The aim of this study was to determine the effect of supplementing dairy goat diets with rapeseed oil and sunflower oil on performance, milk composition, milk fatty acid profile, and fermentation kinetics. Nine Danish Landrace goats with 42 ± 5 days in milk were allocated to three treatment groups for 42 days. Animals received a basal diet, formulated with 85:15 forage:concentrate ratio, and the basal diet was supplemented with either rapeseed oil or sunflower oil at 4% of dry matter.

This study investigated the effect of two different sources of unsaturated fatty acids, rapeseed oil and sunflower oil, as a feeding supplement on the milk foodome from dairy goats. Nine Danish Landrace goats at 42 ± 5 days in milk were allocated to three treatment groups for 42 days with three animals per group.

Of particular importance are hydrogenases and nitrogenases, which both produce molecular hydrogen (H ) from proton (H ) reduction. Herein, we report on the use of rotating ring-disk electrochemistry (RRDE) and mass spectrometry (MS) to follow the production of H and isotopes produced from deuteron (D ) reduction (HD and D ) using the [FeFe]-hydrogenase from Clostridium pasteurianum, a model hydrogen-evolving metalloenzyme.
