Abstract
This study was carried out to investigate the: (1) The effect of short-term milking interval of 4 and 6 hours on yield, secretion rate and composition of milk as well as mammary tight junction integrity. (2) The effect of milking frequency on milk production and mammary tight junction, to conclude appropriate number of daily milking of she one humped camel. (3) Histological structure of the mammary gland of she-camel. The present study could conclude that: (1) Milk yield increased by increasing milking interval. These increases were about 40, 79, 126, 153 and 184%at milking interval of 4h , 74, 147, and 222% at milking interval of 6h and Such increase in milk yield by increasing milking frequency was about 25 and 33% by increasing milking frequency from one to two or three milkings. (2) Milk secretion rate during each milking interval showed gradual reduction by increasing milking interval, the highest (436.5 g/h) for milking interval of 4 hours and the lowest (206.9 g/h) for milking interval of 24 hours. (3) Increasing milking interval decrease percentage of fat and increased protein content. (5) The marked reduction of SCC in milk at milking intervals from 8-20, may indicate that camel udders were healthy and were not affected negatively by different milking intervals in a short period. (6) Average concentration of plasma lactose of she-camel showed decrease by increasing milking interval from 6 up 18 hours (7) Tight junction of camel mammary gland may tolerate increasing milking interval more than 6 hours up to 24 h. (8) The impact of two milkings of she-camels on milk composition and SSC from the economic point of view was better than three milkings. Also, this trend was in consistent with the results of the effect of short term milking intervals for 4 or 6 hours.
