Abstract

Introduction

The inclusion of sunflower seed in the ruminant’s diet can change the milk production and fatty acids profile. Sunflower seed has high polyunsaturated fatty acids that increase linoleic acid isomers in the milk as beneficial fatty acids for heart health [3]. Sunflower seed contains 35 to 40% oil, 17 to 20% crude protein, and 70% linoleic acid and recommended in diets of early lactation duo to high contents of fat and protein. Supplementation with sunflower seed increased CLA of milk that has anti-carcinogenic, antiatherogenic and antidiabetic effects and potentially strengthens the immune response [4]. The aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of raw sunflower seeds in dairy camels’ diet on the milk fatty acids profile.
