Cattle breeds have a striking effect on milk, including milk composition and technological characteristics. This study aims to compare milk composition, acidification activity, viscosity, milk dispersion system stability and casein molecular weight among three buffalo breeds in China. The technological characteristics of milk produced by three cattle breeds of river buffalo (Murrah), crossbreed...

in this study, ultrafiltrated feta cheese was prepared from cow’s milk ultrafiltraton retentate and soymilk blend. rennet and calcium chloride were used simultaneously as coagulant to coagulate cow’s milk proteins and soymilk proteins, respectively. then, the effect of storage period on physical (texture profile analysis test, penetration test), chemical (total solids, protein, fat) and sensory...

Four lactating Holstein cows producing about 21 kg milk/day were fed complete rations containing 0, 5, 15, and 25% whole cottonseed in a 4 X 4 Latin square design. Diets were fed ad libitum. Periods were 21 days in length with total collections of feces and urine during the last 7 days of each period. Digestibilities o nitrogen, lipid, and energy increased with increasing cottonseed in the diet...

Sixteen Holstein cows in varying stages of lactation were randomly assigned to four groups of four cows each. Indwelling polyethylene catheters were placed in the jugular vein, and solutions were administered with infusion pumps. Group 1 (control) received 500 milliliters of saline solution (.9~ sodium chloride) per day. Group 2 received 50 United States Pharmacopeia Units (USPU) of oxytocin pe...

The objectives of this study were to determine carbohydrates such as glucose, total protein, lipid parameters, mineral levels in blood; qualitative characteristics fat, SNF, lactose, solids and protein percentages milk; the quantity milk after feeding german maize fodders. Thirty clinically apparently healthy cows selected divided into three homogenous groups. Control group was fed mixed grass,...
