Impact of Milk Thistle Cake as the Natural Antioxidant Source on the Mitigation of Oxidative Effects in Goat Milk Induced by Oxidized Linseed Oil

This study explores a novel feeding strategy in the nutrition of dairy goats, utilizing milk thistle cake supplements to mitigate milk oxidation determined by the presence of oxidized linseed oil in diets. An experimental trial involving 30 dairy goats was conducted with three groups: a control group fed a diet with 7% fresh linseed oil (CON), an experimental group fed a diet where the fresh linseed oil from the CON group was replaced with oxidized lin- seed oil (LOO), and an experimental...
