The survey studies were based on a total of 120 (2 production systems * 2 rural kebele * 30 households) milk producers, which were selected from Degahbur district using stratified sampling technique. Data from the selected producers were collected using questionnaire survey and field observation. The results showed that the majority of the sampled household heads in pastoral (93.3%) and agro-pastoral (76.6%) production systems were illiterate. Moreover, none of the respondents in the study area had training on hygienic milk production and postharvest handling practices. The study result also indicated that none of the respondents in the study area washed the udder of milking camel before milking. Moreover, only 6.6% of pastoralists and 25% of agro-pastoralists wash their hands before milking. Equipment made of wooden materials are mainly used for milking, whereas, plastic jerry-cans were most commonly used for storage. About 45% of the pastoralists and 81.6% of the agro-pastoralists were cleaning milk vessels regularly;however, majority of the respondents both production systems were using water from non-tap sources for hygienic practices. Bosciaminimifolia, Acacia ethaica and Blanitesgalabra were the most commonly used plant species for smoking in the study area. Therefore, hygienic production and postharvest handling practices should be followed to improve the quality and suitability of camel milk for its intended use in the study area.展开更多

The camel milk plays a vital role in the food of the Algerian nomads in the Sahara. During February and September, 20 samples of the raw camel's milk were taken starting from different livestock of camels from three different Sahariennes regions (Bechar, EI-Bayadh and Naama). These 20 collected samples were analyzed by physico-chemical and microbiological methods. The results of physicochemical analyze obtained from two hot and cold seasons are respectively the following: T ~C (35.83 and 33.95), pH (6.36 and 6.49), density (1.031 and 1.032), dornic acidity (18.6 and 18.3 ~D), dry matter (93.4 and 144.8 g/L), fat contents (30 and 52.1 g/L), total protein (26.3 and 33.1 g/L) and ashes (7.46 and 8.66 g/L). The protein profile obtained by electrophoretic analysis (SDS-PAGE) showed that camel milk contains several types of proteins and some have a molecular weight identical to major proteins of the cow's milk. The final results showed that camel milk has generally a comparable composition to that of bovine milk. The microbiological analysis, of these samples, detected a significant number of the total microflora, Staphylococcus aureus and total coliforms. The absence of Clostridium and fecal coliforms was observed. Several species of lactic acid bacteria were detected such as Lactococcus lactis subsp, lactis, Lactococcus lactis subsp, lactis biovar, diacetylactis, Weissella cibaria and Enteroccocusfeacalis.展开更多

A total of 40 pooled raw camel milk samples (each with a volume of 450 mL) were collected from the udders and milk handling equipment of producers in Degahbour district. The raw milk samples were subjected to laboratory analyses to evaluate standard plate counts (SPC), total coliform count (TCC) yeast and mold count (YMC) to determine the microbiological quality of the raw camel milk in the study area. The overall mean SPC, CC and YMC for raw camel milk samples collected from the udder was 5.35 ± 0.19, 2.59 ± 0.16 and 1.71 ± 0.12, respectively. The overall mean counts for samples collected from the equipment of producers were 6.72 ± 0.17, 4.71 ± 0.23 and 1.61 ± 0.21 for SPC, CC and YMC, respectively. Significant difference (P 0.05) in mean SPC, TCC and YMC was observed between milk samples collected from pastoral and agro-pastoral production systems as well as collected from udders and milk equipment. In general, it was concluded that raw camel milk samples collected from the udder as well as from the equipment of producers were contaminated with SPC, CC and YMC, with loads exceeding the respective acceptable limits. Therefore, hygienic production and postharvest handling practices need to be followed to improve the quality and suitability of camel milk for its intended use in the study area.展开更多
