Variación individual en la intensidad del síndrome de baja grasa en la leche de ovejas y cabrasrelación con el rendimiento productivo, el perfil lipídico de la leche y los procesos de fermentación y biohidrogenación ruminal

Abstract

Supplementation of dairy ewe diet with marine lipids can modulate the fatty acid (FA) profile of milk and increase the content of certain biactive lipids that are potencially healthy for consumers. However, it causes the milk fat depression syndrome (MFD), which is characterized by an inhibition of fat synthesis in the mammary gland. For a long time, it was thought that cows were susceptible to MFD, whereas goats and sheep were tolerant, but it was later shown that caprine and ovine species, as well as bovine, are also susceptible to suffer this syndrome when their diet is supplemented with marine lipids.
