Abstract:
The present study was undertaken to investigate the fat soluble vitamins profile in milk of zebu cattle viz. Kankrej, Sahiwal and Rathi in hot arid region of India. About 150 indigenous milking cattle (50 from each breed) viz. Kankrej, Sahiwal and Rathi were included in the study and 100 ml of milk sample was collected from four quarter of udder of lactating cows as pool sample from different Livestock research stations of Rajasthan University of Veterinary and Animal science, Bikaner. Milk samples were analyzed by HPLC and one way ANOVA and DMRT (SPPS 24) to assess fat soluble vitamins profile in milk. The results showed significant variation of retinol content (p<0.05) among three cattle breeds. Whereas, Sahiwal cattle have significantly higher retinol content as compared to Kankrej and Rathi. α-tocopherol, cholecalciferol and vitamin D2 were significantly not differ in among breeds. The present study concluded the milk from the indigenous cattle breeds have distinct compositions and quantities of different active components that can be harnessed to promote different functional foods based on indigenous cattle milk.
Highlights
- Variation of fat soluble vitamins profile in milk of different Zebu cattle breeds.
- Sahiwal cattle have significantly higher retinol content as compared to Kankrej and Rathi.
