A randomized clinical trial including 1109 cows from 12 Australian dairy herds was used to evaluate the effects of monensin on the health (n = > 686 cows), production (n = 915 cows), and reproduction (n = > 908 cows) of dairy cows. Cows were allocated to a treatment group receiving a slow-release intraruminal bolus containing 32 g of sodium monensin that was administered 40 d before and 50 d fo...

The original observations of Powell (1938, 1939, 1941) that, for lactating cows, diets containing only a small amount of roughage, or usual amounts of roughage offered in a finely ground form, are frequently associated with an unusually low content of fat in the milk have been fully confirmed (see Van Soest (1963) for a comprehensive review). Information on the associated changes in the composi...

The study inappropriately equates daily milk consumption with the answers the participants...

The massive research interest in whey has strengthened its position among coagulated milk products. Previously conducted reviews demonstrate that whey-derived functional foods provide a cascade of beneficial applications promote health and wellbeing, managing numerous chronic diseases. To improve the understanding about how protein processing brings new products help tackling challenges is what...

The analytical technique described in the preceding three papers lends itself peculiarly well to the determination of total uncoagulable nitrogen, urea and ammonia in blood, milk, eggs and other liquids where we are dealing with minute amounts of these different constituents. In two earlier papers results obtained by adaptations of these methods to blood analysis were published.’ The procedures...

Milk is an important food; it is considered as a good source of Ca. Comparison studies of chemical and mineral contents of milk from human, cow, buffalo, camel and goat in Egypt are rare, so we determine chemical and mineral composition cows; camels; buffalo and goats milk in Egypt and to compare with the human milk since such comparisons are rare in Egypt. There are several studies dealing wit...
