Milk was obtained from two captive bred cheetahs. The nutrient content was 99.6 g protein; 64.8 g fat; and 40.21 g lactose per kg milk. Small amounts of oligosaccharides, glucose, galactose and fucose were noted. The protein fraction respectively consisted of 34.2 g caseins per kg milk and of 65.3 g whey proteins per kg milk. Very little variation in milk composition among the individual cheeta...

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between breast milk fat content with maternal anthropometric status, energy and macronutrient intake and weight for age Z-score of exclusively breastfed infants. Breast milk samples and information on energy and macronutrients intake (using 24-hour recall method for 3 days) were collected from 182 lactating women. Weight and height of mo...

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...

The effects of fat source (0.7 kg of fatty acids from extruded soybeans or palmitic acid), of sodium bicarbonate (0.3 kg) plus straw (1 kg) and the interaction of these treatments on the content of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in the milk of dairy cows were examined. During nine weeks a group of 10 cows received a ration with palmitic acid and bicarbonate plus straw (ration PAB). During three...

The content of polychlorinated biphenyls was determined in human milk collected from four regions of Poland, as well as in cow’s milk and infant formulas. Significant statistical differences in PCB levels were determined in human milk depending on the region. The highest PCB mean concentration (0.351 mg.kg-1 milk fat) was determined in human milk from Gdańsk. An average of 0.218 mg PCB kg-1 mil...

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of feeding an increased amount of extruded flaxseed with high proportions of n-3 fatty acids (FA) to transition dairy cows on performance, energy balance, and FA composition in plasma, adipose tissue, and milk fat. Multiparous Israeli-Holstein dry cows (n = 44) at 256 d of pregnancy were assigned to 2 treatments: (1) control cows were fed...

The experiment was carried out on lactating Holstein Friesian cows with the objectives of evaluating the effect of stage of age, pregnancy, lactation, parity and on yield, and components (fat, protein, solid not fat and lactose) and pH of milk. Milk samples were directly collected from the teat and immediately analysed using milk. The result showed that lactation stage and pregnancy significant...

The importance of the plyunsaturated fatty acid in milk in the growth of nurslings needs no further mention. According to Bosworth et al.(1), arachidonic but no linoleic and linolenic acids are present in the polyunsaturated fatty acid of milk-fat. However, Hilditch et al.(2) reported that milk-fat contains linoleic acid at a level of 5%. Riemenschneider et al.(3) reported that the arachidonic ...

Wiking, L. 2005. Milk Fat Globule Stability Lipolysis with Special Reference to Automatic Milking Systems. Doctoral dissertation. ISSN 1652-6880, ISBN 91-576-7048-X The implementation of automatic milking systems (AMS) initially caused a lowering of the milk quality regarding free fatty acids (FFA). A high level of FFA increases the risk of rancid flavour in dairy products. The objective of the...

Continuous infusion systems used for enteral nutrition support in the neonatal intensive care unit deliver as little as 60% of the fat in human milk to the neonate. This study determined the effect of mixing common feedings for preterm infants in the feeding bag and tubing on fat losses during enteral feeding. Laboratory models were developed to assess the contribution of various mixing techniq...
