The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of different early weaning programs on growth performance and blood parameters of dairy calves. To meet this objective, thirty Holstein calves with initial body weight of 36 ± 5 kg were randomly assigned at birth to one of the three weaning programs. Experimental groups were: 1) starter diet and whole milk from birth to 6 weeks and wean...

PURPOSE Previous studies have examined the response of muscle protein to resistance exercise and nutrient ingestion. Net muscle protein synthesis results from the combination of resistance exercise and amino acid intake. No study has examined the response of muscle protein to ingestion of protein in the context of a food. This study was designed to determine the response of net muscle protein b...

Nutrition in the second year is important as this is a period of rapid growth and development. Milk is a major food for young children and this analysis evaluated the impact of the type of milk consumed on nutrient intakes and nutritional status. Data from the Diet and Nutrition Survey of Infants and Young Children were used to investigate the intakes of key nutrients, and Fe and vitamin D stat...

cow's milk allergy (cma) is an immunological response to cow's milk proteins such as casein, α-lactalbumin and β lactoglobulin. the aim of this study was to determine the most common cow's milk allergenic proteins in patients with cma and identify the most effective proteins in different allergic symptoms. eighty seven patients (≤18 years) with allergy to cow’s milk from 2006 to 2013 entered th...

Bovine milk proteins has been widely studied because of the strong association and relationship with composition and technological properties of milk. Cow’s milk quality is very important, above all in such countries like Italy, where about 70% of whole milk production is used in cheese-making industry. A reversed-phase highperformance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method was developed to ide...

This paper presents monitoring data on levels of aflatoxin M1 in the farm-gate milk in Albania. The monitoring included 120 evenly distributed samples collected in winter and summer from various farms all over the country. The levels of aflatoxin M1 were determined using the quantitative thin layer chromatography. On average, the winter milk samples revealed higher concentrations of aflatoxin M...

The aim of this work was to determine the milk and dairy products share in hospital diets of children and pregnant women due to special importance for this population. Hospital meals for this population were therefore analysed. Meals were pre­ pared exclusively for hospitalised children and pregnant women without metabolic deseases. Results showed that milk and dairy products portions as very i...

In 2006, New York City, the largest school district in the country, eliminated whole milk and reduced the availability of sweetened milk in 1,579 schools. Despite pressure from the American Dairy Council, skepticism from school food administrators and elected officials, and the difficulties inherent in changing a system that serves 120,000,000 containers of milk per year, a community-led coalit...

hours of cow’s milk ingestion, skin prick tests $3 mm, and serum specific IgE levels $0.35 kU/L for whole cow’s milk, casein, a-lactalbumin, or b-lactoglobulin. Persistence of CMP allergy in the 4 weeks before tolerance induction was based on positive skin and serum testing and a positive double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge to cow’s milk. Exclusion criteria included anaphylactic shoc...
