I~has. been gen~rally agreed that the camel has the ability to produce more milk of good composition for a longer period of time In an environment of extreme temperature, drought and lack of pasture. In arid zones and drylands, camel has been termed as the goal animal in 21st century. Daily milk yield of camel varies from 3.5 litres (under desert conditions) to 40 litres (under intensive manage...

Milk production is a primary factor controlling weaning weight of beef calves. The purpose of this experiment was to develop a practical and reliable on-farm method of estimating milk production and to relate estimates of milk production and milk composition to preweaning weight gain of calves. A second objective was to relate milk production to postpartum ovarian activity. Milk production of s...

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 ...

This study was conducted to determine the chemical composition and nutritive value of sunflower residues silage (SRS) and effects of its substitution with alfalfa hay and corn silage on lactation performance, feed intake, nutrient digestibility and some blood parameters of Mohabadi dairy goats. Four experimental diets were formulated to gradually replace alfalfa hay and corn silage with SRS as ...

This review describes the effects of milking (routine and management) on milk yield and milk quality on dairy ruminants and examines the physiological effects of milking on the synthesis and secretion of milk. During milking, differences in the composition of milk as a result of milk ejection reflex are observed: the cisternal milk, immediately available, contains little fat, then milk ejection...

Veira, D. M., Charmley, L. L., Charmley, E. and Lee, A. J. 2001. The effect of feeding soybean oil to mid-lactation dairy cows on milk production and composition and on diet digestion. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 81: 425–428. Mid-lactation Holstein cows were used to test the effect of feeding 3% soybean oil (SBO) on total mixed ration intake, apparent digestibility, milk production, and milk composition...

the purpose of the given work was to study the dairy efficiency of the delivered, local and crossbreed goats in three different generations (f1, f2 and f3), derived from their crosses, as well as the biochemical composition of milk and some bloodplasma hormones, participating in the process of lactopoez. for the biochemical tests of milk we have selected casein and serumproteins, iron in lactof...
