				Abstract 
 
				
				
				Aim: 
				
				The study was undertaken to find out the gross composition, 
				nitrogen distribution, and selected mineral content in Surti 
				goat milk, and its comparison was made between cow and buffalo 
				milk. 
				
				
				Materials and Methods: 
				
				Goat milk samples of Surti breed and buffalo milk samples were 
				collected during the period from July to January 2014 at 
				Reproductive Biology Research Unit, Anand Agricultural 
				University (AAU), Anand. Cow milk samples of Kankrej breed were 
				collected from Livestock Research Station, AAU, Anand. Samples 
				were analyzed for gross composition such as total solids (TS), 
				fat, solid not fat (SNF), protein, lactose, and ash. Samples 
				were also analyzed for nitrogen distribution such as total 
				nitrogen (TN), non-casein nitrogen (NCN), non-protein nitrogen (NPN), 
				and selected minerals content such as calcium, magnesium, 
				phosphorous, and chloride. Total five replications were carried 
				out. 
				
				
				Results: 
				
				Goat milk had the lowest TS, fat, protein, and lactose content 
				among all three types of milk studied in the 
				presentinvestigation. On the other hand, the highest TS, fat, 
				protein, and lactose content were found in buffalo milk. Buffalo 
				milk had the highest SNF, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorous 
				content, which was followed by goat milk and lowest in cow milk. 
				The SNF, protein, TN, and calcium content of goat milk were 
				statistically non-significant (p<0.05) with cow milk. The 
				lactose content of goat milk was significantly lower (p>0.05) 
				than that of the cow milk as well as buffalo milk. The goat milk 
				had the highest ash and NCN content, which were followed by 
				buffalo milk and lowest in cow milk. However,the differences in 
				ash, NPN, and phosphorous content of three types of milk 
				studied, 
				
				viz., 
				goat milk, cow milk, and buffalo milk were found statistically 
				non-significant (p<0.05). The NCN content of buffalo milk was 
				statistically non-significant(p<0.05) with cow milk as well as 
				goat milk. The NCN and magnesium content of goat milk were 
				significantly higher (p>0.05) than that of the cow milk. The 
				magnesium content of goat milk was statistically non-significant 
				(p<0.05) with buffalo milk. The chloride content of goat milk 
				was significantly higher (p>0.05) than that of the buffalo milk 
				as well as cow milk. 
				
				
				Conclusion: 
				
				It can be concluded from the study that the goat milk has lower 
				TS, fat, lactose, protein content, TN aswell as NPN but higher 
				ash and NCN content compared to cow milk and buffalo milk. The 
				goat milk has lower calcium, phosphorous compared to buffalo 
				milk while it has higher calcium, phosphorous compared to cow 
				milk, and it has higher magnesium, chloride content compared to 
				cow milk and buffalo milk.
