Effects of Adding Sodium Diacetate and Aspergillus oryzae to TMR Diets on Lactating Camel Production Performance, Milk Quality, and Fecal Microbiota

Camel milk is highly favored by consumers for its high nutritional value and health benefits in preventing various diseases. However, camel farming is still mainly extensive, making it difficult to control the quality of camel milk. This experiment investigated the effects of adding sodium diacetate and kojimabase, feed additives, on the quality of camel milk from lactating Bactrian camels. The results of this experiment show that adding sodium diacetate can effectively increase the content of vitamin E and vitamin C in camel milk and can also effectively increase the content of unsaturated fatty acids in camel milk, thus effectively improving the nutritional quality of camel milk. The fecal microbial analysis results showed that there was no significant impact on the microbial community among the groups, but the addition of SDA significantly increased the number of Melanocarpus fungi. This demonstrates that adding 1000 mg of sodium diacetate per kilogram to the camel diet can effectively improve the quality of camel milk, providing a technical reference and demonstration for stabilizing camel milk quality through nutritional regulation.
