Abstract
Milk composition in Awassi sheep was determined in relation to time of milking, stage of lactation and age of ewe. About 80 ewes of the main flock of the Kraim Centre, were used. Fat, total solids and solids not fat proportions were not significantly affected by age of ewe, but they increased as stage of lactation advanced. With equal intervals of milking of 12 h, milk fat and total solids proportions were higher in the evening milk than in the morning milk although no differences between the morning and evening in the quantity of milk obtained were observed.
