Dietary Supplementation of Olive Pomace in Lactating Buffaloes: Effects on Milk and Yogurt Composition and Fatty Acid Profile

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Olive pomace in lactating buffaloes: Fifteen lactating buffaloes were fed with 0%, 7.5%, and 15% olive pomace substituted with wheat flour for 45 days. Replacing olive pomace with wheat flour in the diet of lactating buffaloes increased milk fat, the concentration of short‐chain and unsaturated fatty acids, and conjugated fatty acids.
