Milk composition and feeding in the Italian dairy sheep / Pulina, Giuseppe; Macciotta, Nicolò Pietro Paolo; Nudda, Anna. - 4:Suppl. 1(2005), pp. 5-14.
Abstract:
Milk production represents a relevant quota of the energy consumption of the dairy ewe. Studies on relationships among
level of production, milk composition and metabolic aspects are the first fundamental step in the development of a feeding
system aimed at satisfying nutritive requirements of the animals. This paper reviews the knowledge about the milk
composition of main Italian dairy sheep breeds, the relationship among secretion kinetics of milk and protein and productive
level of animals, the algorithms used for estimating fat (6.5%) and protein (5.8%) corrected milk yield, the
evolution over time of milk production during lactation and the relationships between feeding and milk composition.
