Abstract: A total of 147 camel milk samples from healthy she-camels (Camelus dromedaries) in different (parity numbers (one to fifth), different breeds and seasons) were randomly collected to investigate the effect of parity on some chemical components of camels milk from intensive and traditional management systems in Butana area. Data obtained were analyzed with SPPS version 21 software using analysis of variance and independent-sample- T. Test. Results revealed that parity had significant effect (P > 0.05) on camel milk components that were collected from intensive management system. Wherein proteins, lactose, free fatty acid (FFA) and solid not fat (SNF) were markedly affected by parity. Parity interaction effects showed significant differences (P > 0.05) between systems in values of protein, lactose, Fat, total solid contents and acidity during second parity up to successive parities. Primiparous seemed to have no significant effect (P > 0.05) on camel milk components that collected from the two management systems. The study concluded that parity had significant effect on some chemical components of camel milk under traditional and intensive management system.
