Abstract

Different ruminants’ diet can change milk chemical and nutritive composition. Forages, such as buckwheat, could change the nutri- tive properties of milk, being a significant source of bioactive compounds, metabolites that are thought to have an important role of both human and animal diets. Recent research has demon- strated that flavonoids play a synergic antioxidant role against free radical damage. Flavonoids, such as rutin, are an important class of phytochemicals products found in most fruits, vegetables, herbs and forages. Rutin is the dominant flavonol glycoside in common buckwheat and is well known that is a powerful antimicrobials and antioxi- dants with anti-inflammatory and immune system benefits. Two groups each with ten Massese sheep (body weight 60 ± 5 kg) at the same stage of lactation were studied. Blood samples of the two groups were collected before and at end of the trial in order to monitor the metabolic profile. Each animal was fed daily with 1 kg of buckwheat hay and 1 kg of concentrate. The rutin content of buckwheat hay was 2.26 g/kg
