TL;DR: In this article, the CNCPS for sheep was used to predict energy and protein requirements of sheep, with a special emphasis on dairy sheep, whose specific needs are not considered by most sheep-feeding systems.

TL;DR: The appearance of terpenes in sheep and goat milk is enhanced by grazing on some novel pasture species, such as Galium verum, Cichorium intybus and Chrisantemum coronarium, which modify milk and cheese sensorial profile, compared to grazing on conventional forages.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss current knowledge of the main nutritional factors that influence composition of sheep milk and, consequently, its processing into cheese, with special focus on milk fat and protein concentration and characteristics, content of bioactive compounds, somatic cell content, and content of aromatic compounds able to improve its organoleptic characteristics.

TL;DR: The average excretion of AFM1 in milk followed an exponential decreasing pattern, with two intermediate peaks at 24 and 48 h, suggesting a better ability of sheep to degrade AFB1.

TL;DR: The Small Ruminant Nutrition System can accurately predict, ADG of growing lambs, and changes in SBW of mature sheep and ME intake and the energy balance of lactating and non-lactating adult goats and theADG of kids of dairy, meat, and indigenous breeds.
