Ten multiparous crossbred goats, ®ve each of alpine beetal (AB) and saanen beetal (SB) were selected from the National Dairy Research Institute goat herd immediately after parturition. These were managed as per the practices followed in the institute's goatherd. Blood and milk samples were collected at biweekly intervals from day 14 post-kidding for 22 weeks (154 days). Somatic cell count, elec...

background: methionine has been suggested as the firstlimitingamino acid for milk production in ruminants. it is importanthow to increase milk protein yield and milk fat in dairy ruminants.objectives: this study was set to investigate the effect of rumenprotected methionine (rpmet) on milk composition of lactatingcashmere rayeni goats. methods: 40 healthy singletoncashmere rayeni goats about 3 ...

Promotion and protection of breastfeeding is an important strategy in prevention of Vitamin A (Retinol) deficiency in childhood. Breast milk retinol’s allows us the chance to reach the maternal nutritional status and go over infant status. This study aimed to know the retinol and fat content in mature breast milk from Novo Cruzeiro’s population, Brazil. It was analyzes 63 samples of breast milk...

This work presented economic weights (EWs) calculated for Holstein cattle raised in Slovak dairy productions using a bio-economic approach. EWs are calculated for alternatives with (A) and without (B) market quota. Both alternatives included three market payment systems of milk (base price per milk value was corrected according to content of fat, protein and somatic cells). Marginal EWs for mil...

The present study investigated the effects of supplementing soybean oil (SBO) and sunflower oil (SFO) on the performance of early lactating Awassi ewes, growth of their sucking lambs and on the concentration of total fatty acids in milk and blood of suckling lambs. One hundred and twenty five ewes were randomly assigned into five equal sized treatment groups involved; a control total mixed rati...

The aim of this study is to show the importance and significance of goat milk . Goat is known as poor man’s cow .It play a vital role in the socio-economic structure of rural poor. Goat milk contains higher amount of Ca, Mg and P than cow and human milk but vitamin D, vitamin B12 and folate contents are less. Although fat and protein is somewhat low in goat milk than cow milk, but there is a no...

in this study, the effect of addition of three different levels of microbial lipase (0, 4, and 8.0 g lipase in 100 kg milk) was investigated on the physiochemical properties, free fatty acids, textural properties, and microstructure of lighvan cheese during ripening. the addition of lipase did not significantly affect ph, acidity, moisture, and salt content of lighvan cheese, but increased its ...

BACKGROUND Gyr cows are well adapted to tropical conditions, resistant to some tropical diseases and have satisfactory milk production. However, Gyr dairy herds have a high prevalence of subclinical mastitis, which negatively affects their milk yield and composition. The objectives of this study were (i) to evaluate the effects of seasonality, mammary quarter location (rear x front), mastitis-c...

High-fat diet (HFD) during lactation alters milk composition and is associated with development of metabolic diseases in the offspring. We hypothesized that HFD affects milk microRNA (miRNA) and mRNA content, which potentially impact offspring development. Our objective was to determine the effect of maternal HFD on secreted milk transcriptome. To meet this objective, 4 wk old female ICR mice w...
