Abstract:
This experiment was conducted at three sites: Sudan University of
Science and Technology Department of animal production farm,
(Shambat), ELsoodi Maternal Hospital in Omdurman, and in a dairy
camels farm in Omdurman. The purpose of this study to compare the
chemical and immunological characteristic of human, goats and she
camels. Seven lactating pure Nubian goats, seven lactating mothers and
four lactating she camels were selected and divided according to their
parity order. All recently delivered, and were in good health. Three
colostrums samples of the second and third parity order were collected
from each species, and sent to Food Research Center laboratory for
protein and minerals (Ca, P, and Fe) analysis. Whereas the
immunological analysis was done at (Saredar laboratory AL dogy-
Egypt) to test the concentration of immunoglobulins A and
immunoglobulinsG (IgA and IgG) of goats, human and she camels
colostrum. The results of protein and minerals content of goats, human
and she camels colostrums showed significant (P < 0.05) difference
within the three days after parturition. But the results of protein and
minerals( (P, Ca and Fe) content of colostrums showed no significant (P
>0.05) difference on second and third parity order between three different
species. However, the IgA and IgG concentration of those three days on
the colostrums showed no significant (P > 0.05) difference between
goats, human and she camel colostrums. Whereas the level of IgA and
IgG concentration in the colostrums of the three experimental species
showed significant (P <0.05) difference of their second and third parity
order. In this study the results of protein, Calcium, phosphorus content
and IgG concentration of she camel colostrums showed almost
V
significant (p< 0.05) difference on human colostrums compared to goats
colostrums. However, iron content and IgA concentration in goats
colostrums showed was almost significant (p<0.05) difference to human
colostrums compared to she camels colostrums.
