In this study, it was aimed to investigate α -S1-casein and β -lactoglobulin levels and some biochemical and mineral values in raw milk samples obtained from cows, buffaloes, sheep, and goats raised in Samsun. The study material consisted of 40 raw milk taken from goats, cows, sheep and buffaloes after milking in a farm in Samsun province Bafra district. α-S1-casein and β-lactoglobulin levels in milk serum were determined using ELISA test kits. Calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), total cholesterol (TC), and triglyceride (TG) levels were measured using a spectrophotometric autoanalyzer. Sheep milk TP, ALB, GLO, TC levels were significantly higher than other milk samples. It was determined that the highest TP level was in sheep milk, followed by buffalo, goat, and cow milk, respectively. It was determined that the TG level in goat milk was significantly higher than other milk samples (P<0.05), followed by buffalo, sheep, and cow milk (P>0.05). It was determined that sheep milk contains more Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn than other milk samples, and the total mineral content is more prosperous than other milk samples. The mineral content of goat and cow milk was found similar; Zn mineral in cow milk was found slightly higher. α -S1-casein and β -lactoglobulin levels were lower in goat milk samples than other milk samples. It was concluded that α-S1-casein and β-lactoglobulin levels in goat milk were lower than in other milk samples (cow, sheep, and buffalo), and it could be recommended for those with milk allergies.
