Abstract In this research communication we describe the composition of fatty acids (FA) present in the milk of the Nordestina donkey breed, and how they differ during lactation. Milk samples were taken from 24 multiparous lactating Nordestina donkeys that grazed the Caatinga, comprising 5 animals at each of around 30, 60 and 90 d in milk (DIM) and a further 9 animals ranging from 120 to 180 DIM. The milk fat content was analysed by mid infrared spectroscopy and the FA profile by gas chromatography. The milk fat percentage ranged from 0.45 to 0.61%. The main FA found in milk were 16:0 and 18:1c9. These did not differ among DIM classes and comprised 23% and 25% of total FA. Notably, the α-Linolenic acid (18:3 n-3) was the third most abundant FA and differed (P < 0.05) with DIM, being lowest in the 30 and 60 DIM samples (around 10.7% of total FA) and highest in the 60 and 90 DIM classes (around 14.6% of total FA). The low-fat content and the FA profile of the donkey milk gives it potential as a functional ingredient, which could help to preserve the commercial viability of the Nordestina donkey breed.

The Relationship

The past few years have seen the development in Great Britain of the ‘contemporary comparison’ method for evaluating progeny tests of dairy sires (Macarthur, 1954; Robertson, Stewart and Ashton 1956). The final overall figure attached to a sire is the mean difference between the yield of his daughters and that of other heifers milking in the same herd in the same year, with due regard for the numbers of animals in the two groups. Although it has some imperfections in special cases, this is probably the most informative simple method of evaluating a sire for yield and, fortunately, one which could be easily integrated with the existing recording system. The method has been turned into a simple routine in the Bureau of Records of the Milk Marketing Board and several thousand bulls have now been evaluated. In this paper, we shall be mostly concerned to use this material to investigate the heritabilities of milk yield and fat content and the relationship between the two in the different breeds. The information that we shall use consists, for each bull, of the mean contemporary comparison, with its effective ‘weight’, and the average fat percentage of the daughters. Before we deal with the observed results, we should go into rather more detail into the nature of these two figures and into the factors affecting them.

1. The administration of 0·5–1·5 kg. sodium acetate to cows in which the milk fat percentage had been reduced by diets low in hay and high in concentrates usually brought about an appreciable improvement in fat percentage. The extent of the response varied from slight to complete. The Reichert value of the milk fat fell with diets low in hay, but was raised by administration of acetate.2. The daily administration of 500 g. sodium acetate to cows receiving diets containing normal levels of hay and concentrates according to their milk yields did not affect the milk fat content.3. The daily administration of 414 g. sodium propionate did not restore fat percentages lowered by the diets low in hay. Butyrate appeared, in a test with one cow, to possess the restorative properties of acetate.4. With diets containing either 50 lb. silage as the sole roughage or 60 lb. fodder beet and only 6 lb. hay, fat percentages were the same as with a normal diet containing 16 lb. hay.

1. Four comparable groups of Shorthorn cows were used for an investigation of the effects of various amounts of hay, given with concentrates, on the fat content and yield of milk.2. During the initial and final control periods all the cows received 16 lb. hay daily and about 4 lb. of a balanced concentrate mixture (flaked maize 50%, weatings 35% and decorticated groundnut cake 15%) per 10 lb. of milk produced. During the experimentaltreatment period of 7 weeks the groups received 12, 8 or 4 lb. hay, or 8 lb. coarsely ground hay, per cow daily respectively, with sufficient of a low protein concentrate to compensate for the reduction in hay, and the balanced mixture as in the control periods.3. The change from 16 to 12 lb. hay did not affect the fat content of the milk, a small decline being attributable to the advance in stage of lactation, but the mean values for the last 2 weeks of treatment, adjusted for the differences in the initial control period, showed that the milk fat percentage for the groups receiving 8 and 4 lb. hay and 8 lb. ground hay had fallen by 1·16,1·12 and 1·72 respectively by comparison with that for the 12 lb. hay group.4. A group of Friesian cows was included in the experiment, and received 4 lb. hay during the treatment period. The fall in the fat content of their milk was greater, but not significantly different from, that observed with the corresponding group of Shorthorn cows.5. In the treatment period the milk yields tended to decline more rapidly than in the control periods, and this taken in conjunction with the falls in fat content was reflected in considerable falls in the yield of milk fat, ranging from 28·4 to 55·2% with diets containing less than 12 lb. hay. Both the fat percentage and fat yields recovered in the final control period.

SummaryThe homogenization of milk and cream with a piston-type homogenizer has been studied. An examination has been made of the influences upon the mean fat globule diameters of changes in milk fat content, flow rate and homogenization temperature. The results are discussed in terms of the variations in the parameters q and P0 of the empirical equation d = (P0/P)q relating the globule diameter d to applied pressure P.

Lactating Cows

Three series of digestion trials, involving a total of 20 lactating cows, were conducted to compare the digestibility and rate of passage of hay ground to various degrees of fineness, with that of unground hay.Grinding the hay in a ration composed of two parts hay and one part concentrate by weight produced an earlier initial excretion of hay residues in all cows. Excretion of finely ground hay was also more rapid than unground hay throughout the period. The change in excretion time due to grinding was statistically significant.The most marked effect on digestibility was the highly significant decline (P < 0.01) in digestibility of fibre and/or cellulose as a result of grinding hay. This was mainly responsible for the highly significant decrease (P < 0.01) in dry matter digestion. Grinding also significantly lowered (P < 0.05) the digestibility of ether extract in trials of series II and of protein and N.F.E. in trials of series III.A relationship was established between rate of passage of hay and digestibility of the total ration. The finer the hay was ground, the greater was the depression in digestibility of the total ration and the faster the rate of excretion. The large depression in the digestibility of the cell wall constituents was associated with a marked decrease in milk fat percentage.

1. The coefficient of variation of lactation milk yield was approximately 25% for all age groups. That for lactation milk-fat percentage approximately 10% and that for lactation solids-not-fat percentage only 3%. The last two coefficients tended to increase with the age of the cow.2. Lactation milk yield was least with first calvers and rose to a maximum for sixth calvers. Milk quality was highest with first calvers.3. No tendency to vary with the season of calving could be found for any lactation record of any age group.4. During the first years of the herd's existence there was a small negative correlation between lactation milk yield and lactation milk-fat percentage. This has disappeared in more recent years.5. There was no correlation between lactation milk yield and lactation solids-not-fat percentage.6. There was a small (r = +0·40 approximately) positive correlation between lactation milk-fat percentage and lactation solids-not-fat percentage.

A meta-analysis was conducted to analyze the effects of different dietary vegetable sources rich in unsaturated FA (UFA) on sheep cheese FA profile. This study also quantified the overall effect of feeding sheep with vegetable sources rich in UFA (linseed, flaxseed, sunflower seed, canola, olive oil, bran oil, and olive cake), on milk yield (MY) and milk composition. A literature search was conducted to identify papers published from 2000 to 2019. Effect size for all parameters was calculated as standardized mean difference. Heterogeneity was determined using I2 statistic, while meta-regression was used to examine factors influencing heterogeneity. Effect size was not significant for MY, milk fat percentage (MFP), and milk protein percentage (MPP). Dietary inclusion of vegetable sources rich in UFA decreased the effect size for C12:0, C14:0, and C16:0 and increased the effect size for C18:0, C18:1 t-11, C18:1 c-9, C18:2 c-9, t-11, C18:2 n-6, and C18:3 n-3. Heterogeneity was significant for MY, MFP, MPP, and overall cheese FA profile. Meta-regression revealed days in milk as a contributing factor to the heterogeneity observed in MFP and MPP. Meta-regression showed that ripening time is one of the factors affecting cheese FA profile heterogeneity while the type of feeding system(preserved roughages vs. pasture) had no effect on heterogeneity. Overall, inclusion of dietary vegetable sources rich in UFA in sheep diets would be an effective nutritional strategy to decrease saturated FA and increase polyunsaturated FA contents in cheeses without detrimental effects on MY, MFF, and MPP.

During the twelve years from 1935 to 1946 the type of foods given to sixty-one Dairy Shorthorn first calvers during the months of February and March changed so that the dry-matter intake of the cows rose and the dietary fat fell, but there was little change in the Protein and Starch equivalent they received.Milk yield varied directly with the amount of fat and starch equivalent in the diet and inversely with the dry matter.The solids-not-fat percentage of milk varied directly with the amount of starch equivalent, and inversely with the dry matter content, of the diet.The milk-fat percentage was not influenced by the foods given.It was shown that the fall in the level of solids-not-fat in the milk was largely due to the increase in the dry matter intake of the cows.

Cla Isomers

Cis9,trans11 (c9,t11)-18: 2 andtrans10,cis12 (t10,c12)-18: 2 are the major conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) isomers in dietary supplements which reduce milk fat content in nursing women. The present study evaluated the effects of each CLA isomer or vaccenic acid on body composition and tissue fatty acids during lactation in mice. Dams were fed 30 g rapeseed oil (control)/kg diet or 20 g control plus 10 g 18: 0,trans11–18: 1 (t11–18: 1),c9,t11–18: 2, ort10,c12–18: 2. Dietaryt10,c12–18: 2 reduced food intake by 18 % and carcass fat weight of the dams by 49 % compared with the other treatments. Milk fat percentage ranked by treatment was 18: 0>t11–18: 1=c9,t11–18: 2>t10,c12–18: 2. The sum of saturated 12: 0 to 16: 0 in milk fat was lower whenc9,t11–18: 2 was fed compared with the control, 18: 0, ort11–18: 1 treatments. Dietaryt10,c12–18: 2 caused further reductions in milk fat 12: 0 to 16: 0. The proportion of CLA isomers was 3-fold greater in milk fat than in the carcasses of the dams. The pups nursing from the dams fedt10,c12–18: 2 had the lowest body weights and carcass fat, protein, and ash contents. Nursing from the dams fedc9,t11–18: 2 also resulted in lower carcass fat compared with the 18: 0 ort11–18: 1 treatments. The ratios ofcis9–16: 1:16: 0 orcis9–18: 1:18: 0, proxies for Δ9-desaturase activity, were markedly lower in the carcasses of the dams and pups fedt10,c12–18: 2. The ratio of 20: 4n-6:18: 2n-6, a proxy for Δ6- and Δ5-desaturase and elongase activity, in the liver of the dams and pups fedt10,c12–18: 2 also was lower. Dietaryt11–18: 1 enhanced the content ofc9,t11–18: 2 in milk fat and carcasses. As in previous studies, the reduction in food intake byt10,c12–18: 2 could not entirely account for the marked decrease in carcass fat content and milk fat concentration.T10,c12–18: 2 probably had a negative effect on Δ9-desaturase and mammaryde novofatty acid synthesis. Although these effects need to be confirmed in lactating women, the results suggest that the consumption of supplements containingt10,c12–18: 2 should be avoided during the nursing period.
