Grazing versus housing in native dairy goats: Impacts on milk yield, composition, and conjugated linoleic acid enrichment under arid conditions

Grazing boosts the nutritional quality of milk from native goats by increasing unsaturated FAs and significantly raising CLA levels, though it comes with a reduction in milk volume. These results underscore the importance of native goats and extensive grazing systems for producing nutrient-rich milk in arid areas, supporting both sustainability and potential markets for functional foods.
