ABSTRACT

The needs for research and experimentation in the dairy buffalo sector highlight priority aspects such as the introduction of innovative animal feeding systems aimed at improving production efficiency, also with a view to reducing climate-altering gas emissions and the release of nitrogenous nutrients in the environment. This research project aims to introduce into the dairy buffalo sector a modern approach, based on the principles of precision feeding, for the on-farm evaluation of feeds and diet which will allow to optimize the production responses, obtaining a double result: improvement of farm efficiency in terms of quantitative and qualitative milk production; better environmental sustainability. Another objective of the project will be the acquisition of new knowledge on the physical parameters of the dairy buffalo ration, an aspect still little studied for the feeding of dairy buffalo. Finally, the results of the project will make it possible to trace functional molecules in milk and mozzarella with beneficial effects on health, thus contributing to offering the buffalo milk supply chain new opportunities for the diversification of products to be offered on an increasingly demanding market in terms of nutritional quality of foods. Furthermore, the project is based on the strong interest shown by the buffalo milk supply chain for innovative and qualified products, and on the strong demand for innovations in the management of dairy buffalo feeding by farmers to increase the competitiveness of companies and to optimize breeding management.
