Introduction The practical and scientific knowledge obtained on the use of the Lactoperoxidase system (LPs) confirms its innocuity to human health (1), which allowed the lifting of the restriction that the system could not be used for milk products intended for international dairy market, in the Thirty-Second Session of the Commission Codex Alimentarius (2). The simple name of LPs generates confusion due to the association to hydrogen peroxide or oxygenated water, adding without...

Milk is one of Mother Nature’s most perfect foods; however, milk quality is jeopardized when it contains life-threatening pathogens. Through science-based knowledge, procedures have been developed to make milk safer for the consumer without losing its nutritional value. Pasteurization kills harmful bacteria by heating milk to a specific temperature for a set period, eliminating microorganisms responsible for diseases such as listeriosis, typhoid fever, tuberculosis, diphtheria, and...

De Souza et al. (2018) found that the calcium salts of fatty acids treatment increased digestibility, energy allocated to body reserves (0.60 Mcal/d), energy partitioning toward body reserves (1.20 percentage units), and body condition score change (0.06 units), and tended to increase body weight change (0.16 kg/d) and body condition score (0.08 units) compared with Triglycierdes high in palmitic acid
Remind that BODY CONDITION means METABOLIC HEALTH and "CLOSER" FERTILITY....

Introduction Consumption of saturated fatty acids in milk and meat from ruminants is associated with an increased incidence of coronary heart disease in human beings (Menotti et al.,1999). The fat from ruminant products is frequently considered harmful to human health due to the high saturated fatty acid content. However, a fat component, the conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) contains anticancer and hypocholesterolemic properties and prevents arteriosclerosis and diabetes...

A new buzz-word is rapidly spreading through the manufacturing and analytical environment. Discussions on the application of Near Infrared (NIR) Spectroscopy are often found on the agenda of production, project, technical and even board meetings. Engineers and chemists are confronted more frequently with the challenge to decide whether a NIR instrument will be the solution to their production quality control and other analytical problems. Are there really amazing machines that can determine...

Benefits of early detachment Faster milking. Early detachment reduces machine-on time. This may or may not result in milking more cows per hour depending on parlour size and milking routine. AMS benefit the most from a short machine-on time. Calm cows. Several studies have observed calmer cows when detaching at a higher flow rate. First lactation cows seem to be more sensible to overmilking than older cows. Improved teat...

Dealing effectively with heat stress in dairy herds is an essential management issue throughout the nation, but Southeastern dairy producers are forced to deal with extreme heat and humidity for prolonged periods. Heat stress decreases feed intake and milk production, decreases milk components including fat, lowers breeding success, and compromises the immune system, which increases the risk for multiple diseases. Hot and humid environments also allow mastitis pathogens to thrive. Below...

Milk quality is considered a welfare issue. Most dairy cooperatives have established quality-based payment programs to provide incentives to improve milk quality (Botaro et al. 2013). Total bacterial count, somatic cell count (SCC), and milk lipid and protein contents are some measurements that either result in the application of a penalty or in the receipt of a premium (Renau 2001). These parameters are also utilised not...
