The three milk samples from I 0 selected buffaloes from each of Marathwadi, Murrah, Jaffarabadi and Surti breed are collected and analysed for it's physico-chemical properties. The average values for specific gravity of Marathwadi, Murrah, Jaffarabadi and Surti buffalo milk were 1.031, 1.030, 1.030 and 1.029, respectively. The average values for acidity (% LA) of Marathwadi, Murrah, Jaffarabadi and Surti buffa lo milk were 0.155, 0.158, 0.155 and 0. 157 per cent, respectively. The mean values for pH of Marathwadi, Murrah, Jaffarabadi and Surti buffalo milk were 6.67, 6.77, 6.78 and 6.80, respectively. The differences observed for pH of buffalo milk were significant. The average values for EC for Marathwadi, Murrah, Jaffarabadi and Surti buffalo milk were 3.532, 3.720, 3.785 and 3.751 mmhos, respectively. The differences observed for EC of buffalo milk were significant. The average values for viscosity of Marathwadi, Murrah, Jaffarabadi and Surti buffalo milk were 2.336, 2.218, 2.278 and 2.386 cps respectively. The differences observed for viscosity of buffalo milk were significant. The average values for RI of Marathwadi, Murrah, Jaffarabadi and Surti buffalo milk were 1.343, 1.345, 1.342 and 1.340, respectively. The average values for fat content of Marathwadi, Murrah, Jaffarabadi and Surti buffalo milk were 7.63, 7.37, 7.43 and 8.11 per cent, respectively. The differences observed in fat content of buffalo milk were significant. The average values for protein content of Marathwadi, Murrah, Jaffarabadi and Surti buffalo milk were 3.79, 3.96, 3.85 and 3.88 per cent, respectively. The average values for lactose content of Marathwadi, Murrah, Jaffarabadi and Surti buffalo milk were 4.93, 4.79, 4.82 and 4.84 per cent, respectively. The average values for total solids content of Marathwadi, Murrah, Jaffarabadi and Surti buffalo milk were 17.28, 16.97, 16.92 and 17.78 per cent, respectively. The differences observed in total solids content of buffalo milk were significant. The average values for SNF content of Marathwadi, Murrah, Jaffarabadi and Surti buffalo milk were 9.69, 9.45, 9.50 and 9.66 per cent, respectively. The average values for ash content of Marathwadi, Murrah, Jaffarabadi and Surti buffalo milk were 0.94, 0.82, 0.84 and 0.93 per cent, respectively. From the present studies it can be concluded that the Marathwadi buffalo milk has higher average specific gravity, SNF, lactose and ash content than Murrah, Jaffarabadi and Slliti buffalo milk. The Jaffarabadi buffalo milk was high in EC than the Marathwadi, Murrah and Surti buffalo milk. The Surti buffalo milk was high in viscosity, pH and content of fat and total solids than Marathwadi, Murrah and Jaffarabadi buffalo milk. The Murrah buffalo milk was higher average RI, acidity and protein content than Marathwadi, Jaffarabadi and Surti buffalo milk. Finally the physico-chemical properties of Marathwadi, Murrah, Jaffarabadi and Surti buffalo milk not differ significantly under the condition of Marathwada region in respect of it's breed averages.ennullThesis
