Effect of different feed patterns on milk and cheese yield and composition in sheep extensive systems

López Gallego F., López Parra M.M., Picón Sánchez F.

Extensive systems of merino sheep in Extremadura are based on grazing but with a supplement during the three critical productive periods. The effect of this supplementation on merino milk and cheese production has been studied. The milk production potential is related to grazing during lactation and to supplementation at milking. Milk production increases in relation to grazing with protein-energetic supplementation in winter-spring and energetic diet in autumn. Similar answers were observed in the composition of milk and in the cheese yield with these diets in relation to pasture.
