The onset of lactation immediately postpartum facilitates initial colostrum delivery, essential for neonatal immune development. While lactation is a natural strategy of mammals aimed to meet offspring nutritional requirements, specialized dairy breeds of sheep (e.g., East Friesian, Awassi, Lacaune, or Manchega) and goats (e.g., Saanen, Alpine, Nubian, or Tinerfeña) have been selectively bred to produce milk above offspring nutritional requirements (Haenlein, 2007). Therefore, milk from dairy goat and sheep breeds is directly consumed by humans or manufactured as milk products (i.e., cheese, yogurt, kefir,... | URI: | https://accedacris.ulpgc.es/jspui/handle/10553/150094 | ISBN: | 978-3-031-52133-1 | DOI: | 10.1007/978-3-031-52133-1_310-1 | Fuente: | Encyclopedia of Livestock Medicine for Large Animal and Poultry Production / João Simões [Ed.], [ISBN 978-3-031-52133-1], ( Octubre 2025) |
