Abstract
The objectives of this study were to investigate determining environmental factors on composition, renneting time, urea concentration, acidity, density and pH of Anatolian Buffaloes milk. As a total of 115 milk samples from 53 cows that were calved in 2004 and 2005 in 8 units of Ilikpinar Village were collected in morning milkings in June, September, December and March. The cows were on their lactation days 30 +/- 15, 60 +/- 15, 90 +/- 15, 120 +/- 15, 150 +/- 15, 180 +/- 15, 210 +/- 15, 240 +/- 15 and 270 +/- 15. The milk samples were analysed for total dry matter, fat, protein, ash, density, pH, acidity, renneting time and urea content. Rennet coagulation time, urea, protein and fat contents were determined using Berridge, photometric, formol titration and Gerber methods, respectively. Data were classified as follows; lactation stages: 1 (30 +/- 15, 60 +/- 15, 90 +/- 15 days): 2 (120 +/- 15, 150 +/- 15, 180 +/- 15): 3 (210 +/- 15, 240 +/- 15, 270 +/- 15); calving year: 1 (2004), 2 (2005); calving season: 1 (January-May), 2 (September and October); month of samples collection: 1 (June), 2 (September), 3 (December), 4 (March); lactation order: 1 and 2 : 1, 3 and 4: 2, 5 and 6: 3. Effects of environmental factors on each variable were investigated separately and analysed using analysis of variance. Production mount on all the characteristics; calving year and lactation stage on most of the characteristics; lactation order on fat and protein contents; unit and calving season on some of the characteristics were found to be effective significantly.
