Effect of goat breeds on the milk composition under climatic conditions of Lalsot tahsil of Dausa district Rajasthan

Abstract

The milk is rightly described often as near complete food in nature. It contains all five major nutrients: fat, protein, lactose (milk sugar), vitamins and minerals (salts). The research was conducted at the Lalsot tahsil of Rukmani Devi College of agriculture, Dausa district of Rajasthan during 2021-23. The specific gravity of Sirohi goat breed’s milk was significant than that of Jakhrana animals. The overall fat per cent in the both breeds during 2021- 23 of all the 1200 samples was found to be 4.61±0.021, Solids Not Fat (SNF) 8.44±0.032 per cent and total solids percentage was found to be 14.31 ± 0.034. The protein per cent during 2021 - 22 conditions was significantly (p < 0.01) significant than that of farm rearing goat milk in both the breeds. The statistical analysis also revealed that the lactose content in 2021 – 22 has significantly higher than that of 2022 -23 in Jakhrana as well as Sirohi goat breeds at p < 0.05. The overall average ash content in both breed’s milk during 2021 - 23 of all samples was found to be 0.814±0.007 per cent. Breed had conspicuous effects on milk com[position.
