T h e high cost of milk proteins limits the profits of veal production. The situation is made worse by an increasing demand for beef. For this reason the rearing of calves for veal production is expected to decline to one-third within the next 10 years. One method of solving some of these problems would be the partial or total replacement of milk proteins with suitable substitutes. This course ...

This review examines the behaviour and productivity of the water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) under different breeding systems and in relation to meat and milk production. At present, the steady increment in the consumption of products and sub-products of this species has generated the need to increase the number of animals incorporated into production by progressively expanding the use of stablin...

the base of this review is to consider the relevant role that animal factors (potential milk yield, body weight, body condition score, state of lactation, parity and fertility) play on milk performance (considering the energy balance and the rumen function across the full lactation curve of animals) and milk quality (milk protein content, milk fat content, milk lactose content, vitamins, minera...

MILK IMPORTS TO Africa increased sixfold in the last decade and now exceed 2 million tonnes of liquid milk equivalent per year, accounting for about 30% of total consumption. They have a present value of about US$ 800 million. Substantial increases in milk production in Africa are feasible. This paper summarises the major environmental constraints to increased production of dairy products and d...

Interrelationships among milk production, dam-calf feed efficiency to weaning, and other biological traits were evaluated on 411 first-calf heifers and their calves. Individual feed intakes were measured in a drylot environment for a 1-yr period until weaning of the first calf. Heifer breed types included crossbred Angus-Hereford, Simmental-Hereford, and Tarentaise-Hereford produced in two-bree...

This study is related to the POM - Measure 2 - Project B15 'Veterinary services computerization and technical support to livestock farms', in which innovative plants solutions has been introduced to recognize the single animal to measure the quantity of produced milk, to centralize and automate the management, in different cow and sheep and goats breedings in Puglia and Basilicata regions. The ...

Galactogogues (or lactogogues) are medications or other substances believed to assist in the initiation, maintenance, or augmentation of maternal milk production. Milk production is a complex physiological process involving physical and emotional factors and the interaction of multiple hormones, the most important of which is believed to be prolactin. During stress milk production reduces. Milk...
