A study was conducted at Deir Al-Hajar Research Station for Shami Camels, Administration of Livestock Research, General Commission Scientific Agricultural (GCSAR) during 2019 and 2020 to find the relation between vitamin c concentrations in milk, either stage lactation, parity (lactation number) or presence mastitis. For this purpose, thirty lactating camels from different parties were used.Mil...

Copper (Cu) plays an essential role in the human and animal body system. One of the most important sources of Cu is milk. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of different doses of injection of inorganic Cu and organic Cu as Cu-arginine and Cu-lysine on Cu concentrations of milk in the lactating Zandi’s ewes. This experimental research involved 54 lactating Zandi’s ewes collect...

Two groups of five crossbred 87.5% Holstein cattle were housed in normal shade only (NS) as non-cooled cows and in shaded with misty-fan cooling (MFC) as cooled cows. The cows were treated with recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST) in early, mid and late lactation with three consecutive injections of rbST 500 mg of rbST (POSILAC) in every 14 days. During the study, ambient temperature at the h...

ABSTRACT Objective To explore the effects of intraoral pressure on colostrum intake. Methods Healthy women with full-term infants were admitted in study after birth. Intraoral was detected before and mothers’ onset lactation by a sensor during breastfeeding session. Colostrum intake measured weighting infant breastfeeding. The confirmed perceptions sudden breast fullness. Results newborns’ peak...

Two experiments were performed to test the hypothesis that suckling behavior of calves with similar growth potential varies depending on cows' level of estimated milk production and stage of lactation. Eleven mature cows, which varied in estimated 205-d milk production (996 to 2354 kg/205 d), nursing heifer calves of similar growth potential were used in Exp. 1. Suckling behavior of calves was ...

This research is focused on the evaluation of milk flow traits of Slovak Simmental dairy cows, using electronic mobile milk flow meters Lactocorders. All measurements were carried out on a farms located in the western Slovakia. We evaluated a total amount of 124 Simmental dairy cows. The Main group of Slovak Simmental dairy cows was divided according to parity and lactation stage respectively, ...

Multiparous Alpine does (42) were used to determine how stage of lactation and dietary forage level affect body composition. The feeding and body composition portion of the study had a 2 x 3 factorial arrangement of treatments. Eighteen does were fed a 40% forage diet (40F) and 18 received a diet with 60% forage (60F) for approximately 2, 4, or 6 mo of lactation (59 +/- 1.3, 116 +/- 1.0, and 18...

We evaluated 2 strains of mice for their utility in the investigation of nutritional and molecular regulatory mechanisms of lactation. The lactational performance and milk composition were characterized for an inbred mouse strain, inbred Quackenbush Swiss line 5 (QSi5) selected persistently for fecundity, and a nonselected strain, CBA. The milk yield assessed by changes in BW in response to suc...
