Mineral, vitamin and fatty acid contents in the milk of dromedaries of the Anxi, Gansu, China were test and compared to others milk from cows, goats and human. Calcium, Magnesium and Iron content in camel milk were highest than others milk. The present results confirm that Vitamin C content in camel milk (33.6–40.03 mg/l) are 3–5 times higher that vitamin C content of cow milk (10.42±5.6 mg/l). The content Vitamin E were similar in camel milk (126.9±26.2 mg/l) and human milk (121.69±15.2 mg/l), and vitamin E in fresh cow milk were highest (161.0±23.7 mg/l). Unsaturated FA in camel milk (65.02g/100g FA) were highest than the cow milk (40.76g/100g), goat milk (40.23g/100g), human milk (58.17g/100g) (p<0.001), and C18:3 in camel milk (5.12±0.21g/100g) was significantly higher than the cow milk (0.38g/100g), goat milk (0.34 g/100g), human milk (2.96g/100g) (p<0.001).
