The aim of the present study was to compare milk for any significant difference in chemical composition between crossbred cows (HFX) and indigenous cows (Deoni), . Milk samples were taken from six Holstein-Friesian crossbred cows and six Deoni cows. Results of investigation showed no significant difference in milk components between Deoni cows and HF crossbred cows. However, in this study Total solids were numerically higher in milk from Deoni cows than HF crossbred cows which resulted primarily from higher milk yield in Holstein-Friesian crossbred cows than Deoni cows, on p>0.1 level. These facts point out that there is no greater advantage in Deoni cow milk with respect to chemical composition ,however, since Deoni cows are indigenous cow breed that produces A1 milk is having more health benefits when compared to A2 milk from HFX cows.
