The study aimed at identifying the best genotypes for important candidate PIT 1 gene and seasonality influencing yield quality of milk, in Jersey Crossbred HF cattle population maintained an organized farm Mountain Livestock Research Institute, Manasbal, Kashmir. cows (60 each) were genotyped traits. Milk samples (50 ml) collected on weekly basis evaluation years 2016-18, among all four seasons...

Data on production performance of 200 animals maintained at University Livestock Farm, Kerala Agricultural University, Mannuthy and Cattle Breeding Farm, Thumburmuzhi were used for the study. Among the eight economically important traits [305 day milk yield, fat percentage, protein percentage, SNF(Solids not fat), total solids, peak yield, days to attain peak yield and AFC(Age at first calving)...

To find out the association between major plasma lactogenic hormones and milk constituents in mithun, milk samples were collected from 11 mithun cows of 2-6 parity from the day of calving till dry off. Various milk constituents were estimated as per standard method. Serum growth hormone (GH), prolactin, cortisol and thyroid hormones (triiodothyronine, T3 and thyroxine, T4) were estimated by com...

The effectiveness of three carbohydrate sources, high-moisture ear corn (HMEC), cracked shelled corn (CSC), and a 50:50 mixture of HMEC plus dried citrus pulp (DCP), fed with or without supplemental rumen-undegraded protein as expeller soybean meal (ESBM), was assessed in 48 multiparous dairy cows. All diets contained (dry mater [DM] basis) 50% alfalfa silage, 10% ryegrass silage, 28% NDF, and ...

The effect of milking temperament on plasma hormones, metabolites, milk yield and composition in lactating Murrah buffaloes was studied. Animals were selected from the institute herd and grouped as docile and nervous buffaloes, based on temperament score before and during milking. Blood sampling times were; before milking (-20 min.), after concentrate intake, after teat massage, during milking ...

margarine contains a higher level of unsaturated and trans-fatty acids (tfa) than butter. the aim of this study was to investigate the physicochemical properties of these products in iranian market during storage. physicochemical analyses included fatty acid composition, peroxide and anisidine values, slip melting point (smp), color, chlorophyll content, solid fat content (sfc) and texture anal...

introduction milk solid no-fat is economically very important in cheese industry. compared to the other kinds of milk, ewe’s milk contains higher amount of milk solids no-fat. milk solids no-fat (msnf) contains lactose, caseins, whey proteins, and minerals. the use of test day records in random regression method has several benefits including flexibility to account for the environmental and gen...

The effect of feeding tamarind (Tamarindus indica) seed husk (TSH) as a source of tannin on dry matter intake (DMI), digestibility, N balance, milk yield and milk composition was studied in crossbred dairy cows in mid-lactation. The study included lactation and metabolism trials. The lactation trial was conducted using nine multiparous cows in mid-lactation in a switchback design. The cows were...

the objective of this study was to determine the effect of different levels of sesame wastes (sw) on performance, milk composition and blood metabolites in lactating dairy cows. in this order, eight multiparous holstein dairy cows were used in a replicated 4×4 latin square design in four periods of 21 days. treatments were control (no sesame meal supplementation), and supplemented with 5, 10 an...
