The effect of t10,c12-C18:2 on milk production, and fatty acid (FA) profile of milk fat was studied in 8 goats infused duodenally with t10,c12-C18:2 (2 g.10 h-1) during 3 days, followed by a 2-day infusion of skim milk (SM). The goats were assigned to 4 diets in a factorial arrangement constituted by low (L = 45%) or high (H = 65% of the diet DM) percentage of concentrate without (CS0) or with ...

Cumulative milk production of crossbred daughters of sires of several breeds was estimated using weigh-suckle-weigh procedures. Pooled-across-breed analyses were conducted to determine, in retrospect, relationships of sire expected progeny difference (EPD) values for milk and total maternal value to daughter milk yield and daughter's offspring weaning weight. The pooled coefficient for regressi...

introduction: aflatoxin m1 is an important mycotoxin frequently found in milk and dairy products. the main objective of this work was to study the stability of afm1 during production and refrigerated storage of probiotic yogurt. materials and methods: two kinds of probiotic yogurt were made by cow’s milk artificially contaminated with aflatoxin m1 at a level of 100 ng/l, and fermented to reach ...

BACKGROUND Foods with a low glycemic index are increasingly being acknowledged as beneficial in relation to the insulin resistance syndrome. Certain organic acids can lower the glycemic index of bread products. However, the possible effect of acids in fermented milk products on the glycemic index and on insulinemic characteristics has not been addressed. The metabolic effects of fermented milk ...

Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of feeding 3 corn-milling coproducts on intake, milk production, ruminal fermentation, and digestibility of lactating Holstein cows. In experiment 1, three corn-milling coproducts were fed at 15% of the diet dry matter (DM) to 28 Holstein cows averaging (+/-SD) 625 +/- 81 kg of body weight and 116 +/- 33 d in milk to determine effects on D...

background: identifying the potential of livestock and forage plants of each region is a way to compensate the lack of forage, and efficient use of edible resources of the country. milk thistle is a medicinal plant which may be used as fodder for native livestock of khuzestan province. objectives: the purpose of this research was to study  the effects of different levels of milk thistle on rume...

INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to assess the variabilities of gallbladder contraction indices (GBCI) and derive a predictive model for gallbladder and gastric motility. METHODS The gallbladder volume and gastric antral measurements were obtained from 24 healthy male volunteers in preprandial and post-milk ingestion states. After preprandial measurement of the gallbladder volume ...

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of feeding different levels of monensin on feed intake, milk production and composition, and milk fattyacid profile in lactating Holstein cows. Four multiparous cows averaging 517 ± 47 (SD) kg in body weight and 101 ± 19.8 (SD) days in milk were housed individually in tie-stalls. The study was conducted as a 4 × 4 Latin square design for ...

Data pertained to 335 crossbred cows comprising of 1/2 Friesian (F) + 1/2 Hariana (H), 1/2 F + 1/4 Jersey (J) + 1/4 H, 1/2 F + 1/4 Brown Swiss (BS) + 1/4 H, 1/2 F + 1/4 Red Dane (R) + 1/4 H, FR (I) and FRH (I) genetic groups extending over a period of 21 years (1970-1990) maintained at Animal Farm of CCS HAU, Hisar. The averages for first lactation milk yield was 2,486.24±80.26 kg and peak yiel...
