body weight. Milk yield and composition were recorded. Udder and teats of each doe were washed with cotton wool soaked in disinfectant (Methylated spirit) and then they were hand-milked into sterilized containers and measured using calibrated cylinder. Milk samples were analyzed for total solids, fat and protein using infrared spectrophotometry. Ash content was determined after heating in a muffle furnace for 3 hours and the solids not fat content was calculated by difference. Results obtained showed that higher total milk yield of 360 liters was recorded in RSD fed diet containing 250 g ginger. All milk composition parameters (total solid, ash, fat, solid not fat and crude protein), were significantly affected (P<0.05) by ginger inclusion. Fat and crude protein contents were significantly affected (P<0.05) by lactation stages with their higher values (P<0.05) recorded in mid lactation stage (4.35% and 3.61%) respectively. Ash content recorded significantly higher value (P<0.05) in early lactation stage (1.05%). Ginger inclusion levels in the diets of RSD improved milk yield and milk composition.

“…They also had slight acceptability that"sheep and goats' milk is as attractive as that of cattle's ( = 2.82) and the understanding that "Sheep and goats' milk… and/or milk products … could serve as substitute for that of cattle's ( = 2.88). This observation is congruent to Midau (2012) observation that ruminants' milk, particularly that of goats, is rich in nutritional content and as such could be used to supplement the nutritional status of the rural farm families.…”

The nutritional intake of the rural households, which is largely characterised by carbohydrates at the expense of protein intake, has the potentials of being improved through the consumption of sheep and goats' milk. With the widespread of small ruminant keeping by rural households in most developing countries, the study embarked on investigation of possible acceptability of sheep and goats' milk for consumption by farm families in selected rural communities of Ogun State. With the use of interview guide to obtain information from the conveniently selected 150 rural farm families, the results showed that 72% of them reared goats, keeping between 6 and 10 of the animal; 84% consumed wara (local cheese) as milk product from cow's milk; and 20% occasionally consumed milk either in evaporated and/or powdered forms. Although, none of the rural farm families ever consumed sheep and goats' milk basically because it was hardly available in the Nigerian market in any form, 57.3% of them slightly accepted to consume the small ruminant's milk. Chi-square test of the relationship between farm families' socioeconomic characteristic; their milk consumption pattern and their probable acceptability of sheep and goats' milk for consumption showed no significant relationship. The study concluded that the rural farm families had a slight potential of accepting the small ruminants' milk for consumption and thus recommended that the farm families should be educated and trained on technical exploration of the small ruminants' milk for production and consumption.
