Fattyacidomics and minerals: profiling the effects of recombinant bovine somatotropin on milk composition

Abstract

SELECTED ABSTRACTS OF THE III INTERNATIONAL CAPARICA SYMPOSIUM ON PROFILING (ISPROF 2017), Costa de Caparica, Portugal, 4th – 7th September 2017The aim of this study was profiling the measurable effects or recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST) on the nutritional properties of milk. A group of cows was treated with this peptide hormone and milk samples were collected for their analysis. The implementation of univariate and multivariate statistics showed a tendency towards a less saturated fatty-acidome in the milk collected from animals treated with rbST, with higher concentrations of omega-6 and monounsaturated fatty acids. In addition, less calcium and protein content and more potassium was observed in milk from treated animals, in comparison to control population. Thanks to this multi-component profiling of milk, a clear impact of somatotropin treatment on milk qualities was observedMinisterio de Economía y Competitividad.
