“…Besides these findings, it is still not clear how the effects of ω-3 and ω-6 PUFA in the diets fed during gestation and lactation may be transmitted from the mother to the offspring. The dietary supplementation of ω-3 PUFA is known to induce changes in the milk fatty acid composition in several mammals, including pigs (YIN et al, 2017;NGUYEN et al, 2020), cows (MOALLEM, 2018;PALMQUIST, 2009), andhumans (MAZURIER et al, 2017;BÜYÜKUSLU et al, 2018). The use of ω-3 PUFA enriched diets has also been associated with an overall reduction in milk fat percentage of dairy cows (MOALLEM, 2018;MUSTAFA et al, 2003;DONOVAN et al, 2000), although no changes in milk protein (MOALLEM, 2018;MUSTAFA et al, 2003;AKRAIM et al, 2007) or milk lactose (DONOVAN et al, 2000;MOALLEM et al, 2013;GONTHIER et al, 2005) percentages have been found, and reports on the milk EV fraction were unavailable until now.…”
