Stearoyl-Coenzyme A Desaturase Gene Polymorphism and Milk Fatty Acid Composition in Italian Holsteins
Marcello Mele,Giuseppe Conte,Bianca Castiglioni,Stefania Chessa,Nicolò Pietro Paolo Macciotta,Andrea Serra,Arianna Buccioni,Giulio Pagnacco,Pier Lorenzo Secchiari +8 more
TL;DR: Results of the present work provide some indication of an association between SCD locus and the fatty acid profile in the examined sample of Italian Holsteins, thus suggesting a possible role of this gene in the genetic variation of milk nutritional properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Milk fatty acid composition, rumen microbial population, and animal performances in response to diets rich in linoleic acid supplemented with chestnut or quebracho tannins in dairy ewes
Arianna Buccioni,Mariano Pauselli,Carlo Viti,Sara Minieri,Grazia Pallara,Valentina Roscini,Stefano Rapaccini,M. Trabalza Marinucci,Paola Lupi,Giuseppe Conte,Marcello Mele +10 more
TL;DR: The use of soybean oil and a practical dose of QUE or CHT extract in the diet of dairy ewes can be an efficient strategy to improve the nutritional quality of milk, suggesting a differential effect of condensed and hydrolyzable tannins on rumen microbes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Raw meat based diet influences faecal microbiome and end products of fermentation in healthy dogs
TL;DR: The results suggest that the diet composition modifies faecal microbial composition and end products of fermentation in dogs and promoted a more balanced growth of bacterial communities and a positive change in the readouts of healthy gut functions in comparison to RD diet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1, stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1, and sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 gene polymorphisms and milk fatty acid composition in Italian Brown cattle.
Giuseppe Conte,Marcello Mele,Stefania Chessa,Bianca Castiglioni,Andrea Serra,Giulio Pagnacco,Pier Lorenzo Secchiari +6 more
TL;DR: The key role of DGAT1 in lipid metabolism of mammary gland was confirmed, and the unbalanced distribution of alleles in all polymorphisms investigated suggested that the size of population should be increased to confirm the results of the present study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic parameters for conjugated linoleic acid, selected milk fatty acids, and milk fatty acid unsaturation of Italian Holstein-Friesian cows.
Marcello Mele,R. Dal Zotto,Martino Cassandro,Giuseppe Conte,Andrea Serra,Arianna Buccioni,Giovanni Bittante,Pier Lorenzo Secchiari +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that it is possible to change the milk FA composition by genetic selection, which offers opportunities to meet consumer demands regarding health aspects of milk and dairy products.
