Abstract
Eighteen Italian Mediterranean buffalo cows were subjected to fortnightly milk sampling from May to July 2022. Air temperature and relative humidity were monitored throughout the trial; temperature-humidity index (THI) was calculated and ranged from 69 to 79 so that 3 classes were set to study the effect of different THI on milk quality: THI less than 72 - THI < 72; THI ranging from 72 to 76 THI72-76, and THI over 76 - THI > 76. Individual milk samples from buffalo cows were analyzed for milk composition and coagulation traits, fatty acid and amino-acid composition, enzymatic and mineral profile. The THI > 76 class registered the highest lactose content and poorer milk clot characteristics in comparison with THI < 72. Exposure to THI over 76 resulted in increased contents of saturated and short- chain fatty acids in milk as well as in the highest values of atherogenic and thrombogenic indexes and the lowest essential amino-acid content. Moreover, the lowest value of Calcium, Copper and Selenium contents were found in the milk of buffalo cows exposed to THI over 72. Results confirm that Italian Mediterranean buffalo expresses a good level of thermo-tolerance, even though exposure to daily THI over 76 has a deleterious effect on some nutritional and technological properties of milk.
