BACKGROUND Milk is known to contain various nutrients that may have health benefits for postmenopausal women who are at an increased risk of cardiovascular and musculoskeletal diseases. We investigated the association between normal/high- and low-fat milk consumption and body composition in Japanese women aged 40 to 60 years. METHODS This cross-sectional study used the baseline data collected...

In milk processing, special emphasis is directed to fostering the taste and healthy values of goat milk. Therapeutic properties of goat milk are very well known. Comparison of cow and goat milk at the level of chemical composition suggests significant differences in their physical and chemical characteristics. Smaller diameter of fat globules (natural homogeneity), high portion of essential ami...

Hydrogenated fat-embedded calcium gluconate (HFCG), a prebiotic mixture designed to target the hindgut, has improved milk and component yields when supplemented in mid-lactation cows, likely due hindgut health. The objective of this study was evaluate production responses HFCG fed dairy cattle over full lactation. Seventy-four Holstein cows (21 primiparous, 53 multiparous) were used randomized ...

Previous research suggested that crude protein (CP) from canola meal (CM) was used more efficiently than CP from solvent soybean meal (SBM) by lactating dairy cows. We tested whether dietary CP content influenced relative effectiveness of equal supplemental CP from either CM or SBM. Fifty lactating Holstein cows were blocked by parity and days in milk into 10 squares (2 squares with ruminal can...

in this study, modified starch was used as a fat replacer in the milk. the fat replacer was manufactured from modified starch such as pre-gelatinized and cross–linked starches. modified starches were manufactured by hydrochloric acid and citric acid treatments from potato and wheat and were added to skim milk at concentrations of 0.15%, 0.30% and 0.45%. viscosity, total solid, fat content, titr...

This study investigated the effect of season (wet and dry) on milk composition of the dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius). Milk samples representing the wet and dry seasons were analyzed for total solids (TS), fat (F), solids-non-fat (SNF), ash, crude protein (CP), nitrogen soluble at pH 4.6 (SN), mineral content (MC) and casein fraction (CnF). Camel milk had higher (P

milk and fat yields in 3x and 4x milking schedule in holstein cows of iran were investigatedusing 374170 milk and fat yield test day records measured on the 1st and 2nd lactions of 54580 dairycattle coming from 205 herds. the records had been collected from 2007 to 2009 by the iraniananimal breeding center (iabc). the results indicated that an increases in the milking frequency from3x to 4x inc...

The effect of alfalfa ensiled in bunker silos at high moisture [HM, 34% dry matter (DM)] and low moisture (LM, 56% DM) content on milk production and Grana Padano cheese quality was studied. Forty Italian Friesian lactating cows were allotted to two groups and fed, in a crossover design experiment, two corn silage-based diets containing 27% of the total DM as HM or LM. Each of the two periods i...

The relationship between SARA and milk fat depression is inconsistent and complex. It can be surprisingly difficult, at times, to determine if a herd really has a low milk fat test or not. Normal milk fat percentage depends greatly on breed, season, and days in milk. Nutritional causes of milk fat depression (which may include SARA) only become a concern when these three major factors have alre...

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of feeding dried distillers grains plus solubles (DDGS) from different sources on milk production and composition in dairy cows. Eight multiparous and 4 primiparous Holstein cows were used in a replicated 4 x 4 Latin square design with 28-d periods. Treatments consisted of total mixed diets containing no DDGS (CON), or DDGS from source 1...
