Milk from 24 Nili Ravi buffaloes were collected on fortnight basis from Tarir Dairy Farm, Dhanola on Sargodha Road, Faisalabad. Data obtained for each attribute was subjected to statistical analysis. Oxytocin administration to buffaloes milk resulted in increased pH, proteins, lactose and solid-not-fat and decreased in fat percent as compared to normal animals. Alkaline phosphotase, acid phosphotase, lactoperoxidase activity, and thiocyanate were high in oxytocin treated while lipase activity was low in buffaloes. Caprylic acid(C8), capric acid (C10), myristic acid (C14), palmitic (C16) were high while butyric acid (C4), caproic acid (C6), lauric acid (C12), steric acid (C18), oleic acid (C18:1), linoleic acid (C18:2) were significantly low in oxytocin treated buffalo. Vitamins (A, D, E and C) were high in oxytocin treated buffaloes as compared to control. Milk sodium, phosphorus and copper were high while low in potassium, iron and zinc in experimental group. From this study it is concluded that regular use of oxytocin injections do alter the milk composition which could have a promising effect on the milk value added products to effect the human health.

Diabetes mellitus is an important endocrine disorder and is causing health problems in many countries. According to the available data overall 6.9 million people Pakistan are affected with diabetes, whereas WHO has ranked Pakistan as 7th on diabetes prevalence day. The International Diabetes Federation has given some predictions that by 2030 the 366 million people with diabetes will increase to 522 million. Dietary supplementation of soy isoflavone has been given promising results regarding altering glycemic level, and insulin resistance in post-menopausal diabetic women with type 2 diabetes. Soy isoflavone has a constructive and straight effect on controlling diabetes. Recent study explored the hypoglycemic effect of soy isoflavone in post-menopausal diabetic women. Fifteen diabetic post-menopausal women were fed on 60 mg/day soy isoflavone at fasting time. The pre-feeding blood glucose and two hours after feeding blood glucose levels of diabetic women were examined daily, while other bio-chemical assays like blood insulin, liver functioning test, total protein, albumin, globulin, urea and creatinine were determined weekly during the course of the study.

Milk is one of the essential product in human diet, rich in nutritive components. Goat milk is of great economic concern to producers, manufacturers and consumers. The quality of milk is closely related to its physiochemical and biological composition. Both groups were comprised of eight samples each. Milk samples were collected and filtered. Filtrate of all samples were stored at -4 C in small aliquots. Spectrophotometer was used to measure total oxidant and total antioxidant status, thiocyanate, lipase activity and lactoperoxidase activity. Kit method was used to measure thyroid level, alkaline phosphatase and acid phosphatase. Proximate analysis was done to compare the composition of goat milk during different stages of lactation. From present study it is concluded that parturition affect enzymatic activities and hormonal concentration in milk. It also affects oxidant and antioxidant level of milk on different stages. But there is no affect of parturition on nutritional value of milk. It remains unchanged after fifteen days and three months of parturition."
