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.
