VARIABILITY OF VITAMINS (A, E AND C) LEVELS IN ARABI CAMEL MILK IN SUDAN | Journal of Global Agri..

The purpose of this study was to look at some of the characteristics that are linked to the vitamins (A, E, and C) content of Arabi camel milk in Sudan. Samples of camel milk were gathered from 120 healthy female camels in various production techniques (Traditional nomadic and semi-intensive system). The she camels tested were from various ecotypes of camel (Butana, Nefidia, and Kenana), and they were at various stages of lactation (early, mid, late, and final stages of lactation), as well as varying parity numbers (1-5 parities). Spectrophotometric methods were used to determine the vitamin levels. When comparing the traditional nomadic system (Nefidia camel) to the semi-intensive system (Khartoum), the traditional nomadic system (Nefidia camel) has higher vitamin levels in camel milk (Butana camel). In comparison to Kenana and Butana camels, Nefidia camel milk had higher levels of vitamin A (retinol), vitamin E (tocopherol), and vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Vitamin A, E, and C levels in camel milk were higher in Kenana camels lactating for more than 180 days than in those lactating for less than 180 days. The findings revealed that camel milk vitamins (A, C, and E) levels are mostly influenced by production practises and breeds (P0.05), with lactation stages and parity numbers having modest effects. It was also discovered that the levels of retinol and tocopherol in camel milk had a negative association, whereas ascorbic acid and -tocopherol levels had a positive correlation, and that ascorbic acid had a positive link with management systems, breeds, lactation stage, and parity number.
