The results have shown that copper deficiency have an effect on the milk constituents where all milk samples collected from ewes suffering from copper deficiency had significantly (p<0.01) lower percentages of fat (5.70%) ,protein(3.0%), lactose (3.4%) and specific gravity (1.0338) than those collected from healthy ewes that had (7.62%),(4.0%),(4.07%) and (1.0369) respectively. Data revealed that there was a significant (p<0.01) increase in the percentage of moisture (87%) and non significant (p>0.05) increase in the percentage of chloride (0.0921%) in the milk samples collected from ewes suffering from copper deficiency than healthy ones that had (83%) and (0.0858%) respectively.
