The rheological properties and microstructure of buffalo yoghurt were investigated and compared to bovine yoghurt. Buffalo yoghurt exhibited a greater degree of thixotropy and a higher level of syneresis. These differences can be linked to the underlying microstructure of the yoghurt, which is more porous and contains bigger fat globules compared to bovine yoghurt. This study shows how milk pro...

This study was conducted to determine the aflatoxin detoxification by yeast sludge in the feed of Sahiwal dairy cattle and established its dietary effect on the increased milk production. Aflatoxins produced by Aspergillus parasiticus on rice were mixed into the feed of dairy cattle and fed to lactating Sahiwal cows for 14 days. Cows were randomly divided into three groups to receive either no ...

Milk production potential of buffaloes can be exploited through fulfilling nutritional requirements in terms of protein and energy. Two essential amino acids lysine (Lys) and methionine (Met) are limiting amino acids for optimum milk production in early lactation of these animals and are derived from dietary source. The objective of the present study was to analyze the effect of rumen protected...

Hypodermosis is responsible for significant economic losses and remains a current problem in animal husbandry. This study determined the extent of Hypoderma spp. invasion in north-eastern Poland in dairy herds. The extent of the invasion, determined on the basis of positive results of an ELISA assay (Bovine Hypodermosis Milk Screening of Institut Pourquier), varied in herds. Statistical analysi...

INTRODUCTION In South Africa where replacement feeding may not be affordable, feasible or sustainable, HIV-infected women are recommended to exclusively breastfeed their infants during the first six months of life. The question arises whether HIV disease progression and its metabolic impact on the mother will affect the nutrient composition of breast milk. The aim was to determine the possible ...
