Modifying Zebu Milk with Focus on Human Health: Opportunities and Challenges
Authored by Sabrina Manfredi*
Dairy products have been an important
source of energy and nutrients in the human diet for centuries. In addition to
their well-established basic nutritional roles (e.g. rich source of calcium for
bone building and high-quality protein for muscle growth), more recent studies
have also reported health-promoting effects of certain fatty acids, proteins
and peptides found in milk. The promising results observed in most studies led
to several investigations focused on strategies to increase the milk contents
of such bioactive compounds. Although much less is known about the milk
composition and the potential of farm-level strategies for improving the
nutritional quality and functional aspects of milk fat and milk protein in Zebu
breeds when compared to taurine breeds under temperate conditions, some
progress has been made as described herein. However, further studies in this
field are warranted since milk production in many tropical regions around the
globe is largely derived from Zebu breeds and their crosses.
