CLA is a potent inhibitor of milk fat synthesis, as shown by investigations using mixtures of CLA isomers in FFA form. However, methyl esters of CLA can be initially formed in commercial synthesis, and their use in a supplement has certain manufacturing and cost advantages. Our objective was to compare abomasal infusion of methyl esters of CLA (ME-CLA) and FFA of CLA (FFA-CLA) on milk fat synthesis. Data were also combined with previous investigations to examine broader relationships between trans-10,cis-12 CLA and the reduction in milk fat. Three mid-lactation, rumen-fistulated Holstein cows were used in a 3 x 3 Latin square design. Treatments were (i) control, (ii) ME-CLA, and (iii) FFA-CLA. The ME-CLA and FFA-CLA treatments (4.2 g/d trans-10,cis-12 CLA) resulted in a comparable reduction in milk fat yield (38 and 39%, respectively) and pattern of reduction in individual FA. In contrast, milk yield, milk protein, and feed intake were unaltered by CLA treatment. Combining data across studies revealed strong correlations relating the reduction in milk fat yield to abomasal dose of trans-10,cis-12 CLA (R2 = 0.86), milk fat content of trans-10,cis-12 CLA (R2 = 0.93), and milk fat secretion of trans-10,cis-12 CLA (R2 = 0.82). Across studies, transfer efficiency of abomasally infused trans-10,cis-12 CLA into milk fat was relatively constant (22%; R2 = 0.94). Overall, ME-CLA and FFA-CLA were equally potent in reducing milk fat, and either form could be used to formulate a dietary supplement that would induce milk fat depression.

In this study, raw milk was collected from three different grades of pastures and processed by pasteurization, blending and ultra-high temperature sterilization (UHT) in a factory production line with a feed size of 10 tons. Additionally, all samples (from raw milk to UHT milk samples) were analyzed by -nose and GC-MS. Key flavor compounds such as 2-heptanone, hexanal, nonanal, 3-methyl-butanal, and dimethyl sulfide were found.

In this research article, response surface methodology (RSM) based optimization of three production parameters namely temperature, time and amount of starter culture of Vechur cow milk yoghurt (VCMY) on the basis of sensory evaluation responses comparing cross-bred cow milk yoghurt (CCMY) as the control is reported. The optimized values of production parameters were 2.15 per cent rate of inoculation, 42°C incubation temperature and 4 h incubation period.

We hypothesized that improving the fat globule structure of infant formulae based on the milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) would regulate metabolites and metabolic pathways, making it more similar to the metabolic properties of human milk. Therefore, we prepared infant formulae with different fat globule structures, including two model infant formulae (F1: fat globules surrounded by MFGM; F2: fat globules surrounded by protein) and one commercial infant formulae containing MFGM, and compared their metabolic differences with those of human milk. The number of differential metabolites between each sample and human milk reached 60 (F1), 132 (F2) and 126 (IF1).

Maternal Long-Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Status in Pregnancy and Newborn Body Composition.

Nutrients

December 2024

Department of Functional and Organic Food, Institute of Human Nutrition Sciences, Warsaw University of Life Sciences, Nowoursynowska 159c, 02-776 Warsaw, Poland.

Background: A number of clinical studies have shown a positive association between the maternal -3 PUFA status during pregnancy and fetal and newborn development and health. Despite this well-documented role of -3 PUFAs in pregnancy, data on maternal the LC-PUFAs status during pregnancy in the Indonesian population, to our knowledge, are not yet available. This study reports on the LC-PUFA dietary intake among pregnant women in a suburban population of Bogor City, West Java, Indonesia.

Telomere Length in Neonatal Dairy Calves in Relation to Lifetime Parameters.

Animals (Basel)

January 2025

Department of Internal Medicine, Reproduction and Population Medicine, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Ghent University, Salisburylaan 133, 9820 Merelbeke, Belgium.

Telomere length (TL) has gained attention as a biomarker for longevity and productivity in dairy cattle. This study explored the association between neonatal TL in Holstein calves and lifetime parameters (lifespan, milk production, and reproduction). Blood samples were collected from 210 calves (≤10d old) across four dairy farms in Flanders, Belgium.
