研究目的
The objectives of this study were (1) to monitor changes in concentration and yield of major chemical components of bulk dromedary camel milk over a 5-year period at the world’s largest commercial dairy camel operation, and (2) to evaluate the effect of different factors (year, season, stage of lactation, level of production) on bulk milk composition.
研究成果
The study demonstrated significant seasonal and yearly variations in the chemical composition of bulk dromedary camel milk, primarily influenced by environmental factors such as photoperiod and temperature. These findings have implications for the camel dairy industry, particularly in terms of milk processing and quality management.
研究不足
The study was conducted under specific environmental and management conditions, which may limit the generalizability of the findings to other regions or management systems. Additionally, the study focused only on major chemical components, leaving out other potential seasonal variations in milk composition.
