The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of magnesium-enriched, high-calcium milk on serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) and biochemical markers of bone turnover in postmenopausal women. We recruited 50 healthy postmenopausal women to take part in this randomised controlled study. Half of the women consumed two serves of high-calcium skim milk enriched with magnesium (milk group) and hal...

There has been growing interest in the potential use of bovine milk as an exercise beverage, especially during recovery from resistance training and endurance sports. Based on the limited research, milk appears to be an effective post-resistance exercise beverage that results in favourable acute alterations in protein metabolism. Milk consumption acutely increases muscle protein synthesis, lead...

Several Canadian producers have implemented an inexpensive free-access feeding system modeled on Finnish guidelines,18 using formic acid as a milk preservative. The system mimics natural suckling and permits group social behavior. It allows for accelerated growth and changes labor requirements for calf rearing. Anecdotally, producers report less clinical cases of diarrhea and use of drugs for r...

PURPOSE We aimed to determine whether women consuming fat-free milk versus isoenergetic carbohydrate after resistance exercise would see augmented gains in lean mass and reductions in fat mass similar to what we observed in young men. METHODS Young women were randomized to drink either fat-free milk (MILK: n = 10; age (mean +/- SD) = 23.2 +/- 2.8 yr; BMI = 26.2 +/- 4.2 kg x m(-2)) or isoenerg...

The effects on sleep of a hot drink of milk and Horlicks were compared with those of hot water taken before retiring by medical student volunteers. Horlicks reduced the number of small movements made during sleep.

In many countries, goat farming is the important part from the economy point of the view; especially in the Mediterranean and Middle East region. Goat farming is well organized in France, Italy, Spain and Greece (Park and Haenlein, 2006). Industrialization of the goat milk is not well successed because of its poor and insufficient volume. From 1990, interest in the goat milk production is incre...
