Overview

Experimental studies reveal that dietary restriction impacts milk yield and quality in cows, ewes, and goats, indicating species-specific responses.

Key Points

  • This research aims to identify the effects of dietary restriction on milk lipolysis across different ruminant species.
  • Conducted three experimental studies on cows, ewes, and goats under a 2x2 crossover design.
  • Used two treatments: 'unrestricted' feeding and 'restricted' feeding at 65% DMI.
  • Assayed 79 parameters related to milk yield, composition, and blood metabolites.
  • Dietary restriction significantly influences milk yield and quality outcomes in cows, ewes, and goats.
  • Strong treatment × species interaction observed, with variable effects on milk lipolysis and adipose tissue mobilization.
