Goats produced high crude protein and fat milk for 3-5 days postpartum. Whereas, in ewes it was 3 days. Ewe's colostrum was richer in respect to total solids (TS), crude protein (CP), fat, lactose and ash as compared to goat's colostrum. It is recommended that first three days milk (colostrum) must be fed to kids / lambs for maximum benefits.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAwassi ewesShami goatscolostrumArticle321252810.1080/09712119.2007.97068402-s2.0-45449084695Q2WOS:000249768800005Q4
