Abstract

Garlic oil (GO) has blood lipid-lowering effects. Milk fatty acid (FA) originates partly from plasma, and can be affected by the mammary lipogenesis. This study aimed to investigate GO effects on milk FA profile and mammary lipogenesis-related gene expression. Early-lactation goats were randomly allocated to four treatments with six goats each, and offered corn silage ad libitum and fixed amount of 0.79 kg day(-1) dry matter (DM) concentrate mixed with GO (0, 0.57, 1.14, 1.71 g kg(-1) DM) for 30 days consisting of 26-day adaptation.
