Evolutionary strategies in lactation: nutritional implications.
The classical view of lactation is one of complete altruism. The mother devotes all her energies, except only those necessary to maintain her own life, to care for her young in order for the young to survive and reproduce. Mother bountiful gives her young the best of everything until they are old enough not to want any more milk. In this world, milk is available in virtually unlimited quantitie...
متن کاملNutritional Strategies to Improve Lactation Persistency in Dairy Ewes
Milk production is largely dependent on the shape of the lactation curve. Relevant elements of the lactation pattern are the peak yield, which represents the maximum milk yield during the lactation, and the lactation persistency, which expresses the ability of animals to maintain a reasonably constant milk yield after the lactation peak (Figure 1). Thus, persistent animals are those that show f...
متن کاملNew Research Strategies in Lactation Biology
Diff erent approaches have been used to study milk related traits in farm animals, reaching from statistical dissection of phenotypic variation to the search of candidate genes with major phenotypic eff ects. Th e aim of this study was to develop a new research tool devoted to in vitro studies of physiological pathways responsible for mammary gland development, lactation, remodeling and immune ...
متن کاملLactation and gestation in dairy cows: flexibility avoids nutritional extremes.
The modern dairy cow has been selectively bred to produce large amounts of milk. Partly as a result, food consumption is considerably less than milk energy output in early lactation. It is only at 2 months or more postpartum that intake increases to the point where positive energy balance is regained, the initial production being achieved by a substantial mobilisation of body reserves. These re...
متن کاملNutritional Strategies To
Introduction The development of a sustainable, profitable, and competitive egg-production system is becoming a challenging issue facing the laying-hen industry. The excretion and volatilization of nitrogen and the emission of volatile organic compounds of dietary origin are responsible for a large part of the environmental issues that have risen from the intensive poultry production. Especially...
