Summary: | Possible differences between compositions of raw goat?s milk due to the types
of farmings system (organic, conventional and traditional) were investigated.
Farms were located in different parts of Republic of Serbia. All animals were
loose housed. The capacity of the farm ranged from 50 to 750 French Alpine
goats. A total of 72 bulk samples of raw milk were collected from each farm
during the year. The principle of analysis of raw milk samples was in
accordance to mid-infrared spectrometry and flow cytometry. The following
parameters in raw Milk were analyzed: fat, protein, lactose, total solids,
somatic cell count, milk urea, and contents of fatty acid: saturated,
unsaturated, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. The fixed
effect the types of farming and season (winter, spring, summer and fall) have
shown a statistical significance difference (P<0.05) on all examined milk
parameters except to the content of lactose, MU and the number of SCC (P>
0.05). The Composition of milk also affected by a number of other factors
such as the nutrition of dairy goats, breed and farm management. It is
recommended to consider all these factors during the comparison of different
farming systems. The results that showed significant differences could be
used to improve the breeding technology of dairy goats, and feeding
strategies as well as emphasize the importance of using pastures.
