A Comprehensive Analysis of Macronutrients, Micronutrients, and Bioactive Compounds in Gir Gai Milk from Sai Nath University

The Gir Gai, a distinguished breed of Zebu cattle, are scientifically identified as Bos primigenius indicus in India, renowned for their adaptability to harsh climates, offer a unique milk source with exceptional nutritional and pharmacological properties. This study comprehensively analyzed the macronutrient, micronutrient, and bioactive components of Gir Gai milk obtained from Sai Nath University. Results revealed a rich profile of essential nutrients, including proteins, fats, vitamins (A, D, B2, B12), and minerals (calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, zinc). Moreover, the milk exhibited a strong immune-enhancing profile, characterized by high levels of immunoglobulins and antimicrobial enzymes. These findings highlight the potential of zebu cattle milk as a valuable dietary resource with significant health benefits. Further research is warranted to explore the specific mechanisms underlying its nutritional and pharmacological properties and to evaluate its potential applications in human nutrition and wellness.
