November 18th, 20145TH ANNUAL CANADIAN FORAGE &
GRASSLAND CONFERENCE
NSERC-Novalait-DFC-FPLQ-MAPAQ-Valacta Industrial Research Chair on Nutritional Control of the Production of Milk Components in Dairy Cows
Presentation Outline
Effects on Human Health• Nutritive Value
–Milk Fatty Acid Profile• Pleasure (Hedonicity)
–Milk Aromatic Profile• Environment
–Enteric Methane Emission
MILK FATTY ACID PROFILENutritive Value
Increasing ω-3 Fatty Acids in Milk
• Strategies :– Supplying ω-3 fatty acids in the diet– Inhibiting ruminal biohydrogenation
• Red Clover– Source of ω-3 fatty acids– Source of polyphenol oxidase
• Reduces lipolyse of glycerolipids• Prevents ruminal biohydrogenation http://www.rcsb.org/

A 5.3-ha field plot of timothy (Phleum pratense L. cultivar AC Alliance) was used for forage production• Alternate windrows harvested as silage• Remaining windrows harvested as hay
Same plot used as pasture during the feeding trial

• Last week of the feeding trial
• Milk collected and pooled by cow and by treatment
• Refrigerated in 250-L bulk tanks
• Transferred to the pilot plant
• Homogenized
• Standardized (3.25% milk fat)
• Pasteurised
• Sensory evaluation
• Triangle test
• Ranking test
Sensory Analysis
Aldehydes
• Attribute :
- Herbaceous (Moio et al., 1993)
• Straight-chain aldehydes can derive from lipid degradation (Toso et al., 2002)
• More lipids in pasture and silage as compared with hay

• Attributes :
– Sulphurous, hot milk, burnt (Moio et al., 1993)
• Contribute to the « normal » flavor of milk
• Derived from the catabolism of sulfur amino acids (methionine) (Taylor and Kiene, 1989)
• In line with dietary supply of protein, as a source of methionine, which was high in pasture, intermediate in silage, and low in hay
