<![CDATA[Background: Goat milk has potential for development into value-added milk powder with a longer shelf life. Comparative information on milk powder yield, moisture content, and fat content from Senduro, Peranakan Etawa (PE), and Sapera goats in Lumajang Regency remains limited. Purpose: To evaluate milk powder yield, moisture content, and fat content from these three goat breeds. Methods: This comparative observational study involved nine goats from one farm in Burno Village, Lumajang Regency (three goats per breed). Milk from each goat was dried separately using a Labspray SD-18A spray dryer at an inlet temperature of 180 °C and a feed rate setting of 10%. Feed volumes were 500 mL per sample for PE and Sapera and 300–400 mL for Senduro. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA at a 5% significance level, followed by the least significant difference (LSD) test when significant differences were detected. Results: Milk powder yield differed significantly among groups (P < 0.05), with mean yields of 11.55 ± 2.14% for Senduro, 8.50 ± 0.77% for PE, and 6.49 ± 0.05% for Sapera. Senduro differed significantly from PE and Sapera, whereas PE and Sapera did not differ significantly. Moisture contents were 2.54 ± 0.11%, 2.11 ± 0.77%, and 2.53 ± 0.84% for PE, Senduro, and Sapera, respectively. Corresponding fat contents were 20.80 ± 0.24%, 22.61 ± 9.61%, and 11.38 ± 5.32%. Moisture and fat contents did not differ significantly (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Among the observed goats, Senduro produced the highest yield but was not superior overall. Moisture contents were below the maximum specified in SNI 2970:2015, whereas fat contents were below the minimum requirement for full-cream milk powder. Overall quality compliance remains undetermined. Further studies should measure fresh milk total solids and control for lactation stage.]]>
