Large Animal Review 2009; 15: 165-174 165 Produzione e qualità del latte in capre autoctone allevate estensivamente nella regione Molise j D. CASAMASSIMA, M. PALAZZO, T. PRESUTTI, R. PIZZO Department of Animal, Vegetal and Environmental Sciences, University of Molise, Italy RIASSUNTO La ricerca ha riguardato la valutazione quanti-qualitativa di latte, con particolare riferimento alla composizione acidica e ad al- cune molecole ad attività bionutrizionale, la lattoferrina (LF) ed il contenuto in isomeri coniugati dell’acido linoleico (CLA), nel latte di due popolazioni autoctone molisane a forte rischio di estinzione, la capra di Montefalcone e la capra Valfortorina. La sperimentazione, della durata di 7 mesi, è stata condotta su 60 capre in lattazione appartenenti ai due tipi genetici caprini, ed ha riguardato la determinazione, ad intervalli mensili, della produzione e qualità del latte, della composizione acidica, del contenuto in CLA (cis9, trans11 e trans10, cis12) e della lattoferrina. La produzione del latte, nell’intera prova, è stata di 275,6 kg e 258,3 kg per la capra di Montefalcone e Valfortorina rispettivamente. La qualità del latte, relativamente ad alcuni suoi com- ponenti, si è attestata su valori di 4,46 e 3,97% per il contenuto in grassi e su valori del 3,64 e 3,59% per il contenuto in pro- teine rispettivamente nei due gruppi etnici. Nel corso della prova, i PUFA ed i MUFA sono aumentati statisticamente (P<0,001), in entrambi i tipi genetici, mentre gli SFA sono diminuiti (P<0,001).

To fulfill these requirements, this investigation aimed to implement feeding strategies to reduce the cost and energy level of diets for dairy breed lambs slaughtered at an older age than the light lambs, applying a feed restriction at 75% and/or including an inexpensive and local byproduct, such as durum wheat bran (DWB), as a fiber source. The proposed feeding plans were suitable to increase the slaughter age of lambs up to 120 days and produce lean carcasses that, compared to those from 90-day-old lambs, were heavier and with improved meat quality in terms of major water retention and tenderness.

  • The Climatic and Genetic Heritage of Italian Goat Breeds with Genomic
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The climatic and genetic heritage of Italian goat breeds with genomic SNP data Matteo Cortellari 1,16, Mario Barbato2,16, Andrea Talenti1,3*, Arianna Bionda1, Antonello Carta4, Roberta Ciampolini5, Elena Ciani6, Alessandra Crisà7, Stefano Frattini1, Emiliano Lasagna8, Donata Marletta9, Salvatore Mastrangelo10, Alessio Negro1, Ettore Randi11, Francesca M. Sarti8, Stefano Sartore12, Dominga Soglia12, Luigi Liotta13, Alessandra Stella14, Paolo Ajmone‑Marsan2, Fabio Pilla15, Licia Colli2 & Paola Crepaldi1 Local adaptation of animals to the environment can abruptly become a burden when faced with rapid climatic changes such as those foreseen for the Italian peninsula over the next 70 years. Our study investigates the genetic structure of the Italian goat populations and links it with the environment and how genetics might evolve over the next 50 years. We used one of the largest national datasets including > 1000 goats from 33 populations across the Italian peninsula collected by the Italian Goat Consortium and genotyped with over 50 k markers. Our results showed that Italian goats can be discriminated in three groups refective of the Italian geography and its geo‑political situation preceding the country unifcation around two centuries ago. We leveraged the remarkable genetic and geographical diversity of the Italian goat populations and performed landscape genomics analysis to disentangle the relationship between genotype and environment, fnding 64 SNPs intercepting genomic regions linked to growth, circadian rhythm, fertility, and infammatory response. Lastly, we calculated the hypothetical future genotypic frequencies of the most relevant SNPs identifed through landscape genomics to evaluate their long‑term efect on the genetic structure of the Italian goat populations.
