Fatty acid content, health and risk indices, physicochemical composition, and somatic cell counts of milk from organic and conventional farming systems in tropical south-eastern Mexico

Abstract: Organic agriculture and livestock farming is claimed to promote animal welfare and can offer animal products with better hygienic-sanitary quality, based on principles of health, ecology, fairness, and care. However, no clear advantages of organic milk (OM) versus conventional milk (CM) from tropical conditions are available. The aims of the study were to determine fatty acid profile, health-promoting (HPI) and thrombogenic (TI) indices, physicochemical composition, and somatic cell counts (SCC) of OM and CM i… Show more

“…Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), trans fatty acids (TFA), and omega-3 FAs were significantly higher in organic butters than in conventional butters. For PUFA and omega-3 FAs, this has been described before for conventional and organic milk [25]. The results for grass butters were, again, less obvious which is likely due to its relatively flexible production specifications.…”

“…Delgadillo-Puga also described a significant difference between samples collected in January and June in SFA and MUFA in conventional raw milk and for PUFA in organic raw milk [25]. An increase in PUFA and omega-3 in grass-fed dairy was expected, since these groups of FAs are more abundant in grass than in conventional feed [26].…”

“…oils and meals from oleaginous, would be good option for this purpose (13,28) . The occurrence of these metabolites in rabbit meat may contribute to its shelf life and improved human health as was reported in other animal products (11,(32)(33)(34) . Daily intake recommendation for eicosapentanoic (C20:5) and docosahexanoic (C22:6) acids, which belong to the family n3, is 500 mg to maintain a healthy cardiovascular system in humans.…”

“…The isotopic characteristics of biophilic elements in milk composition, as well as other products of animal origin, largely depend on specific characteristics of the feed [39,40,41,42,43,44]. Consequently, milk from cows, grazing on pastures of a certain geographical region will have unique isotopic composition and elemental profile characteristic to this zone [45].…”
