Effect of feeding she-camel by desert plants on the milk yield, composition and the probiotic yoghurt properties made from the milk
Abstract: Fifteen female camels were used in this study to determine the effects of feeding she-camel by some desert plants (camel thorn or Atriplex) on milk yield, its composition during lactation stage for 90 days and Cholesterol content & Insulin in each milk, yoghurt and blood, also the effect of this desert plants on, probiotic yoghurt physicochemical characteristics.
Results indicated use of Atriplx and camel-thorn significantly (P<0.01) increase in ash content and insignificant increased in daily milk yield and other milk composition (total solids, total proteins, lactose, PH ), While insignificant decreased in fat content and acidity. Also, there were significant increase in milk and yoghurt contents of cholesterol and insulin but significant decrease in blood content of cholesterol and insulin.
In addition, feeding she-camels on Triplex had insignificant higher of TS, TP, Ash and pH than feeding camel thorn compared with berseem hay (control) while values of fat content and acidity were decrease in the probiotic yoghurt manufactured from mixture fresh whole camel milk and fresh whole buffalo milk at ratio 50:50.
Total bacterial count were increased with Atriplx treatment than camel-thorn treatment compared with control during storage period for 10 dayes/ 6±loC. Sensory evaluation was carried out in Probiotic yoghurt samples when fresh, 5 and 10 days of storage. The control group had the highest score of flavors, body and texture, appearance, acidity and total panel scores than that of the other treatments.
