Abstract

A total of 90 camel milk samples from healthy she-camels (Camelus dromedaries) in different (parity numbers (one to fifth), different breeds and seasons) were randomly collected to investigate the effect of parity order on some minerals content of camels milk from intensive and traditional management systems in Butana area. Data obtained were analyzed with SPPS version 21 software using analysis of variance and independent-sample- T. Test. Results revealed that season had significant effect (P>0.05) on minerals content of camel milk that were collected from intensive management system. Wherein, all studied minerals (Ca, Mg, Cu, P, Fe and Zn) were markedly affected by season. Furthermore, season had significant affect on minerals content of camel milk under traditional management system particularly (Ca, Mg, Cu, Fe and P) values. Season interaction effects showed significant differences (P>0.05) between systems in values of Ca, Cu and Fe during autumn, summer and winter season. The study concluded that parity order had significant effect on some minerals content of camel milk under traditional and intensive management system in Butana area of Sudan.
