ABSTRACT

This investigation deals with the comparative analysis of the nutrient composition of milk samples of Vechur cow, Chembanaruvi cow with a cross breed jersey. Various physico-chemical parameters were noted. The pH varied between 6.0 to 6.1 in Vechur and Chembanaruvi cows but hybrid Jersey shows nearly neutral in nature i.e., 6.4. The minimum fat concentration in endemic verities reported was 3.2 g/100g the maximum fat concentration was 5.8 g/100g. But in hybrid cow’s milk the fat concentration was 4.4 g/100g. The average calcium concentration in Vechur cow’s milk was 129 mg/100g and in Chembanaruvi cow milk was 71.2 mg/100g. In cross breed jersey the calcium concentration was only 57.0 mg/100g. The protein concentration in Vechur cow’s milk was 3.7%, in Chembanaruvi cow’s milk was 2.7 % and in cross breed jersey the protein concentration was 2.5%. The carbohydrate concentration in Vechur r cow’s milk was 3.8 g/100g, in Chembanaruvi cow’s milk it was 8.0 g/100g and in cross breed Jersey it was 12.5 g/100g. The concentration of phosphorus in Vechur cow milk was 116 Mg/100g, Chembanaruvi cow’s milk, there is a marginal increase was observed. It was 150 Mg/100g and in cross breed jersey the concentration was 140 Mg/100g. Keywords: Vechur cow, Chembanaruvi cow, Milk, Nutrient composition, Endemic
