Two varieties of tiger nuts obtained from eight different sites and two harvesting periods in Ghana were evaluated for their chemical composition. The effect of site on sensory quality of milk extracted was also evaluated. The ranges (g kg) for fat, ash, carbohydrate and fiber of the black and brown varieties were 155.4-295.4, 128.7 275.3; 22.7 73.4, 29.8 -75.1; 12.3 19.4, 10.0 -16.4 ; 497.4 70...

This research aimed to analyze the polymorphism of Lactoferrin (LTF) gene exon 4 associated with milk compositions in Senduro goats. A total 42 DNA samples and from goats were used this study. The sequence was amplified using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) a pair primers. Genotyping carried out sequencing analyzed FinchTV 1.4.0 MEGA 6.0. In research, results showed that there three genotypes (...

We prove that the sum of greatest common divisors of parts in all compositions of n equals the sum of lengths of all cyclic compositions of n. The proof highlights structural similarities between the set of compositions of n and the set of cyclic compositions of n. 1. Definitions and Statement A composition of the positive integer n is an ordered partition of n; that is, a vector ( ) r p p ...,...

Calving records from the Animal Breeding Center of Iran collected from January 1990 to December 2007 and comprising 207 106 first calving events of Holsteins from 2 506 herds were analysed using linear sire models to estimate genetic trends for age at first calving (AFC) and milk traits. Genetic trends were obtained by regressing yearly mean estimates of breeding values on year of birth. In gen...

By definition, mammals are those animals that suckle their young and they comprise the highest class of vertebrates. Thus lactation is one important distinguishing characteristic of this class of animals. Mammals are born at markedly different stages of maturity and if it is assumed that their nutritive requirements correspond to their physiological maturity, one may reason Ideologically that t...

Although it has long been known that there are seasonal variations in the chemical characteristics of butterfat, it has as yet not been possible to assess the relative importance of nutritional and lactational influences. Moreover, in the Northern Hemisphere the problem is further complicated by the climatic effects, which necessitate the maintenance of cows indoors during the colder months, th...

This study was conducted to determine a proper feeding regime for lactating Holstein cows during the warm season in Taiwan. In Feeding Trial, 21 lactating Holstein cows were randomly allotted into three feeding regimes in a Completely Randomized Design. The feeding regimes were roughage fed ad libitum along with concentrate fed either twice daily (2C) or four times daily (4C), and total mixed r...

Aim: A polyherbal galactogogue based on indigenous knowledge of tribles (Bhagats) belonging to Patalkot (Madhya Pradesh), Dangs (Gujarat) and Aravallis (Rajasthan) was evaluated on lactating Surti buffaloes (medium sized buffalo breed of South Gujarat which is best suitable for small and marginal farmers as well as landless labourers/tribal with less input resources). Materials and Methods: A t...

The present study was conducted to determine whether recombinant human β-defensin-3 (rHBD3) in the milk of transgenic goats has an anti-bacterial activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Streptococcus agalactiae (S. agalactiae) that could cause mastitis. A HBD3 mammary-specific expression vector was transfected by electroporation into goat fetal fibrobl...
