“…Lactose and total ash in buffalo milk was also high higher than camel milk but at P<0.05 level. The results of fat content of camel milk were in agreement of [8,9] and fat content found in buffalo milk was in accordance with that reported by [10,11] while [12] reported lower fat content in buffalo milk than present investigation. Because of its high fat content, buffalo milk had considerably higher energy value than camel's milk.…”

This research work was carried out to compare the various physicochemical parameters of two species, camel and buffalo. Camel milk samples were collected at National Research Centre on Camel, Bikaner and buffaloes milk samples were collected from the surroundings villages of Bikaner. After collection milk samples were brought to the laboratory of NRCC Bikaner and they were analyzed for fat, SNF (Solid Not Fat), protein, lactose, total ash and pH using milk analyzer (Lactoscan). Camel milk had 2.71±0.11 fat, 6.91±0.03 SNF, 2.23±0.02 protein, 3.86±0.02 lactose, 0.79±0.004 total ash and 6.95±0.01 pH while buffalo milk had 8.71±0.82 fat, 8.44±0.19 SNF, 4.11±0.02 protein, 4.46±0.15 lactose, 0.98±0.05 total ash and 7.59±0.02 pH. Fat, SNF, protein and pH of buffalo milk was significantly (P<0.001) higher than camel milk. Lactose and total ash in buffalo milk was also higher than camel milk but at P<0.05 level. So it can be concluded that all the studied parameters were high in buffalo milk than camel milk.

“…However, in contrast to the present study, they reported a decrease in mean SNF to 9.38±0.03% in successive second month. The mean SNF of 9.4-9.5% roughly similar to that of M15 group had been reported in Murrah buffaloes of Punjab [ 31 ] and Swamp buffaloes of Bangladesh [ 32 ]. Although, mean SNF of 9.9% that comes in between the mean SNF% reported in the present study for S60 and M60 was also reported in Bulgarian buffaloes [ 33 ].…”

“…Slightly higher protein (3.6-3.85%) as compared to S15 and S60 were reported in Egyptian buffaloes [ 34 , 36 ]. Protein content within the range of 3.73-3.97% which was in between the observed protein% in milk of Surti and Mehsani buffaloes had been reported in Murrah buffaloes of India [ 30 , 31 ] and Argentina [ 37 , 38 ] as well as water buffaloes of Bangladesh [ 32 ]. Slightly lower protein of 4.11% and 4.13% as compared to the M15 group was reported in buffaloes of Pakistan [ 39 ] and Brazil [ 22 ], respectively.…”

“…Mean SNF of 8.3% compared to all four groups of present study had also been reported in non-descript buffaloes reared at high altitudes in the Kumaon hills of the central Himalayas [ 35 ]. Similarly, mean SNF of 9.2% had also been reported in water buffaloes of Bangladesh [ 32 ]. The only reference of high SNF% comparable to that of M60 group was cited in Brazilian buffaloes producing milk with 10.4% SNF [ 22 ].…”

“…Lactose% in the range of 4.99-5.24 was reported in buffaloes of Egypt [ 34 , 36 ] that are in agreement with the findings of the present experiment. Lactose% in between 4.5% and 5.0% had been reported in buffaloes of India [ 30 , 31 ], Italy [ 44 ], Pakistan [ 39 ], Bangladesh [ 32 ], Azerbiajan [ 40 ], Murrah breed in Argentina [ 37 , 38 ], Jaffarabadi breed in Argentina [ 38 ], and Bulgaria [ 33 ]. However, lactose% higher than 5.0% in concurrence to present study was also reported in buffaloes of Pakistan [ 41 ] and France [ 27 ].…”

Test day variability in yield and composition of Surti and Mehsani buffaloes milk at day 15 and 60 postpartum

Aim:To estimate individual test day variability in yield and composition of Surti and Mehsani buffaloes milk at day 15 and 60 postpartum (pp).Materials and Methods:A total of 13 normally calved Surti and Mehsani buffaloes each maintained at Livestock Research Stations of Navsari and Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural Universities, respectively, were selected for the study. Milk sample was collected from each selected buffalo at day 15 and 60 pp to study milk yield and composition variability between these two breeds. Buffaloes were categorized for the ease of data analysis and comparisons into four groups, viz., S15 (Surti buffaloes 15th day pp), S60 (Surti buffaloes 60th day pp), M15 (Mehsani buffaloes 15th day pp), and M60 (Mehsani buffaloes 60th day pp).Results:There were 37.20% and 25.03% significant (p≤0.05) increase in mean test day milk yield (TDMY) of S60 and M60 as compared to S15 and M15 groups, respectively. The mean TDMY of Mehsani buffalo was 99.19% and 81.53% significantly (p≤0.05) higher than Surti buffaloes at day 15 and 60 pp, respectively. The mean fat and protein corrected test day milk yield (FPCTDMY) of all the groups was found to be significantly different (p≤0.05) from each other. There was significant (p≤0.05) increase of 1.94 and 3.45 kg in mean FPCTDMY with the progression of lactation between day 15 and 60 pp in Surti and Mehsani buffaloes, respectively. Similarly, the mean FPCTDMY of Mehsani buffaloes were approximately double with 103.27% and 96.36% higher yield as compared to Surti buffaloes at day 15 and 60 pp, respectively. Among milk composition, significant differences were observed for solid not fat (SNF) and protein%, whereas fat and lactose% were steady among four groups. The only significant (p≤0.05) difference was observed for SNF in M60 group, which was 8.29%, 6.85%, and 10.70% higher as compared to S15, S60, and M15 groups, respectively. The mean protein% in milk of Mehsani buffaloes was 21.01% and 33.05% significantly (p≤0.05) higher than Surti buffaloes milk at day 15 and 60 pp, respectively. However, there was a significant difference in protein% observed with the advancement of lactation in Mehsani buffaloes, but it was not so in the case of Surti buffaloes.Conclusion:Major consistent finding of the present study reveals that milk yield and protein% of Mehsani buffalo was significantly higher than Surti buffalo at day 15 and 60 pp.
