Implication

Comparative study reveals differential candidate gene expression under pasture versus pen feeding in Damascus goats, highlighting biomarkers for milk quality and mastitis resistance.

Key Points

Determine the expression profiles of candidate genes associated with mastitis resistance, milk yield, and milk quality in Damascus goats managed under pen- versus pasture-based feeding systems.
Damascus goats were reared under either pen-based or pasture-based feeding management systems.
Milk samples were collected across four lactation intervals (months 1, 3, 5, and 7) to evaluate the relative expression of LTF, BRCA1, POU1F1, IGF-1, PPARγ, and CSN2.
Pasture-fed goats showed significant upregulation of LTF (3.538-fold) and CSN2 (5.436-fold) at month 7 of lactation relative to pen-fed goats.
Pasture rearing was associated with PPARγ downregulation early in lactation (0.399-fold), as well as IGF-1 upregulation at month 3 (2.313-fold) followed by significant downregulation at month 5 (2.332-fold).
LTF, IGF-1, and PPARγ expression patterns were characterized as candidate indicators for mastitis resistance, total lactation yield, and milk fat yield, respectively.
