| dc.description.abstract | This study was conducted in Mieso district in western Hararghe Zone of Oromia Regional State with the objectives of investigating the quality and microbiological properties of dromedCllY camel mille. Milk samples at various stages of lactation were collected and analyzed for physico-chemical and microbiological characteristics. The data were analyzed using computer package SPSS version 15. A wide variation was observed in the results of raw camel milk across the three lactation stages. pH ranged between 6.52 and 6.99 (6.84+ 0.022) and acidity 0.2 and 0.61 (0.424 + 0.027). Total solids, solid notfat,fat, protein, lactose and ash contents ranged between 9.2 and 16.4,5.2 and 11.9,3 and 4.5, 1.4 and 3.44, 2.17 and 8.05,0.42 and 0.8 g per 100 g, respectively. Aerobic mesophilic count (AMBC) ranged between 7.4 and 9.5 (8.29± 0.133), coliform count (CC) o and 5.3 (2.78+0.309), Enterobacterceae 0 and 5.3 (3. 052±0. 289), yeast and mold count 0 to 7.4 (6.079+0.258). Iron (Fe) ranged between 0.35 and 2.25 mgll00g, Zn 0.71 and 1.2 mgll00g, Ca 9.1 and 10.5 mgll00 g and P 6.6 and 7.95 mgll00 g. Dromedary Camel milk of mieso district ----.'esenrblen'IJitld1tlman--milic-in--basic-composi/ion--of-fat;-protejn;--lotal--solid;-laetose-and--pH~ut---higher composition of acidity, ash, Zn and Fe were observed when compared to human milk. A natural replacement of Inlman milk with camel milk could be considered as an appropriate alternative. Results were analyzed using SPSS version 15. The designed used was completely randomized design (CRD) and the model used was linear model. | en_US |
