Milk has been an issue of public health concern due to unhealthy fats. This study investigated changes in milk fatty acids (FA) in relation to blood metabolites with advancing age and lactation stage in dairy buffaloes. A total of 12 dairy buffaloes were studied for six weeks in Peshawar. The serum glucose concentration averaged 59.02 mg/dl and triglyceride were 54.63 mg/dl. Glucose and triglyceride concentration was a bit high in older animals. Saturated FAs (SFAs) were averaged 70.41 g/100g. C14:1, C16:1 and C18:3 were significantly (P

Milk composition is affected by feed intake and physiological status of animals. Physiological status, in turn, is affected by environment. Milk composition and quality are important characteristics that determine the nutritive value and consumer acceptability. Three studies were conducted to investigate relationship of lactation stage and body condition with milk yield and composition with special reference to fatty acids in crossbred dairy cows and buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) under tropical conditions. Nili-Ravi dairy buffaloes produce milk, with the highest concentration of...
