| Abstract | ||
| This study was conducted to investigate the effect of supplementing flaxseed on the milk production, composition and fatty acid profiles of one hump camels. Ten lactating camels with average body weight of 450 kg fed treatments of control and 300 g flaxseed per day for 40 days. Milk production was recorded on daily basis, and milk composition and fatty acids were determined and the data were analyzed as a completely randomized design. The result indicated using of flaxseed increased (P<0.05) milk production of the camels (7.3 and 4.4 liter/day, respectively) and fat percentage (4.4 and 3.5%, respectively) in compared to the control (P<0.05). But milk protein and lactose were not influenced (P>0.05). Inclusion of flaxseeds in camels diet increased unsaturated fatty acids (P<0.05). The C18:3 value was 0.97 and 1.46 % and CLA was 0.25 and 0.41% for control and flaxseed treatment, respectively. Therefore, its recommended inclusion of 300 g flaxseed /day in the diet of dairy camels’ for increasing of the milk production and unsaturated fatty acids toward heart health. | ||
