Abstract: Goat is universally recognized as "Poor man’s cow’’. It is a very versatile animal because of short generation interval, browsing habit, low investment, and high rate of prolificacy. Milk is the complete and first food of mammals which provides energy and nutrients needed for the proper growth and development. Goat milk is superior in nutrients and is having better digestibility, alkalinity, buffering capacity and certain therapeutic values. The purpose of this research study is to analyze the presence of major and minor minerals in fresh Pantja goat milk. Atomic absorption spectroscopy was used in the analysis of minerals. The overall average minerals (mg/L) content of Pantja goat milk i.e. Calcium 893.06; Magnesium 114.78; Phosphorus 1122.26; Potassium 1168.49; Sodium 635.35; Zinc 2.36; Manganese 0.137; Selenium 0.013 and Iron 0.50, respectively.
