The anti-diabetic activity of camel milk in type 1 diabetics is attributed to the significant amounts of insulin / insulin like activity present in it. However, evidence for the anti-diabetic activity of camel milk is scanty and equivocal. This study evaluated the anti-hyperglycemic effect of camel milk using drug (Streptozotocin) and diet (high sucrose) induced rat models for diabetes / insuli...

Our knowledge of the mammary gland as related to its size and function has been largely based on the observational relationship which exists between udder size and the milk the cow is able to give.1 Briefly considered the data available consist of two measurements, the milk production of the cow in pounds and the relative degree of perfection of the udder in size, shape, and quality as measured...

background: the extensive consumption of milk anddairy products makes these foodstuffs targets for potentialadulteration with financial gains for unscrupulous producers.objectives: the aim of this study was using pcr assay todetect cow milk in labeled sheep milk, sheep yoghurt, andlighvan cheese (a traditional ripened cheese produced fromsheep's milk). methods: the assay utilized primers target...

The objectives of this study were to describe the relationships between milk urea concentrations and nutritional management, production, and economic variables in commercial dairy herds. Dairy Herd Improvement (DHI) test-day milk urea data, production data, and information on ration nutrient composition and feeding management programs were collected over a 13-mo period from 53 commercial Ontari...

This study presents the results of determinations of Cs-137 in full-fat cow milk powder originating from four regions of Poland. The assays performed demonstrated differences in the content of Cs-137 in milk powder depending on the region. The higher content of Cs-137 was found in powdered milk samples collected from Opole (3.50 Bq/dm). The lowest content of Cs-137 was in milk samples from Wrze...

More efficient and economical production systems are needed to improve the sustainability of dairy farms. One concept to consider is using perennial cows. Perennial cows are those that maintain a relatively high milk production for >or=2 yr without going through the typical dry period followed by calving. Farm records show that some cows have produced over 20 kg/d after 4 yr of continuous lacta...

In pasture-based milk production systems, using available farm resources in order to reduce feeding costs, the composition and functional properties of dairy cows’ milk are of considerable importance to the dairy farmer, manufacturer and consumer. Basically, there are three options for altering the composition and/or functional properties of milk: 1) cow nutrition and grazing management, 2) cow...

There is emerging evidence that children with egg and cow's milk allergy who can tolerate these allergens cooked in baked goods are more likely to develop tolerance. As a result a hypothesis has arisen that exposure to egg and milk in baked goods may hasten tolerance development; however, it is unclear whether children who develop tolerance do so because they have ingested low levels of egg or ...

The objective of this study was to create a method for group nutritional therapy for parents of children with cow's milk allergy/intolerance in a paediatric primary care setting to increase accessibility to nutritional therapy. A second objective was to evaluate a milk allergy school. Follow-up time after the group session was 3 yr. All parents to newly diagnosed children (n=98) with cow's milk...

Preweaning and weaning records on 457 calves and weights and milk production of their dams were used to evaluate breed of dam effects, breed of sire effects, and individual heterosis effects. Hereford and Tarentaise dams were mated to Hereford and Tarentaise sires and calves were born from 1987 to 1991. Calf traits were birth weight, proportion calving difficulty, weaning weight, weaning height...
