Milk yield from 160 Brangus cows sired by 65 Brangus bulls was measured over a 3-yr period with a single-cow milking machine to estimate the relationship of actual milk yield of daughters and their calves' BW with cow sire EPD for milk during the preweaning period. Milk yield was measured six times per year at an average 49, 78, 109, 138, 168, and 198 d postpartum. The regression of daughters' ...

background: diagnosis of food allergy is difficult in children. food allergies are diagnosed using several methods that include medical histories, clinical examinations, skin prick and serum-specific immunoglobulin e (ige) tests, radio-allergosorbent test (rast), food challenge, and supervised elimination diets. in this study we evaluated allergies to cow's milk, egg, peanut, and fish in c...

the children. Pumpkin tested positive in one infant who had presented with rectal bleeding. Majority of the children had positive tests to multiple foods. Only 14% of the children had negative tests. The commonest gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms were abdominal pain (38%), constipation (36%), vomiting (14%), diarrhoea (11%), failure to thrive (9%) and colics (3%). Majority of the children had mul...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW To identify and discuss studies on the molecular diagnosis of cow's milk allergy (CMA) with a view to update allergists since a general review of the methodology in 2006. RECENT FINDINGS Seven basic research studies reporting the use of component-resolved diagnostics in CMA were found. All studies were on children positively reacting to a formal challenge with cow's milk. Si...

To detect milk proteins, reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) (Waters 2695 Series chromatograph, USA) was successfully performed to separate and quantify the major proteins from cow (n = 20), goat (n = 20), buffalo (n = 20) and yak (n = 20) milk which were collected around the fourth month of lactation for each species from February to April 2013 within 30 min. Descri...

This animal simulation model, named e-Cow, represents a single dairy cow at grazing. The model integrates algorithms from three previously published models: a model that predicts herbage dry matter (DM) intake by grazing dairy cows, a mammary gland model that predicts potential milk yield and a body lipid model that predicts genetically driven live weight (LW) and body condition score (BCS). Bo...

Camel is known as “Ship of the Desert”. Camel milk is different from cow milk in its chemical composition but it contains all essential nutrients as cow milk. Indian camels yield 3.5 kg to 10 kg of milk per day. The taste of camel milk depends upon availability of plants for grazing. The water content of camel milk fluctuates from 84 percent to 90 percent. Camel keepers utilize milk either raw,...

Background: Despite many efforts, the etiology of autism remains unknown. Food allergy has been suggested as a pathogenic factor in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Our aim in this study was to determine whether food allergy could be considered as a risk factor for autistic children. Methods: Thirty-nine autistic children were examined by the skin prick test (SPT), and total serum IgE was eva...
