STATs are a family of latent transcription factors that reside in the cytoplasm of resting cells. The STAT1 transcription factor gene located on the chromosome 2 at interval 60 to 63 cM. This factor upon stimulation with INF gamma, dimerizes and translocate to the nucleus where mediates transcriptional regulation. In this study, we estimated the allele and genotype frequencies of STAT1/Pag<...

The present experiment was conducted to detect quality and level of the adulteration in milk collected from Dharchuni, Atani and Khamar bazar of Muktagacha Upazilla. Organoleptic parameters used to monitor the status of milk samples were color, flavor, taste, texture; physical parameter used was specific gravity; chemical parameters used were acidity, fat content, protein content, lactose conte...

in the present study, to estimate genetic parameters and genetic and phenotypic trends in holstein dairy cows in the north of iran, the records from first lactation of 11398 collected from 1989 to 2006 were used. records were collected from 290 herds. productive traits were 305 day-2x adjusted milk and fat yield and reproductive traits were age at first calving, calving interval and dry days. g...

The importance of the plyunsaturated fatty acid in milk in the growth of nurslings needs no further mention. According to Bosworth et al.(1), arachidonic but no linoleic and linolenic acids are present in the polyunsaturated fatty acid of milk-fat. However, Hilditch et al.(2) reported that milk-fat contains linoleic acid at a level of 5%. Riemenschneider et al.(3) reported that the arachidonic ...

Background: The bovine AGPAT6 gene is one of the potential candidate genes governing milk fat synthesis.Objectives: Identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the targeted region of AGPAT6 gene and their effect on expected breeding values (EBV) of first lactation milk production traits viz. fat %, fat yield and 305 days milk yield in Karan Fries (KF) breeding bulls were so...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of tallow and choice white grease (CWG) fed at 0, 2, and 4% of the diet dry matter (DM) on rumen fermentation and performance of dairy cows when corn silage is the sole forage source. Fifteen midlactation Holstein cows were used in a replicated 5 x 5 Latin square design with 21-d periods. Treatments were 0% fat (control), 2% tallow, 2% ...

OBJECTIVE : To identify influences on type of milk consumed and the impact of milk choice on calcium intakes in Australian women of pre- and postmenopausal age. DESIGN AND SETTING : Questionnaires covering calcium intake, health-related dietary issues and priorities self-completed in a group setting. SUBJECTS : A total of 300 women recruited from community groups and government departments....

In this study, it was aimed to comparison the physicochemical properties and acceptability of different milk product including full and low fat milk and flavored milk such as chocolate, coffee and bananas milk. According to the result of current research the fat content in milk didn’t affect on the other nutrient component of milk such as protein, calcium and phosphorus also addition of flavori...

To determine the effect of alkaline hydrogen peroxide treatment of whole canola seed on milk fatty acid composition, 12 multiparous lactating Holstein cows (618 kg, 47 d in milk) were fed total mixed rations in a replicated (3) 4 x 4 Latin square designed experiment. The control diet contained no supplemental fat source. Canola seed (11.2%), either crushed or treated with alkaline hydrogen pero...
