Materials and methodsMilk sample collection from Local area in Farah and three different animals' cows, Goat and Buffalo with an average age were used for this research. Early morning fresh milk samples were collected from the Cow, Goat and Buffalo with separate containers using standard milking procedures. To avoid contamination, containers used for sample collection were sterilized by soaking in 10% HNO3 for 24hours; then in distilled water for another 24hours after which they were rinsed with more distilled water and finally dried ready for sample collection. The collected samples were immediately packaged and transported for analysis. Proximate AnalysisProximate parameters determined using the AOAC method. Moisture, ash, crude protein, and crude lipid contents were determined by oven drying, furnace, micro Kjeldah, soxlet extraction methods respectively [10]. Mineral analysisThe samples for mineral analysis were digested as per the procedure described by Kolmer [11] with slight modification. Briefly, 0.2 g sample was mixed with 7 ml of nitric acid (HNO3) and 1ml Hydrogen peroxide in 50 ml digestion tube. These samples were then kept in Rheological behavior and comparative analysis of nutrient composition of milk from three different breeds of goats, cows, and buffalo AbstractMilk is a considerable resource of products whose composition varies. Four components are dominant in quantitative terms: water, fat, protein and lactose; while the minor components are minerals, enzymes, vitamins, and dissolved gases. Exogenous nutrients supply in the human diet is required because of their biological significance for common life conservation. Milk is said to be the most unique and ideal class of food, because it meets the nutritional needs of the body better than any single food. This study to investigate the major constituents of milk obtained from three different breeds of cows, Goats and found in local area of village such as Farah reason. Proximate parameters -moisture, ash, crude protein and lipid were determined by AOAC methods and Rheological behavior such as viscosity analysis in milk sample and mineral element analysis by using ICPMS (Perkin Elmer) to determine calcium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium and magnesium respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
