Abstract
This article scientifically substantiates the role of mare's milk in a balanced diet and benefits for the human body. The mass fraction of proteins and fats, acidity, physico-chemical parameters of mare's milk by seasons were studied.
The purpose of this study was to observe the characteristics of mare's milk during lactation, to study its physico-chemical properties. The second purpose of the study was to study significant differences in milk modifications between two farms: in the Zhambul region of the farm "Sadygul" and in the Almaty region of the farm "Nurkanat".
In this research paper, we conducted a study of the physico-chemical properties of mare's milk during lactation. As a result, it was revealed that the chemical composition of milk is influenced by: breed, lactation stage, age, feeding level, season of the year and animal housing conditions. In addition to these factors, breed and genetics can change the composition of mare's milk, especially protein, fat and lactose levels.
Thus, the purpose of this study was to characterize the chemical composition of the milk of mares of different ages at different stages of lactation. It was found that many factors affect the composition of milk and the concentration of the main organic and inorganic components of milk, which vary greatly during lactation.
