| Abstract | ||
| The main objective of this study was to determine the effect of copper deficiency on some milk constituents of ewes.(Thirty)raw milk samples have been collected in the morning and before feeding of the ewes,(10) of them from ewes suffering from copper deficiency and the other(20) milk samples were collected from healthy ewes .The percentages of fat ,protein ,lactose, chloride, specific gravity, moisture and the pH of milk were determined. The results have shown that copper deficiency have an effect on the milk constituents where all milk samples collected from ewes suffering from copper deficiency had significantly (p<0.01) lower percentages of fat (5.70%) ,protein(3.0%), lactose (3.4%) and specific gravity (1.0338) than those collected from healthy ewes that had (7.62%),(4.0%),(4.07%) and (1.0369) respectively. Data revealed that there was a significant (p<0.01) increase in the percentage of moisture (87%) and non significant (p>0.05) increase in the percentage of chloride (0.0921%) in the milk samples collected from ewes suffering from copper deficiency than healthy ones that had (83%) and (0.0858%) respectively. In addition to that no changes in the pH values between all milk samples were noticed. | ||
