The microflora of milk powder consists of a wide array of microorgan­ isms of which special attention is given to Bacillus endospores. Bacillus endospores survive pasteurization and spray drying and inhabit the final powder product in the dormant state indefinitely. Once the powder is re­ constituted, endospores may germinate, and through their enzymatic ac­ tivity become detrimental to quality...

The limits to sustained energy intake at peak lactation could be imposed peripherally, by the capacity of the mammary glands, or centrally, by the capacity of the animal to dissipate body heat generated as a by-product of processing food and producing milk. To distinguish between the two hypotheses, we examined milk energy output at peak lactation in MF1 laboratory mice exposed to 30 degrees C ...

BACKGROUND The major contaminants usually encountered in milk and milk products include pesticide residues, heavy metals, and aflatoxin M1 (AFM1). Primarily, milk get contaminated before milching, from the cattle feed, from sources/materials used during the processing of milk as well as improper handling of the milk during the pre- and postprocessing period. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this stud...

AIM The study was undertaken to find out the physicochemical characteristics, selected processing-related parameters and activity of selected enzymes in Surti goat milk. MATERIALS AND METHODS Milk samples from Surti goats and buffalo milk samples were collected during the period from July 2013 to January 2014 at Reproductive Biology Research Unit, Anand Agricultural University (AAU), Anand. M...

abstract: camel milk contains sufficient levels of insulin and does not form the coagulum in the stomach preventing degradation of insulin and act as an effective vehicle to take the milk insulin unchanged to the intestine. in present study direct spectroscopy and standard addition method, well-known methods in analytical chemistry were used for determining insulin concentration in camel milk. ...

A method of finding the parameters pertaining to one of the variables of milk production, constituent production, and constituent percentage when the parameters pertaining to the two other variables are known is presented. The method is based on the expectation of products of random variables. This method and the delt~ approximation method are compared to sampling estimates from simulated data....

The serum proteinograms of 10 female Holstein calves fed milk either through conventional (COV) or step-down (STP) milk feeding methods at different ages were evaluated. Calves fed using the COV method were fed colostrum during the first 24 hours that they stayed with their respective mothers and received transition milk for another 2 days and later, and then milk at four liters/day for 59 days...
