A study on the physical and chemical composition,
properties, and technological qualities of sheep milk was carried out.
Subject of the study was the milk produced during the lactation period of
ewes of the Bulgarian Dairy Synthetic Population bred on the farm of the
Agricultural Institute – Shumen
in 2008. The quality components and the physicochemical properties of the
milk of the BDSP are in keeping with the standards of raw sheep milk
indicating its pronounced suitability for processing dairy products. The
established ratios among the components, representing the nutritive and
technological quality of milk, are within the regulation standards.
