Data on 19,489 Brown Swiss cows reared in northeastern Italy were used to associate absorbances of individual wavenumbers within the mid-infrared range with days open (DO). Different postcalving milk (DIM) intervals studied determine most informative sampling periods for predicting DO. Milk samples analyzed using a MilkoScan (Foss Electric, Hillerød, Denmark) Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) s...

Introduction: Applying of a new indicator in food packaging can be effective to inform consumers about the freshness and quality of the products. Materials and Methods: In the current study, a new milk freshness label was investigated containing beetroot color and multi layers of polystyrene. The label characteristics were investigated by estimating color number, release test, and scanning ele...

four ahomasal cathetered multiparous lactating sannen goats with mean milk production of 1.6 ± 0.64 kg and 139 ± 4 days in milk were allocated to 4 treatments in a latin square design. the goats were fed a basal diet containing 40% alfalfa hay and 60% concentrate. the basal diet was supplemented by infusion of 1) water, 2) cottonseed oil (48 g/d), 3) glucose (100 g/d) and 4) mixture of cottonse...

OBJECTIVE Human milk has well-established health benefits for preterm infants. We conducted a multidisciplinary quality improvement effort aimed at providing at least 500 mL of human milk/kg in the first 14 days of life to very low birth weight (VLBW) (< 1,500 g) infants in the neonatal intensive care unit. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Improvement activities included antenatal consults with at-risk m...

The composition and intake of milk by mother-reared puppies was studied to compare protein and energy intakes of puppies with estimated requirements. Milk samples were obtained from five beagle bitches over the period of 7-37 days postpartum. Dog milk contained on average 22.7% dry matter, 9.47% fat, 7.53% protein, 3.81% sugar and 146 kcal gross energy per 100 g. Protein comprised 31% of milk e...

the aim of the present study was to investigate the relation between different indices of milk yield andbody condition score (bcs) with the commencement of the luteal activity (c-la) during the postpartumperiod in high producing dairy cows. seventy-one multiparous healthy (free of detectable reproductivedisorders) holstein dairy cows (mean peak milk yield = 56.7 ± 7.4 kg) were used in the prese...

milk and fruit juice due to the high nutritional value, are widely consumed by society’s people. pomegranate juice in spite of nutritional value has oldness in consumption and milk-pomegranate juice product could be desirable specifically for the consumers who are keen to experience new formulation and taste. milk-juice beverage is a type of acidified milk drink that one of the main problems in...
