The aim of the present study was to find out whether the incorporation of organic dairy and meat products in the maternal diet affects the contents of the conjugated linoleic acid isomers (CLA) and trans-vaccenic acid (TVA) in human breast milk. To this purpose, milk samples from 312 breastfeeding mothers participating in the KOALA Birth Cohort Study have been analysed. The participants had doc...

were passing meat inspection. Meat inspectors were requested to submit lymph nodes that appeared abnormal as to size, color, or consistency. A total of 2843 dairy animals3 and 6791 beef animals was inspected on collection days. Lymph nodes were submitted from 736 cattle. Four dairy cattle were found to have malignant lymphoma following the histopathologic study. Two of these cows with extensive...

The purpose of this article is to examine dietary intake levels and major food sources of energy and nutrients for the Taiwanese elderly in order to relate nutrient intakes to food choices and to provide suggestions for dietary improvement. The data were derived from the 24-hour recalls from 1,911 subjects (955 males and 956 females) aged 65 and above, who participated in the Elderly NAHSIT car...

The relationship between rural labor productivity and food diversity was analyzed from the household consumption survey data of Pakistan. The dietary diversity improves nutritional balance of the diet, which enhances productivity through possible improvement in health. The elasticity of wage earning to food diversity was 0.77, far higher than corresponding elasticity for food expenditure at 0.1...

BACKGROUND In contrast with some epidemiologic evidence, our previous research showed that a 4-wk diet that was high in low-fat dairy reduced insulin sensitivity compared with the effect of a diet that was high in red meat. OBJECTIVE We investigated whether a dairy meal would produce a greater insulin response than a carbohydrate-matched red meat meal would, which might account for the change...

The diversity of a collection of 49 Lactococcus garvieae strains, including isolates of dairy, fish, meat, vegetable and cereal origin, was explored using a molecular polyphasic approach comprising PCR-ribotyping, REP and RAPD-PCR analyses and a multilocus restriction typing (MLRT) carried out on six partial genes (atpA, tuf, dltA, als, gapC, and galP). This approach allowed high-resolution clu...

Beef derived from Holstein steers is a significant source of the U.S. beef supply. The nation’s 9.1 million dairy cows in 2003 were 22% of the U.S. cow herd (NASS, 2005). Given the typical breed distribution of dairy cows, calving interval, full-term pregnancy rate, peri-natal calf death loss (NAHMS, 2002), gender distribution, dairy beef placement (80%) and survival to market (94%), it can be ...

Cindy Tian et al. report that meat and milk from cloned bulls and cows, respectively, appear to meet regulatory standards. The researchers cloned a Japanese Black beef bull and Holstein dairy cow, using somatic cell nuclear transfer, and compared the meat and milk from two beef clones and four dairy clones to that of geneticand breed-matched control animals bred through conventional reproductio...
