I was proud to participate in their traditions and was humbled when they made me an honorary chief of their tribe—an honor I hold close to my heart. In recent years, severe droughts in northeastern Tanzania have wreaked havoc on the primary sources of income and nutrition—cows and goats—for the Maasai in this region. As a result of the devastation, Heifer provided project par- ticipants with camels. The advantages of owning camels are many, but perhaps most important are a camel’s abili- ties to thrive in an arid environment and to provide a sus- tainable milk source. Because camels can live up to 50 years and are able to produce several times more milk than local cattle, the long-term nutrition of the Maasai people is greatly enhanced. The Maasai can perhaps rest a little easier knowing that in the event of future droughts, they are more secure.

Abstract This research was carried out to investigate key physicochemical parameters of milk samples collected from camel, cow and goat in Jigjiga district, Eastern Ethiopia. Sixty fresh milk samples were collected purposively from camels, cows and goats (twenty samples from each species) and analyzed. The results revealed that, cow milk had 6.30 ± 0.15 pH, 0.29 ± 0.04% titratable acidity, 14.6 ± 0.60% total solid, 0.75 ± 0.07% ash, 3.54 ± 0.12% protein, 5.54 ± 0.65% fat and 1.06 ± 0.03 specific gravity.

  • Survey of Postharvest Handling, Preservation and Processing Practices Along the Camel Milk Chain in Isiolo District, Kenya
    Volume 12 No. 7 December 2012 SURVEY OF POSTHARVEST HANDLING, PRESERVATION AND PROCESSING PRACTICES ALONG THE CAMEL MILK CHAIN IN ISIOLO DISTRICT, KENYA Wayua FO1*, Okoth MW2 and J Wangoh2 Francis Wayua *Corresponding author’s email: [email protected] 1Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, P.O. Box 147 (60500), Marsabit, Kenya 2Department of Food Science, Nutrition and Technology, University of Nairobi, P.O. Box 29053 (00625), Nairobi, Kenya 6897 Volume 12 No. 7 December 2012 ABSTRACT Despite the important contribution of camel milk to food security for pastoralists in Kenya, little is known about the postharvest handling, preservation and processing practices. In this study, existing postharvest handling, preservation and processing practices for camel milk by pastoralists in Isiolo, Kenya were assessed through cross- sectional survey and focus group discussions. A total of 167 camel milk producer households, 50 primary and 50 secondary milk traders were interviewed. Survey findings showed that milking was predominantly handled by herds-boys (45.0%) or male household heads (23.8%) and occasionally by spouses (16.6%), sons (13.9%) and daughters (0.7%). The main types of containers used by both producers and traders to handle milk were plastic jerricans (recycled cooking oil containers), because they were cheap, light and better suited for transport in vehicles. Milk processing was the preserve of women, with fresh camel milk and spontaneously fermented camel milk (suusa) being the main products. Fresh milk was preserved by smoking of milk containers and boiling. Smoking was the predominant practice, and was for extending the shelf life and also imparting a distinct smoky flavour to milk.

  • Bacteriological Quality of Raw Camel Milk Along the Market Value Chain In
    Abera et al. BMC Res Notes (2016) 9:285 DOI 10.1186/s13104-016-2088-1 BMC Research Notes RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Bacteriological quality of raw camel milk along the market value chain in Fafen zone, Ethiopian Somali regional state Tsegalem Abera1*, Yoseph Legesse2, Behar Mummed1 and Befekadu Urga2 Abstract Background: The camel is a multipurpose animal with a huge productive potential. Camel milk is a key food in arid and semi-arid areas of the African and Asian countries. The quality of milk is influenced by different bacteria present in milk. This study was conducted to evaluate total bacterial content in raw camel milk along the market chain in Fafen zone, Ethiopian Somali Regional State. Methods: One hundred twenty-six raw camel milk samples were collected from Gursum (47.1 %) and Babile (52.9 %) districts. The three sampling levels included were udder (14.7 %), milking bucket (29.4 %) and market (55.9 %). Milk samples were analyzed for total bacterial counts (TBC) and coliform counts (CC). Furthermore, major pathogens were isolated and identified. Result: 108 (85.7 %) of raw camel milk samples demonstrated bacterial contamination. The overall mean TBC and CC of contaminated raw camel milk samples was 4.75 0.17 and 4.03 0.26 log CFU/ml, respectively. TBC increased from udder to market level and was higher in Gursum ±compared to Babile± district (P < 0.05). Around 38.9 % of TBCs and 88.2 % CCs in contaminated raw camel milk samples were in the range considered unsafe for human utility. Staphylococcus spp. (89.8 %), Streptococcus spp.

  • Camel Milk Cheese: Optimization of Processing Conditions
    Qadeer et al./Journal of Camelid Science 2015, 8:18-25 http://www.isocard.net/en/journal Camel milk cheese: optimization of processing conditions Zahida Qadeer1, Nuzhat Huma1*, Aysha Sameen1, Tahira Iqbal2 1National Institute of Food Science and Technology and 2Department of Biochemistry, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad 38040, Pakistan Abstract Making cheese from camel milk is considered to be a difficult task. A study was conducted to optimize the processing conditions (temperature, pH, CaCl2 and the addition of buffalo milk) for the production of camel milk cheese (CMC). In the preliminary trials, the heating temperature of 65 C for 30 min was found optimal when considering the cheese yield out of 60-75 °C for 30 min. A range of pH levels (5.5, 5.7, 6.0, 6.3, 6.5) were then trialed in order to determine the optimal level necessary to manufacture cheese with the desired characteristics of acidity, protein, fat, moisture, yield, percentages, coagulation time and texture of cheese. On the basis of composition (protein 16.47%, fat 16.67%, moisture 68.4%), texture (6.7 N) and coagulation time (37.7 min), the cheese manufactured at pH.5.5 was selected from the five treatments. In the next stage, CMC was prepared with the addition of CaCl2 (0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08%) at the chosen pH of 5.5 from the previous study. The conditions containing 0.06% CaCl2 resulted in a higher yield with an improved coagulation time and texture of CMC. In the final step, buffalo milk (0, 10, 20, and 30 %) was mixed with the camel milk in an attempt to produce CMC with improved texture.

    Camel milk: Natural medicine - Boon to dairy industry Rohit Panwar2; Chand Ram Grover 1; Vijay Kumar2; Suman Ranga2 and Narendra Kumar2 1 Principal Scientist; 2PhD Scholars; Dairy Microbiology Division, ICAR-National Dairy Research Institute, Karnal, 132001 (Haryana), India Corresponding Author: Dr. Chand Ram Grover, Principal Scientist, Dairy Microbiology Division, ICAR-National Dairy Research Institute, Karnal, 132001 (Haryana), India Email: [email protected] Introduction: Ayurveda has referred medicinal value of camel milk under the classification of “Dugdha Varga”. The camel has also been mentioned among the animals as miracle of God in the Quran. It is common practice to let camels to eat certain plants in order to use the milk for medicinal purpose. According to FAO statistics, there are 19 million camels population in the world, of which 15 million are in Africa and 4 million in Asia. Out of this estimated world population, 17 million are believed to be one-humped dromedary camels and 2 millions two-humped (Farah et al., 2004). The camel is multi-purpose animal with high productive potential. In the time of global warming, growing deserts and increasing scarcity of food and water, may make camel a potential candidate to overcome some of these problems. The camel is an excellent source of milk under these conditions. Indeed, countries like Afghanistan, Algeria, Ethiopia, Kenya, Iran host large populations of camel and therefore, its milk is an integral part of human diet. Most of the camels are kept by pastoralists in subsistence production systems. They are very reliable milk producers during dry seasons and drought years, especially during milk scarcity from cattle, sheep and goats.
