background : since milk is considered as one of the most common foods in human life, this research aimed to evaluate the quality of milk produced in traditional and industrial dairy farms of yazd province in 2007.   materials and methods : in this descriptive study, six farms were selected in the cities sadoogh, yazd and mehriz and sampling was performed in each of them bimonthly throughout one...

Overmilking is a matter of concern because it may affect teat condition and udder health. The historic background for overmilking is mainly based on the assumption that all milk should be removed from the udder in order to maximise the milk yield. However, breeding for high milk yields has provided cows with a high alveolar capacity, large cistern capacity, and a higher proportion of cisternal ...

Intramuscular fat (IMF) % contributes positively to the juiciness and flavour of lamb and is therefore a useful indicator of eating quality. A rapid, non-destructive method of IMF determination like computed tomography (CT) would enable pre-sorting of carcasses based on IMF% and potential eating quality. Given the loin muscle (longissimus lumborum) is easy to sample, a single measurement at thi...

With the primacy of content driving the design of new network architectures as well as the successful CDN business model, it is instructive to reconsider problems of content placement from the context of ISPs. In particular, we focus on a near-term future where architectural support for content has become more explicit, or where ISPs have become more proactive in incorporating content hosting i...

BACKGROUND In nonsurgical facial rejuvenation, autologous fat and dermal fillers have become an effective method to achieve symmetry and balance of the midface. Nonsurgical techniques that target the dynamic anatomical relationships existing in the midface can improve rejuvenation outcomes in this commonly augmented region. OBJECTIVES The authors described techniques for fat compartment and p...

multivariate analyses of the morphological variation in five geographical populations of the pod borer, helicoverpa armigera (hã¼bner), was performed using 15 and 12 landmarks selected from the fore- and hindwings respectively. using their geometric morphometric characters (26 in the forewings and 20 in the hindwings), 287 and 277 images of fore- and hindwings were made respectively. analyses o...

17 In pasture-based systems, changes in dairy herd habitat due to seasonality results in the 18 exposure of animals to different environmental niches. These niches contain distinct 19 microbial communities that may be transferred to raw milk, with potentially important food 20 quality and safety implications for milk producers. It is postulated that the extent to which 21 these microorganisms a...

This study was carried out to determine the phenotypic corelations between different udder sizes and marketable milk yield in Awassi sheep. The animal material of consisted primiparous vs multiparous Marketable were determined after weaning correlations examined features calculated with SPSS package program. At end study, positive significant (P<0.05 P<0.01) teat length, circumfer...
