Quality and fatty acid profile of the milk of indigenous goats subjected to different local diets in Tunisian arid lands

Abstract: The study tested the hypothesis that certain pastoral forages and olive by-products, available in arid areas, may positively influence fatty acid composition and physicochemical properties of goat's milk. Thirty indigenous goats (body weight = 25.2 kg; age = 4.1 years) were allocated to three groups. During 60 days, the goats received ad libitum either dried olive leaves + Stipa tenacissima (group OL), khortane grass hay (group Ko) or oat hay (control diet, group OH). Milk samples were collected and analysed f… Show more

“…The calculated values for the milk FA groups, ω-6/ω-3 ratio, and atherogenicity index are shown in Table 2. Milk FA groups during all weeks of the suckling and milking periods decreased in the order of SFA>MUFA>PUFA, which is in agreement with other studies in sheep (Mierlita et al, 2011a,b;Sinanoglou et al, 2015) and goats (Ayeb et al, 2015;Kuchtík et al, 2015). There were no differences in milk fat composition, in either SFA or in UFA groups during the suckling and milking periods.…”

“…Generally, the average vaccenic acid values during suckling and milking periods were 0.94 and 1.21%, respectively. These values in Najdi milk fat were lower than those reported by several studies on sheep (3.6-7%) (Bouattour et al, 2007;Mierlita et al, 2011a b) and dromedary camel (2.8%) (Ayadi & Casals, 2009), but were comparable with those mentioned for Tunisian goats (0.61%) (Ayeb et al, 2015) and cows (1.4-1.8%) (Ellis et al, 2006;Wang et al, 2013). The α-linolenic acid (C18:39c,12c,15c), which is a member of the ω-3 FA group, is primarily of dietary origin, and its concentration in milk depends on its amount in the rumen (De La Fuente et al, 2009).…”

“…For lactose milk content, no differences were observed (P > 0.05) among the treatments; Luna et al (2008) reported differences in goat milk when the diets were supplemented with whole linseed (1.84%) and sunflower oil (0.81%) compared with the control diet. Ayeb et al (2016) found no differences in the lactose content of goat milk with the inclusion of dry olive leaves in the diet. The TS in the diet were similar (P > 0.05) among treatments (12 ± 0.12 g/100); Ayeb et al (2016) observed an increase of the TS when dry olive leaves were included in the diet.…”

“…For lactose content in milk, no differences were observed among treatments ( p > 0.05); however, Luna et al [ 49 ] reported differences in goat milk lactose when the diets were supplemented with whole linseed (1.84% DM) and sunflower oil (0.81% DM). Ayeb et al [ 50 ] found no differences in the lactose content of goat milk when animals were fed dry olive leaves ad libitum. These authors reported an increase of the total solids when dry olive leaves were included in the diet.…”
