Mineral Profile of Camel (Camelus dromedarius) Milk under Pastoral Production System in Katsina State, Nigeria

Abstract

The most important factor in camel milk for people living in dry zone is its water and mineral contents. Camels provide food and other means of livelihood in the pastoral communities of Northern Katsina State. However, the composition of camel milk provides essential mineral and nutrients to the humans. This study was designed to investigate the mineral composition of camel milk under the pastoral production system. Randomly, twelve (12) lactating camel cows at parities one, three and five were used for milk collection. Results obtained from this study across the seasons with respect to parities indicated significant (P<0.05) difference from Zinc (562.40μg/100g) in parity three, Copper (138.25μg/100g), Iron (269.65μg/100g), Sodium (58.33 mg/100g), Potassium (149.10mg/100g), Calcium (114.91mg/100g), Magnesium (12.79 mg/100g) from parity five and Phosphorous (88.51 mg/100g) from parity one respectively. From the results, it is concluded that higher concentrations of mineral elements were reported from parity five as the quantity of milk produced also increases as parity advanced.
