When goats from typically dry areas, such as the
Spanish Murciano-Granadina breed, were fed a relatively
high-forage diet, adding a reasonable dose of SBO
increased the fat and energy contents of the diet and
allowed the production of enriched fat, CLA, and TVA
in milk when compared with goats fed a non-fat-supplemented
diet. No negative effects on DMI, milk yield,
and milk protein content were observed, but milk CNcontent and yield were reduced. Feeding SBO could be a
valuable tool for farmers of dairy goats under intensive
feeding systems to produce milk and dairy products
enriched in monounsaturated FA, PUFA, CLA, and
TVA, which are considered healthier for human consumers.
