A total of 45 preruminant goats were fed either goat milk or a milk substitute. The postnatal development of bile secretion and biliary lipids composition of suckling goats and the influence upon these parameters of maternal milk substitution were studied during the first month of life. Samples of hepatic and gallbladder bile were obtained from kids of 1, 7, 14, 21 and 28 day-old. Bile flow rat...

Protein fractions were isolated by the method of differential solubility, and their protein contents were estimated using Bio-Rad protein assay reagen...

1. Studies were conducted to measure the influence of perinatal undernutrition of twin-bearing ewes on ewe milk yields and lamb performance in early lactation. Comparative studies were conducted with lambs to measure the effects of postnatal nutrition on lamb performance and carcass composition. The major objective of this work was to determine the extent of the influence of postnatal nutrition...

The objective of this research was to determine the effect of the use of rennet substitute on composition and yield of Minas Padrão cheese. Pasteurized and standardized milk (3.0% fat) was divided into 2 parts and prepared for each treatment varying the rennet: batch 1(BOV), commercial calf rennet (Chymosin and pepsin) and batch 2 (QPF), commercial rennet substitute Chy-max (Chymosin) and conve...

The first milk substitute for giant panda cubs was developed in 1988 based on limited data about giant panda breast milk and that of certain types of bear. Mixtures of other formulas have also been fed to cubs at some facilities. However, they are not of sufficient nutritional quality for promoting growth in panda cubs. Here, we report analysis of giant panda breast milk and propose new milk su...

Suckling goats were fed ad libitum during the first month of their life by goat milk or by a milk replacer. These diets differed in the amount of fat and the type of protein. The composition of the exocrine pancreatic secretion in the basal period and in response to food were compared in both conditions. Pancreatic juice was collected one hour before meal intake up to the 8th postprandial hour....

THE component fatty acids and glycerides of the milk-fat of the camel have been studied in detail, in order to compare them with those of the milk-fats of the cow [Hilditch et al., 1929; 1930; 1931], buffalo [Bhattacharya and Hilditch, 1931], sheep and goat [Dhingra, 1933]. In north-western parts of India milk from camels is utilised as an article of diet by some tribes, but the fat is rarely e...

Members of the family Enterobacteriaceae were cultured from 52.5% of 141 milk substitute infant formulas which were obtained in 35 countries. The concentration did not exceed a level of 1 CFU/g in any product. The species which were isolated most frequently were Enterobacter agglomerans, cloacae, Enterobacter sakazakii, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. If infections due to these organisms occur, it c...

made, the chief of which are a complete description of the practical details connected with the production of pure milk and its modifications and the most recent developments in substitute feeding as illustrated in the farm and milk laboratories of the Infants Hospital. The author has also given the results of his special researches on the etiology of zymotic enteritis, which* are most interest...
