| Abstract The research was conducted in Omdurman, Bahri, and Khartoum using a semi-intensive system from November 2020 to January 2021. The she-camels were given two kilograms of supplementary feed, Total Mixed Ration (TMR) containing 17% crude protein (CP) and 12% metabolism energy (ME) in group feeding. They were allowed to graze for seven hours a day and rest for an hour inside the gates. The study investigated the composition and milk output of 120 she-camels, focusing on acidity, pH, total solids, protein, fat, moisture, ash, and density, to determine the impact of daily milking frequency on yield and components. The findings revealed that the Bahri area had the highest moisture value (87.88%), followed by the Khartoum area (87.75%), and Omdurman area (87.39%). The highest total solid value was 12.40% in Khartoum, followed by Bahri (11.57%) and the lowest value was in Omdurman (11.53%). The highest pH value was 5.46 in Khartoum, followed by Bahri (4.53%), and the lowest value was 4.53 in Omdurman. The highest protein value was 3.90% in Khartoum, followed by Bahri (3.82%), and the lowest value was 3.46% in Omdurman. The highest density value was 1.03% in Khartoum, and the same value was observed for Bahri and Omdurman (1.02%). The highest acidity value was 0.38% in Omdurman, followed by Bahri (0.38%), and the lowest value was 0.28% in Khartoum. The highest fat value was 3.91% in Bahri, followed by Khartoum (3.63%), and the lowest value was 3.43% in Omdurman. The highest ash value was 0.67% in Khartoum, followed by Omdurman (0.65%), and the lowest value was 0.60% in Bahri. | ||
