BACKGROUND Varying degrees of success have been reported with strategies to increase milk production when lactation is failing. The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy of domperidone in augmenting milk production in mothers of premature newborns. METHODS Twenty patients were randomly assigned to receive either domperidone or placebo for 7 days. Milk volume was measured dai...

Readily available inexpensive substrate with high product yield is the key to restoring acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation to economic competitiveness. Lactose-replete cheese whey tends to favor the production of butanol over acetone. In the current study, we investigated the fermentability of milk dust powder with high lactose content, for ABE production by Clostridium acetobutylicum a...

the purpose of this study was to investigate the polymorphism of k-casein (k-cn), β-lactoglobulin (b-lg) and leptin (lp) genes in iranian holstein cattle by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (pcr-rflp) technique. dna was extracted from blood samples of 139 cows using a modified phenol chloroform method. association between k-cn, b-lg and lp genes’ polymorphism w...

Mastitis is by far the most common and most costly disease in milk production in industrialised countries. Costs are related to loss in milk quality, decreased milk production related to subclinical mastitis, discarded milk, replacement cows, cost of treatment and labour costs [1]. This disease is the most frequent reason for the use of antimicrobials in dairy cows [2]. It can be classified int...

The traits particularly important for milk production include milk yield, protein percentage, fat percentage, and the somatic cell score. Alpha-lactalbumin (α-LA) is an important whey protein of cow milk, and is also present in the milk of many other mammalian species. In this study, we analyzed the genetic polymorphisms of the α-LA gene and their relationship to milk production traits (milk yi...

Dietary proteins are known to carry a wide range of nutritional, functional and biological properties. Nutritionally, the proteins are a source of energy and amino acids, which are essential for growth and maintenance. Functionally, the proteins contribute to the physicochemical and sensory properties of various protein-rich foods. Furthermore, many dietary proteins possess specific biological ...

milk and fruit juice due to the high nutritional value, are widely consumed by society’s people. pomegranate juice in spite of nutritional value has oldness in consumption and milk-pomegranate juice product could be desirable specifically for the consumers who are keen to experience new formulation and taste. milk-juice beverage is a type of acidified milk drink that one of the main problems in...

Breast milk contains several components that provide specific immunity and affect the maturation of the infant's immune system. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of breast milk, on mitogen- and allergen-induced cytokine production from cord blood mononuclear cells (CBMC), and if those effects differ between allergic and non-allergic mothers. The cells were incubated for 96 h with...

Plants used for curdling of milk practiced by kollimalayalis, the tribes of kolli, hills, Salem District, Tamil Nadu are discussed.

Ten replicates of two littermate gilts were used during a 21-d lactation in order to calculate relationships between milk nutrient intake and piglet growth rate and composition of gain. Gilts were fed 14.2 or 10.4 Mcal ME/d and litter size was standardized to 9 or 10 piglets. Piglets had no access to creep feed. Milk production was measured on 10 sucklings over 12 h on d 1, 5, 9, 13, 17 and 21 ...
