Milk Composition of Camels and Goats Grazing in Butana Area

This study was conducted to determinate and compare milk composition and some essential macro and micro elements of camels and goats milk that are grazing in the same area (Butana). Moreover, to assess the chemical composition and some essential macro and micro elements of mixed pasture in Butana area. Two hundred and fourty samples of milk were randomly collected form lactating camels and lactating goats (120 camels-120goats). These samples were examined to determine the percent of total solids, fat, protein, ash and lactose. Some minerals as Ca, P, Mg, Na, K, Zn, Co and I, were determined. The result showed that there were non significant differences at (p>0.05) between milk of the two species in total solids, fat, protein, lactose, P, K, Zn, Co and I.. There was significant different at (p<0.05) in ash and Mg, also high significant different at (p<0.01) in Na and very highly significant different at (p
