Mammalian milk fat concentration and composition are variable and responsive to nutritional factors. First described over one and a half centuries ago, diet-induced milk fat depression (MFD) is characterized by a decrease in milk fat yield of up to 50% with no change in milk yield or yield of other milk components. MFD is classically observed in ruminants fed highly fermentable diets or diets t...

OBJECTIVE Domperidone is increasingly prescribed to improve breast milk volume despite a lack of evidence regarding its effects on breast milk composition. We examined the effect of domperidone on the nutrient composition of breast milk. PATIENTS AND METHODS Forty-six mothers who had delivered infants at <31 weeks' gestation, who experienced lactation failure, were randomly assigned to receiv...

The study aimed at identifying the best genotypes for important candidate PIT 1 gene and seasonality influencing yield quality of milk, in Jersey Crossbred HF cattle population maintained an organized farm Mountain Livestock Research Institute, Manasbal, Kashmir. cows (60 each) were genotyped traits. Milk samples (50 ml) collected on weekly basis evaluation years 2016-18, among all four seasons...

Genetic and phenotypic correlations between production traits, selected linear type traits, and somatic cell score were estimated. The results could be useful for breeding programs involving Czech Holstein dairy cows or other populations. A series of bivariate analyses was applied whereby (co)variance components were estimated using average information (AI-REML) implemented via the DMU statisti...

Meals high in SFA, particularly palmitate, are associated with postprandial inflammation and insulin resistance. Milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) has anti-inflammatory properties that may attenuate the negative effects of SFA-rich meals. Our objective was to examine the postprandial metabolic and inflammatory response to a high-fat meal composed of palm oil (PO) compared with PO with an added d...

Nutrition has a significant effect on reproduction and lactation in Ruminant. Supply of require nutrient of dairy cows and ewes in early lactation is the main challenges that will be considered, since in most cases the animals facing negative energy balance after calving and the beginning of the period of lactation. Negative energy balance may sometimes result in reduced livestock production an...

Milk yield, fat yield, and fat percentage for the first three parities were compared for crosses of Friesian strains from Canada, Denmark, Israel, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, the United Kingdom, the US, and West Germany with Polish black-and-white cattle. Mixed model multitrait BLUP solutions for milk yield ranked Holstein strains (US, Canada, and Israel) and New Zealand Friesians hig...

The study was conducted to find the association of -Lactoglobulin locus with the milk performance traits in 157 lactating Sahiwal cows maintained at Cattle yard, NDRI, Karnal. Two different variants of -Lactoglobulin were detected from DNA by PCR-RFLP. It was found that the frequency of B allele was predominantly high (0.84± 0.03) than that of A allele (0.16± 0.03) in the population studied. ...
