Dairying, Dr.PDKV., Akola. The main objective of present investigation was to
study the effect of lactation on composition and physico-chemical properties of
local goat milk. During the entire study the fresh goat milk samples were
collected from local goats in I, II, III and IV lactations of which four goats
were in each lactation. The lactation had significant increasing effect on fat,
protein, ash, TS, SNF, titratable acidity and viscosity. All milk components
are gradually increased from I to IV lactation with exception of lactose and
pH.
