Abstract
Nowadays growing interest in different types of alternative milks not only because of their nutritional composition and possible use in many aspects of human nutrition. One of them is mare's milk. The analyze the selected properties of Lipizzaner breed mare milk was the aim of this study. The Lipizzaner mares (n=6) were kept under the same conditions and fed the same ration, and they were 5-6 years old. Milk samples were tested for 6 months. The following parameters were evaluated: dry matter, titratable acidity, density, electrical conductivity, pH, and content of fat, calcium, and lactose. On the base of our results, we can state that the average value of titratable acidity was 2.07±0.74 °SH, electrical conductivity 1.61±3.80 mS.cm-1, density 1028.64±3.98 kg.m-3, pH 7.25±0.21, the content of dry matter 9.55±0.22%, fat 0.92±0.26%, lactose 6.71±0.12%, and calcium 105.03±16.14 mg.
