Goat population world-wide is increasing, and the dairy goat sector developing accordingly. Although new technology applied to industry being introduced slowly because weight of traditional subsector in sector, considerable advances have been made last decade. Present review focuses on emerging topics sector. Research development products are reviewed, including research use milk infant formula. The alternatives brine, production skimmed cheeses different modified atmosphere packaging also...
Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis contributes to the sustainability of soil-plant system. A field experiment was conducted examine effect arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) on quantitative and qualitative performance in forage maize (Zea mays L.). Within project Sviluppo di modelli zootecnici ai fini della sostenibilità (SOS-ZOOT) a trial at experimental farm Agricultural Research Council Bella (PZ), located Basilicata region (Southern Italy) 360 m asl, characterised by an annual rainfall...
Some studies have shown that intensification improves the sustainability of bovine milk; however, this matter is controversial. The present study, performed in Southern Italy, Basilicata region, focuses on nine specialized dairy farms Marmo Platano internal area. These are characterized by a “low profile”, and we estimated system via life-cycle assessment using specific software. We chose 1 kg refrigerated raw milk as functional unit four impact categories: global warming potential,...
The aim of this study, carried out within the NOVOROD project (PSR Campania 2007-2013 Misura 124 HC), was to evaluate aromatic profile milk and dairy products cows supplemented with destoned olive cake (DOC). Two techniques for headspace aroma analysis: thermal desorption by gas chromatography a mass selective (GC/MS) detector electronic nose were compared. trial performed into cow farm. Ten allotted two homogenous groups: control experimental. Animals received same diet, while in...
The literature indicates that grazing small ruminants, when adequately managed, contributes to grassland biodiversity maintenance. On the other hand, milk and cheese from animals show higher nutritional aromatic quality than those stall-fed animals. relationship between two issues has rarely been addressed. This article provides information for a discussion of this relationship. First, case studies are reported. Local breeds ruminants fed by on pastures within Special Area Conservation...
This study aimed to recover the phenols from olive oil mill wastewater, a major pollutant of industry, by using spray-drying technology produce new feed with nutraceutical value for animal supplementation and evaluate its effect on productivity nutritional quality ewe milk. Forty-five Sarda ewes in late lactation (150 ± 2 d) homogeneous live weight (52 1.5 kg) were randomly allotted into three groups fed dietary treatments containing increasing levels polyphenols: 0% (C), 0.1% (T0.1), 0.2%...
The present paper aims at providing an evaluation of the effectiveness application GAEC standard 4.6 (ex 4.1c) cross compliance in Italian grazing system, light recent bibliography. Given changes occurred last decades and effects rule, latter appears broadly positive but susceptible adjustments. Nowadays system is no longer characterized by a problem overstocking, which led legislator, past, to identify enforce limit 4 LU/Ha as maximum stocking rate. probably opposite: too low rate absence...
Canestrato Pugliese is an Italian uncooked hard cheese made by the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status. In past, it was manufactured with milk from local sheep breeds (Altamurana and Leccese) while in recent years has almost entirely been non-native (Sarda Comisana). The aim study to investigate breed effect on quality comparing two native Comisana) breeds. experiment carried out at experimental farm CREA-ZOE (Apulia region, Southern Italy) using a flock set-up four breeds:...
Aim of the trial was to evaluate effect fresh single-species herbage on VOC and sensory properties cheese, in order individuate specific descriptors linked use pureness. Two groups Siriana housed goats were fed alternately with 2 grasses: Avena sativa (AS) Lolium perenne (LP) legumes: Medicago (MS) Trifolium incarnatum (TI) The milk processed as Caciotta cheese ripened for 20 days. analyses (by GC-MS) showed highest total content AS cheeses (226.55a.u.), where alcohols dominant class; lowest...
The paper presents the main results of monitoring on effectiveness cross-compliance Standard 4.1 ‘Permanent pasture protection: lett. b, c’ carried out in two case studies within project MO.NA.CO. Soil, botanical, productive and economic (competitiveness gap) parameters have been monitored. In short term, showed its soil quality, biomass productivity competitiveness gap both studies. Botanical differing results, therefore their generalization is not applicable to heterogeneity land...
The paper presents the main results of monitoring on effectiveness cross compliance Standard 4.6 ‘Minimum livestock stocking rates and/or appropriate regimes’ carried out in two case studies within project MO.NA.CO: sheep grazing medium-rich pastures southern Apennines and plain Sardinia, Italy. involved aspects related to soil, flora, economics (competitiveness differential). study showed, although short term, that minimum rate 0.2 LU/ha/year was not effective and, conversely, maximum...
