Fat globule size distribution in milk of a German buffalo herd

Renate Schafberg, Robert Schmidt, Manfred Thiele, Hermann H. Swalve

Abstract

The volume-surface average diameter of fat globules are larger in buffalo milk than in cow milk and the volume frequency distribution in buffalo milk is more balanced. The globule size was affected by animal, stage of lactation, and test day. An interesting contrast compared to cow milk is the negative correlation between diurnal fat yield and globule size.
