This study was conducted to 1) determine milk yield of sows that were machine milked up to four times daily; 2) determine the effect of pig substitution on milk yield; 3) assess litter weight changes for sows that are milked; and 4) determine milk composition. Eight sows were milked four times daily to d 51 postpartum. Sows either maintained their own litter or had a week-old replacement litter...

Wiking, L. 2005. Milk Fat Globule Stability Lipolysis with Special Reference to Automatic Milking Systems. Doctoral dissertation. ISSN 1652-6880, ISBN 91-576-7048-X The implementation of automatic milking systems (AMS) initially caused a lowering of the milk quality regarding free fatty acids (FFA). A high level of FFA increases the risk of rancid flavour in dairy products. The objective of the...

Nutrition has a significant effect on reproduction and lactation in Ruminant. Supply of require nutrient of dairy cows and ewes in early lactation is the main challenges that will be considered, since in most cases the animals facing negative energy balance after calving and the beginning of the period of lactation. Negative energy balance may sometimes result in reduced livestock production an...

to study the effects of environmental factors on milk and fat yields (240day) traits of iranian buffaloes, 22596 and 22165 records were utilized for milk and fat yield traits, respectively. uni and bivariate analysis for estimation of (co)variation components of the traits were done in five lactations. milk yield in the 1st lactation had the highest number of records (4482), collected through c...

Heritability (0.08) was evaluated in a model whereas the comparable group used interaction between herd and control day. The influence of as heritability (0.03). herds years testing (0.04 0.05). Phenotypic correlations milk urea concentration milking traits: daily quantity milk, content fat proteins (P <0.0001). Positive low phenotypic correlation (0.15) found yield, amount (0.10). Between c...

in order to estimate the genetic parameters and comparison legendre polynomials for production traits of iranian holstein dairy cattle test-day records of first lactation cows for milk yield, fat yield, protein yield, fat percentage and protein percentage traits were used. these records collected from 2006 to 2010, by the animal breeding center of iran. the genetic parameters were estimated usi...

Ten lactating multiparous Holstein cows were used in a cross-over design with two dietary treatments and 28-d periods (with 14 d as an adaptation) to study the effect of restaurant fat on milk production and composition. Each cow was offered 14.7 kg DM /d of the basal concentrate diet based on barley and corn (crude protein = 17.7%, neutral detergent fiber = 23.5%, and acid detergent fiber = 5....

in order to examine the effect of using rumen protected methionine (mepron, evonik industries, hanau, germany) on productive and reproductive performance under field condition, 195 holstein cows were used in a unbalanced completely randomized design and 2 groups. experimental treatments consisted of: 1) control group with 110 holstein dairy cows (71±51 dim and 47.5±12 milk yield) and without me...

In this study, maternal effects were described as age of dam at first and second calving, first-lactation body condition score (BCS) of the dam during gestation, and milk yield of the dam. The impact of these effects on first-lactation daughter BCS, fertility, and test-day milk yield was assessed. The effect of milk yield of dam on daughter 305-d yield in the latter's first 3 lactations was als...

An experiment was conducted in order to assess the effect of level of RDP:UDP ratio and level of feeding concentrate on milk yield, milk composition and nutrient utilization in lactating crossbred cattle. Twenty four medium producing (~10 kg/d, 45 to 135 days postpartum) lactating crossbred cows were divided into four groups of six animals each in a 2×2 factorial completely randomized design. T...
