چکیده
In this study, milk and rumen liquor of stray cattle were found to contain measurable concentration of PolyChlorinatedBiphenyls (PCB). A notable finding in this study is that stray cattle have high level of PCBs where as the PCB in control group can not be detected. Since, reduction in space in the urban areas has pushed the cattle population to fend themselves in the streets, bovine milk act as a potential source of PCBs for residents in Chennai. To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive study on exposure of stray cattle to PCBs by intake of plastic waste in India.

Effects of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) supplementation on intake, digestibility, rumen fermentation and milk yield in Nili-Ravi buffaloes
Rumen Yeast® (RY; Saccharomyces cerevisiae), a live yeast strain, improves milk yield and composition and nutrients digestibility through balancing rumen ecosystem and increasing ruminal cellulolytic bacteria numbers in cattle. To examine the effects of dietary supplementation of RY in Nili-Ravi buffaloes, 16 buffaloes with 8 L average daily milk production were randomly divided into two groups...

Nine multiparous lactating cows averaging 171 days in milk were divided according to days in milk and milk production into three 3×3 Latin squares with three 3-week periods to investigate the effect of rumen degradable protein on milk urea nitrogen. Diets were formulated to provide 3 concentrations of dietary rumen degradable protein (9.8, 10.8, and 11.8% of dry matter), while rumen undegradabl...
