Fatty acid composition influences the nutritional quality of milk and the technological properties of butter. Using a prediction of fatty acid (FA) contents by mid-infrared (MIR) spectrometry, a large amount of data concerning the FA profile in bovine milk was collected. The large number of records permitted consideration of more complex models than those used in previous studies. The aim of th...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate effects dietary ricinoleic acid from castor oil on milk yield, composition, fatty profile and haemato-biochemical in lactating Kankrej cows. Twenty cows were assigned following groups: control (CON), basal diet without any additive treatment (RAS), with 2 g/animal/day oil. Dietary had no (P>0.05) effect dry matter intake feed efficiency. Milk yiel...

We measured effects of continuous vs twice-daily feeding, the addition of unsaturated fat to the diet, and monensin on milk production, milk composition, feed intake, and CO2-methane production in four experiments in a herd of 88 to 109 milking Holsteins. Methane and CO2 production increased with twice-daily feeding, but the CO2:CH4 ratio remained unchanged. Soybean oil did not affect the milkf...

the ratio of ω-6: ω-3 is connected to the higher risk of non-communicable diseases, thus this ratio is becoming more important than quantity of ω-6 and ω-3 in human nutrition. in countries like iran, cow’s milk is mainly produced in rural area and less in conventional systems. the lactating cows reared in rural and conventional farms are different in terms of nutrition, daily yields, and propor...

In accordance with the local climatic conditions and folk traditions in Republic of Bashkortostan, dairy horse breeding occupies a leading position. Mare's milk is unique raw material for production wide variety highly nutritious, complete easily digestible food products. Scientists recommend mare's as medicinal dietary product. The paper presents yogurt recipe developed on basis composition us...

The goals of this study were to have an improved understanding of milk composition and to help create a suitable milk formula for cubs raised in captivity. Milk samples were evaluated for fat, fatty acids, carbohydrate, vitamin D(3), 25(OH)D(3), vitamin A (retinol), vitamin E (α-tocopherol), protein, and amino acids. Total lipids in milk did not differ for cubs (mean ± SEM = 26.60 ± 1.88 g/100 ...
