fifty six holstein lactating cows (71 days in milk; 35 kg/day milk production) were employed in a complete block randomized design of repeated measurements. cows were randomly allocated to two treatments based on their parity. cows in group 1 were fed a balanced total mixed ration (600 g concentrate /kg dm and 400 g forages /kg dm) with 50 g rumen protected methionine (rpm) per head per day (me...

AIM The study was undertaken to find out the gross composition, nitrogen distribution, and selected mineral content in Surti goat milk, and its comparison was made between cow and buffalo milk. MATERIALS AND METHODS Goat milk samples of Surti breed and buffalo milk samples were collected during the period from July to January 2014 at Reproductive Biology Research Unit, Anand Agricultural Univ...

This study was conducted to evaluate the yield and composition of milk from 30 indigenous South African goats of different genotypes, namely Nguni, Boer, and non-descript, reared under a free-ranging system. Milk yield and composition (milk fat, protein, lactose, solid non-fat, and minerals) from Nguni (10), Boer (10) and non-descript (10) goats were measured and analysed per week at each stage...

This study was conducted to evaluate the yield and quality parameters of milk from 60 indigenous South African goats of different genotypes namely Nguni, Boer and Nondescript reared under a free ranging system. Milk yield and quality parameters (milk fat, protein, lactose, solid non-fat and minerals) from Nguni (10), Boer (10) and Non-descript (10) goats was measured and analysed per week at ea...

introduction milk solid no-fat is economically very important in cheese industry. compared to the other kinds of milk, ewe’s milk contains higher amount of milk solids no-fat. milk solids no-fat (msnf) contains lactose, caseins, whey proteins, and minerals. the use of test day records in random regression method has several benefits including flexibility to account for the environmental and gen...

The experiment was carried out on lactating Holstein Friesian cows with the objectives of evaluating the effect of stage of age, pregnancy, lactation, parity and on yield, and components (fat, protein, solid not fat and lactose) and pH of milk. Milk samples were directly collected from the teat and immediately analysed using milk. The result showed that lactation stage and pregnancy significant...

The present experiment aimed to evaluate the effect of HMBi on the production performance and metabolism in dairy cows. Thirty multiparous Holstein dairy cows under similar conditions were randomly assigned to three dietary treatments; i) Control, a basal diet; ii) T1, a basal diet plus HMBi (0 g prepartum and 18 g postpartum); and iii) T2, a basal diet plus HMBi (10 g prepartum and 18 g postpa...

in this research, in order to describe milk production traits lactation mahabadi goat breed, seven statistical functions were fitted using 1665 milk production traits records and 833 body weight records. the milk production traits were milk yield, fat percent, fat yield, protein percent, protein yield, lactose percent and snf percent. these records have been recorded on 123 goats during years o...

AIM To study the alteration of major milk components such as milk fat, protein, lactose, solid not fat (SNF) and total solids (TS) and their association with different degree of intra-mammary inflammation (IMI) in Jaffrabadi buffaloes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Milk samples (n=1516) were collected from Jaffrabadi buffaloes separately from each quarter. Milk samples were analyzed for milk fat, pro...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of repeated oronasal administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on milk composition and the overall productive performance of dairy cows. One hundred pregnant Holstein dairy cows were randomly assigned to two treatment groups (n = 50). 30 cows out of 100 were selected for intensive sampling (n = 15) starting at 28 d before parturition. Cows were...
