Overview

Examines how different silages affect cheese quality and fatty acids in dairy cows, suggesting improved profiles with alternative crops.

Key Points

  • To investigate the effects of replacing corn silage with sorghum and sorghum-soy silages on the quality and fatty acid composition of Italian raw milk cheese.
  • Five lactating cows were fed three different diets based on varying types of silage over three 21-day periods.
  • Bulk milk was collected to produce semi-hard 'Latteria' cheese after a 60-day ripening.
  • Measurements included cheese yield, physical parameters, and fatty acid profiles.
  • Cheese from sorghum and sorghum-soy silages had higher fat content and better fatty acid profiles compared to corn silage.
  • Physical parameters indicated that the appearance and texture of cheese were significantly improved with alternative silages.
  • Higher levels of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and lower saturated fatty acids (SFA) were found in cheeses made from alternative silages.
