Summary

Camel milk vitamin C (ascorbic acid) levels vary by breed, lactation stage, and parity. Mastitis significantly reduces ascorbic acid in camel milk and blood plasma.

Polyprotic Acids

Acids are classified by the number of protons per molecule that they can give up in a reaction. Acids such as HCl, HNO3, and HCN that contain one ionizable hydrogen atom in each molecule are called monoprotic acids. Their reactions with water are:

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Animal Science
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a vital nutrient for camel health.
  • Factors influencing ascorbic acid levels in camel milk are not well-documented.
  • Understanding these factors is crucial for camel husbandry and milk quality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between milk vitamin C concentrations and camel breed, lactation stage, parity, and mastitis.
  • To provide insights into the nutritional composition of Sudanese camel milk.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study involving 2586 Sudanese camels.
  • Analysis of milk and blood plasma for ascorbic acid content.
  • Statistical analysis to determine associations between variables.

Intranasal Immunization and Milk Collection in Studies of Maternal Immunization in New Zealand White Rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus)

Published on: July 31, 2021

Main Results:

  • Arabi camels exhibited higher milk ascorbic acid than Anafi or Bishari breeds.
  • Ascorbic acid levels increased with lactation stage (beyond 180 days) and parity (multiparous camels).
  • Colostrum had higher ascorbic acid than mature milk; mastitis decreased ascorbic acid in milk and plasma.

Conclusions:

  • Camel milk's ascorbic acid content is influenced by breed, lactation stage, and parity.
  • Mastitis negatively impacts ascorbic acid levels in both milk and blood plasma.
  • These findings have implications for camel health management and milk nutritional value.
