Twenty lactating Carpatina goats were randomly allocated to four treatment groups with different levels of
concentrates on composition of Carpatina goat milk. Goats in group A were confined and fed alfalfa hay with 1.32
kg/day of concentrate mixture. Group B, C and D were rotationally grazed and received 1.32, 0.66 and 0 Kg/day of
concentrate supplementation, respectively. The results obtained from this experiment indicated that goats fed with
high concentrate level and pasture grazing (Group B and C) produced milk with significantly higher contents of fat,
protein, lactose and total solids than goats kept on pasture alone (Group D) or under a confined feeding system with
concentrate and hays (Group A ). Grazing significantly increased the concentration of saturated and polyunsaturated
fatty acids, such as -linolenic acid 0.49% (recorded from Group B). The milk from Group A (alfalfa hay and high
concentrate) had an -linolenic acid content of 0.38%.
