Diets as a means of controlling and reducing incidence of cancer have received considerable attention. Interest in natural nutrients and non- nutrients present in food that may have health benefits in humans such as conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is growing. Biological synthesis of CLA occurs through the microbial isomerization of dietary linoleic acid in the digestive tracts of ruminant animals. Therefore, ruminant species and their products are rich dietary sources of CLA....

Many Florida dairy farms purchase dairy heifers to replace their culled cows. The purchase price of a dairy heifer has varied the last several years from less than $1,000 to more than $2,000 per head. The major factors that determine the purchase price are the quality of the heifer and demand and supply. When heifer prices are higher than usual, many dairy producers question if they should purchase heifers now or leave the slots in the dairy facility (temporarily) vacant. This fact sheet...

Use of the commercial emulsifier lactam may help food scientists crack how to produce emulsions that mimic traditional whipped cream, says new research. Researchers from the University of Leeds in the UK report the formulation of an acidified caseinate-stabilised emulsion using lactam (lactic acid esters of monoglycerides) as a surfactant. "At higher LACTEM concentrations, foams even more rigid and brittle than whipped cream could be produced from aeration/acidification of...

When smaller dairy producers inquire about the cost of the parlors their neighbors with larger herds build they often conclude that a milking parlor is unattainable for them. The majority of smaller dairy farmers have no desire, or are unable, to expand to a size that would enable them to afford a modern one-quarter to one-half million-dollar parlor. Thus, they wonder if there is a lower cost alternative available for them. Why is there interest in lower cost parlor options? The first...
