The&lt;br/&gt;association of rearing techniques adapted to the conservation of the&lt;br/&gt;natural environment and to quality milk production is a key factor in&lt;br/&gt;the survival of the systems. In the Eastern Pyrenees, milk quality in&lt;br/&gt;two goat systems is studied.&lt;br/&gt;A rangeland-based system: situated at the piedemont of the Alberes&lt;br/&gt;Massif, the site integrates a cork oak grove with a maquis-type cover of&lt;br/&gt;Erica arborea. The herd grazes in the maquis and also feed on hay and&lt;br/&gt;concentrate.&lt;br/&gt;A system based on forage: situated on the plains, the herd is fed in the&lt;br/&gt;stable.&lt;br/&gt;The first results of the rangeland system show a large evolution of the&lt;br/&gt;butyric acid levels and and inversion of these levels in the summer.&lt;br/&gt;Judging from the selection made by the goats, the supply of nutrients on&lt;br/&gt;the rangeland is less rich in fibre than the composition of shrubs would&lt;br/&gt;lead us to think.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
