in this study, somatic cell counts (scc) of milk were determined in six industrial and traditional dairyfarms in tehran province during different seasons. the prevalence of udder disorders and mastitis wasestimated on the base of scc as an indicator as well. in this research, industrial and traditional dairyfarms during 9 months were studied by total 32620 scc records. milk samples were collect...

The authenticity of milk and milk products is important and has extended health, cultural, and financial implications. Current analytical methods for the detection of milk adulteration are slow, laborious, and therefore impractical for use in routine milk screening by the dairy industry. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy is a rapid biochemical fingerprinting technique that could b...

The case study was conducted to show the effect of milking method in goat called half day milking on the milk production and the growth of kids. Data were collected by interviewing farmers and investigating goat production in the communal goat housing from June 2008 to May 2009. The interview was conducted to collect data about goat management. The observations were conducted on 10 goats, which...

The aim of the present study was todeterminecharacteristics of Rheb gene and protein in Raini Cashmere goat. Comparative analyses of the nucleotide sequences were performed. Open reading frames (ORFs), theoretical molecular weights of deduced polypeptides, the protein isoelectric point, protein characteristics and three-dimensional structures was predicted using online standard softwares. The f...

in this study, production, reproduction, management and economic parameters deduced from recordings of 5 flocks with 720 heads of native goats during an annual cycle of production in transhumance, village and farming systems were employed to determine the traits' economic values. the economic values of the traits were estimated, using maximizing profit, revenue per cost as well as minimizi...

This study investigated the effect of somatic cell count (SCC) in goat milk on yield, free fatty acid (FFA) profile, and sensory quality of semisoft cheese. Sixty Alpine goats without evidence of clinical mastitis were assigned to 3 groups with milk SCC level of <500,000 (low), 500,000 to 1,000,000 (medium), and 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 (high) cells/mL. Thirty kilograms of goat milk with mean SCC...

We studied the effects of goat and cow milk fat on the digestive utilization of this nutrient and on some of the biochemical parameters that are related to the metabolisim of lipids, using rats with a resection of 50% of the distal small intestine and control animals (transected). The fat content in all the diets was 10% but the lipid quality was varied: the standard diet was based on olive oil...

abstract background: breast milk is the main food source for infants’ growth and development. insuffi cient milk is one of the obstacles to the adequate use of this substance. one of the treatments to help this issue is acupressure. therefore, the present study was designed to determine the effect of acupressure on maternal milk volume. materials and methods: this study is a randomized clinical...

The safety and nutritional adequacy of goat milk infant formulas have been questioned. The primary aim of the present study was to compare the growth and nutritional status of infants fed a goat milk infant formula with those of infants fed a typical whey-based cow milk infant formula. The secondary aim was to examine a range of health- and allergy-related outcomes. A double-blind, randomised c...
