the study was carried out on 120 crossbred holstein × shahiwal dairy cows for a period of 150 days to quantify the influence of dietary energy and protein intake on yield and composition of milk. total 12 dairy farms having similar housing systems and holding at least 20 dairy cows in between mid to late lactation were selected for study purposes. the farms were located in the peri-urban and ur...

This review describes the effects of milking (routine and management) on milk yield and milk quality on dairy ruminants and examines the physiological effects of milking on the synthesis and secretion of milk. During milking, differences in the composition of milk as a result of milk ejection reflex are observed: the cisternal milk, immediately available, contains little fat, then milk ejection...

Camel is known as “Ship of the Desert”. Camel milk is different from cow milk in its chemical composition but it contains all essential nutrients as cow milk. Indian camels yield 3.5 kg to 10 kg of milk per day. The taste of camel milk depends upon availability of plants for grazing. The water content of camel milk fluctuates from 84 percent to 90 percent. Camel keepers utilize milk either raw,...

Obesity is a major burden on healthcare systems. Simple, cost effective interventions that encourage healthier behaviours are required. The present study evaluated the efficacy of a salience nudge for promoting a change in milk selection from full-cream to low-fat (lower calorie) in the kitchen of a university-based research institute that provided full-cream and low-fat milk free of charge. Mi...

background: soy milk replacement in the diet may have beneficial effects on anthropometric and blood pressure values in overweight and obese individuals. therefore, in this study the effects of soy milk replacements on the weight, waist circumference and blood pressure are examined among overweight and obese youth females. methods: this was a cross-over randomized clinical trial on 23 overweigh...

Coconut milk was prepared by grinding coconut with water and straining through muslin cloth. To improve total solids and protein contents of coconut milk, various temperatures and pH levels of extraction water were investigated. Coconut milk prepared by grinding coconut with hot water (80C) at pH 8 contained highest solids and proteins. The coconut milk was then blended with various percentages...

ABSTRACT: The “Encyclopedia of Fermented Fresh Milk” has classified Acidophilus and Bifidus milks as Non-traditional fermented milk products. These products contain Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium spp., respectively, that are known as probiotic microoganisms. In this study, some aspects of acidity development, pH measurement and bacterial counts were monitored when these micro-org...

Background: Mastitis in sheep caused by Staphylococcus spp. is a serious concern for dairy farming. Aims: The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of the intramammary infection (IMI) caused by Staphylococcus spp. on the long-chain fatty acid profile and composition of ewe’s milk. Methods: The experiment was conducted in a herd of Zoslachtena Valaska sheep. Half-udder milk samples ...

Milk curd syndrome or inspissated milk syndrome or milk plug syndrome is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction in neonates [1]. This entity was more commonly encountered before 1980’s, when formula feeds were manufactured by just drying of cow’s milk. Milk curd syndrome after initiation of feeding with unmodified animal milk is extremely rare. We report milk curd syndrome in a neonate who pres...
