Chemical composition and microbiological quality of ewe and goat milk of native Greek breeds

Chemical and microbiological characteristics of ewe milk of Boutsiko and Karamaniko breeds and goat milk of the indigenous Greek breed (Capra prisca) were determined. No significant differences were observed for fat, protein, lactose, casein and solids-non-fat contents of ewe milk of both breeds. Th...

Description
Summary:Chemical and microbiological characteristics of ewe milk of Boutsiko and Karamaniko breeds and goat milk of the indigenous Greek breed (Capra prisca) were determined. No significant differences were observed for fat, protein, lactose, casein and solids-non-fat contents of ewe milk of both breeds. The microbiological quality of ewe milk of both breeds was, generally, better than that of goat milk. The mean content of vitamin A was significantly (P
