Transfer of aflatoxin from feed to milk and curd in Sarda ewes with different milk production level [PDF]
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a toxin produced by some strains of Aspergillus growing in feedstuffs. Dairy animals fed with diet containing AFB1 excrete aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) into the milk.

Abstract BACKGROUND Non‐thermal technologies are becoming of high interest in dairy production as sustainable tools to enhance food safety. Raw milk cheeses present microbiological challenges due to spoilage and the absence of real thermal treatments. This study investigates an industrial application of gaseous ozone to control spoilage microflora on ...

Comparison of traditional and genomic breeding programs for organic and low input dairy cattle accounting for traits relevant in different macro-climatic zones [PDF]
In the past decade, successful selection on production traits for dairy cattle has greatly increased milk production. Recently, selection indices for female fertility were gradually and increasingly introduced into the overall breeding goals for dairy ...

Abstract BACKGROUND Global food insecurity and the fact that food production contributes around 30% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is a major planetary challenge. Ruminant products are widely consumed since they are macro‐ and micronutrient dense; however, ruminants produce enteric methane (CH4), a potent GHG.
