“…The variation in mineral reflects many genetic and environmental factors such as the system of feeding and browsing of different plants. The mean content of fat and protein in our study shows a lower results compared to those reported by Konuspayeva et al (2009b), Igbal et al (2001) and Zeleke (2007), but otherwise close to results reported by Farah and Fisher (2004). This wide variation in the milk constituents is generally attributed to some factors such as breed, herd management, sampling technique used and feed quality (Al-Shaikh and Salah, 1994).…”

Weekly milk samples from ten lactating she camels (Camelus dromedarius) were analyzed regularly for 11 months after parturition. The main values for all samples were 2.54 ± 0.72g/100g fat matter, 3.07 ± 0.30g/100g protein, 4.21 ± 0.37g/100g lactose and 0.76 ± 0.10g/100g ash. Fat content decreased from 3.41% at the first week to 2.29% at 36th week post-partum with rising at the end to 2.95% while protein decreased from 3.44% at week 1 to 2.79% at the end of lactation, and lactose from 4.48% to 3.90%. Ash increased from 0.72% to 0.82% then decreased down to 0.71%. Regarding seasonal variation, maximum level of fat was observed in January (3.46%) and minimum at summer time (2.29% in July). Protein content was maximum in February (3.32%) and minimum in October (2.76%). For lactose, the maximum mean value was 4.38% in February and the minimum in September (3.83%). The ash content was quite variable in January then stable all over the year. All components were highly positively correlated, except between fat and ash content which was not significant. No significant effect of parity, gestation length, calf body weight at birth or adult weight on all milk content. The average total milk production was 1207 L for 11 months range between 875 and 1616 L. The correlation between milk production and milk components are significantly negative.

“…These results are in consonance with the results of Wernery et al [35]. The fat content in the present study was found lower in comparison to that of fat content noted in camels by [5,18,23,26,28,29,31,32,36,37]. This low percentage is certainly due to an environmental difference reflecting the desert nature of our country.…”

These findings are higher compared to those of [26][27][28][29][30][31] which revealed the protein content of camel milk ranging from 1.80-3.9%.

Generally, estimates of fat percentage of camel fat vary with the season [38] and stage of lactation [28]. Yagil and Etzion [39] reported that high temperature and water restriction increased the water contents in camel milk and reduced its fat percentage.…”

The camel (Camelus dromedarius) is of significant socio-economic importance in the United Arab Emirates and its milk constitutes an important component of human diets in this country. In the present study, the analysis of nutritional value and medicinal properties of camel milk was recorded. The mean values of the main components monitored (g per 100 g) were: density (1.024±0.0021), pH values (6.67±0.059), moisture (88.96±1.222), proteins (3.71±0.16), fat (2.21±0.16), lactose (3.36±0.25), ash (0.48±0.05) and total solids (11.26±0.69). The overall mean values (%) were 14.65±7.70 for iron, 8.19±0.01 for zinc, 0.42±0.02 for copper, 0.19±0.01 for potassium, 0.14±0.02 for sodium, 0.11± 0.02 for calcium, 0.05±0.01 for phosphorus and 0.03±0.02 for sulphur. Camel milk is highly nutritious and is very suitable for human nutritional requirements. Camel milk is safe for consumption by human babies. However, be advised that camel milk is saltier than human and cow milk. Camel milk is richer in iron, zinc, copper, potassium, sodium, calcium and vitamin C than cow milk which makes it closer to human breast-milk than cow milk. The fat content of camel milk consisting of unsaturated fatty acids, volatile fatty acids, mainly linoleic acid, makes the milk more digestible and more cardiovascular friendly. Camel milk also has valuable therapeutic properties as it contains a high concentration of anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-parasitic compounds and these help fight serious diseases like hepatitis, Rota viral diarrhoea, tuberculosis, and shistosomiasis. Also, camel milk has been used therapeutically against certain types of cancer, diabetes, colitis, autism and Crohn's disease. Camel's milk can A. T. Al-Juboori be considered an option for individuals intolerant to lactose and children allergic to cow's milk.

“…This could due to difference in feed intake by the camel and to difference in breeds, geographic locality, lactating stage and the environment. [5], [19] determined the fatty acid composition and cholesterol content in camel's milk of Bactrian, dromedary and hybrids from different regions of Kazakhstan, and in different seasons. Great differences in fatty acid composition occurred between regions.…”

Running title: Fatty acids in milk of Camelus dromedarius from Sudan. Abstract:The content of fatty acids was determined in milk from camel (Camelus dromedarius), under farming system and Natural pasture, by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC). Milk from farming and pastoral system, respectively, contained (84.3and 85.7 mg/ g) total fatty acids, where, saturated fatty acids formed 67.5% and 63.8%, unsaturated fatty acids formed 32.5% and 36.2%, USFA/ SFA was 0.48 and 0.57,respectively. Monounsaturated acids (MUFA) formed 29.8% and 34.4%, polyunsaturated acids (PUFA) formed 2.7% and 1.8%, respectively. Palmitic acid (C16:0) and Stearic acid (C18:0) were the major SFA, Oleic (C18:1n9c) and Palmitoleic (C16:1) acids were the major MUFA, Linoleic acid (C18:2n6c) was the major PUFA. Short chain Caproic acid (C6:0) was 0.13% in milk from farming system and 0.2% in milk from pastoral system, medium chains (MCFA) was 8.9% and 10.7%, and long chains (LCFA) 90% and 89% in milk of the two systems, respectively. Omega 3 and 6 (N-3/ N-6) ratio was 0.17 and 0.08, respectively. The content of fatty acids in milk of Camelus dromedarius was comparable to other mammalian milk, and the results indicated that camel milk from different raising systems is a good potential source of essential fatty acids and can provide the daily requirement of healthy diet.
