Observational analysis examines fatty acid composition and milk yield in Anatolian Water Buffalo, highlighting its nutritional value.
This study examines the milk yield characteristics and fatty acid composition of Anatolian Water Buffaloes raised by local farmers in Osmaniye province. Water Buffalo milk has a high fat content (6.84%) and protein content (4.55%), with a lactose level of 4.35% and a pH of 6.76. Fatty acid analysis indicates that saturated fatty acids (SFA) dominate, with palmitic acid (35.91%) being the most abundant. Among monounsaturated fatty acids, oleic acid (24.61%) is the highest, while polyunsaturated fatty acids include linoleic (0.52%) and alphalinolenic acid (0.91%) as key components. In conclusion, Water Buffalo milk from Osmaniye is a valuable resource for regional dairy production due to its rich nutritional content.
