The objective of the study was to assess the effect of fresh bergamot pulp in lactating goat diets to determine its effects on milk and suckling kid fatty acid composition. Eighteen pregnant does were randomly assigned to two groups of two different diets: alfalfa hay (1 kg/head/day), supplemented with commercial concentrate (1 kg/head/day–Control diet) or the same concetrate (700 g/head/day) supplemented with fresh bergamot pulp (2 kg/head/day–FBP diet). Kids were reared in individual pens and fed on their mother’s milk. At 45 days of age, kids were slaughtered. Rumenic acid was higher in milk and in meat from animals from FBP group than Control one (P < 0.001). Total n-3 PUFA were higher (P < 0.01) in FBP kids as a result of the higher level (P < 0.01) of α-linolenic acid compared to Control kids. Linoleic and arachidonic acids were higher (P < 0.001 and P < 0.05, respectively) in Control kids compared to FBP ones. It was concluded that dietary supplementation with fresh bergamot pulp to goats improved nutritional quality of kid meat.

该研究的目的是评估新鲜佛手柑果肉在哺乳山羊日粮中的作用，以确定其对牛奶和乳仔脂肪酸组成的影响。18 只怀孕的雌性被随机分配到两组，每组两种不同的饮食：苜蓿干草（1 公斤/头/天），补充商业浓缩物（1 公斤/头/天 - 对照饮食）或相同的浓缩物（700 克/头/天）天）补充新鲜佛手柑果肉（2 公斤/头/天-FBP 饮食）。孩子们被单独饲养在单独的围栏中，并以母亲的乳汁喂养。在 45 天大时，孩子们被宰杀了。FBP 组动物的牛奶和肉中瘤胃酸含量高于对照组（P < 0.001）。由于与对照儿童相比，α-亚麻酸水平较高 (P < 0.01)，因此 FBP 儿童的总 n-3 PUFA 较高 (P < 0.01)。与 FBP 儿童相比，对照组儿童的亚油酸和花生四烯酸更高（分别为 P < 0.001 和 P < 0.05）。结论是，向山羊添加新鲜佛手柑果肉的膳食补充剂可提高小山羊的营养质量。
