The objective of the present study was to determine heat stress zones (HSZ) in a year for daily milk yield (DMY) of Murrah buffaloes. Data for the study included 2,67,599 daily milk yield records of 445 Murrah buffaloes sired by 171 bulls as well as climatic parameters, viz. dry bulb temperature (T) and wet bulb (T) temperatures spanning over 16 years (2001-2016). The regression analysis of DMY on carryover heat effect indicated that the decline in DMY was significant above the carryover heat effect (CHE) 70. April-November were critical for daily milk yield, and maximum decline in daily milk yield was observed during the month of August in Murrah buffaloes. Therefore, two zones in a year were classified as non-heat stress zone (NHSZ) with CHE < 70 for months December-March and heat stress zone (HSZ) with CHE > 70 during April-November.

Protein content is an important index in the assessment of dairy nutrition. As a crucial source of protein absorption in people's daily life, the quality of milk powder products not only has a deep impact on the development of the dairy industry, but also seriously damages the health of consumers. It is of great significance to find a faster and more accurate method for detecting milk protein content.

Effect of drinking water salinity on lactating cows' water and feed intake, milk yield, and rumen physiology.

Animal

December 2024

Department of Ruminant Science, Institute of Animal Science, Agricultural Research Organization, Rishon Lezion 7528809, Israel. Electronic address:

Use of desalinated seawater in arid and semiarid regions for domestic, industrial, and agricultural purposes is on the rise. Consequently, in those regions, drinking water offered to lactating cows has lower salinity and mineral concentrations than in the past. Although water with total dissolved solids (TDSs) of up to 1 000 ppm is considered safe for drinking, lower salinity level may affect rumen physiology, feed and water intake, or milk yield.

The Effect of Protein Supplementation and Playing Time on Recovery Kinetics During a Congested Basketball Schedule.

Nutrients

December 2024

Department of Physical Education and Sport Science, School of Physical Education, Sport Science and Occupational Therapy, Democritus University of Thrace, 69100 Komotini, Greece.

Background/objectives: Despite being widely promoted, protein supplementation's overall effectiveness during demanding basketball schedules remains unclear. This study investigated whether increased protein intake can accelerate recovery of muscle function during a 6-day congested basketball microcycle consisting of three consecutive games while accounting for the impact of playing time.

Methods: In a randomized, two-trial, cross-over, double-blind repeated measures design, eighteen male basketball players were assigned to a high (High PT) or a moderate (Mod PT) playing time group and participated in two trials, receiving daily either milk protein (PRO trial) or an isoenergetic amount of carbohydrates.
