“…For example, OBCFA concentration could be affected by the forage to concentrate ratio [ 6 , 10 ], by the presence of bioactive compounds in the diets [ 11 , 12 ] and by the energy balance of animals [ 5 ]. Among monogastrics, the donkey milk had higher amounts of OBCFA than human milk, partly because of the low ability of human tissues to produce OBCFA [ 9 ], but mainly because the donkey, being herbivorous, is characterized by the abundant activity of intestinal microflora for fiber digestion [ 47 ]. In fact, monogastric herbivores are characterized by a high fermentation activity in the cecum that is responsible for the production of these FA.…”

The aim of the study was to compare odd and branched-chain fatty acids (OBCFA) of milk from sheep, goat, cow, buffalo, donkey, human, and formula milk. Ruminant, monogastric, and human milks have different concentrations of these fatty acids (FA). To highlight the differences on OBCFA, a total of 282 individual milk samples were analyzed by gas chromatography. The OBCFA were found higher in ruminant than non-ruminant milks (p <0.05). Among ruminants, sheep milk had the highest OBCFA (4.5 g/100 g of total FAME), whereases the lowest values were found in formula milk (0.18 g/100 g of total FAME). Regarding individual linear odd-chain FA (linear-OCFA), C11:0 was found higher in donkey milk than others, while sheep and buffalo milks had the greatest concentration of C15:0. Among BCFA, the iso-BCFA were higher than anteiso-BCFA in all considered milks. The isoC17:0 showed the highest concentration in all milks except for donkey and buffalo, which showed higher concentration of isoC16:0 than others. In conclusion, ruminant milks are different in terms of these FA compared to human milk and its substitutes. However, the greatest differences were found with formula milk, suggesting that this product needs the implementation of these FA to be more similar to human milk composition.
