Summary The bulked milk from a flock of Awassi sheep was analysed in two successive seasons. In the second season a wider range of analyses of samples taken from the time the first few ewes came into milk until almost the end of the production season (minimum and maximum numbers in milk 8 and 199) gave the following average values: specific gravity, 1·0366; titratable acidity, 0·217%; pH, 6·65; fat, 6·88%; protein, 6·18%; lactose, 5·75%; solids-not-fat, 12·99%; ash, 0·928%; CaO, 0·29%; p2O5, 0·32%; CaO in ash, 31·5%; P2O5 in ash, 34·3%. The results are compared with the published compositional figures for sheep's and cow's milks.
