Effects of Schizochytrium powder products supplementation: Enrichment of milk docosahexaenoic acid and rumen microbial composition in lactating dairy cows

Journal of Dairy Science
: Supplementation with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) from microalgae is considered a promising strategy to enhance the n-3 content of bovine milk. However, DHA transfer efficiency into milk is typically low and highly variable.

Probiotic fermented goat milk incorporated with blackberry (Rubus sp.): A novel functional food product

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND This study created functional fermented goat milk by adding blackberry pulp and probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus LA‐5 and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis Bb‐12). The preparation involved two variations of fermented goat milk with blackberry (Rubus sp.), distinguished by the absence (fermented goat milk, FGM) or inclusion

Effects of Dietary Forage Proportion on Feed Intake, Growth Performance, Nutrient Digestibility, and Enteric Methane Emissions of Holstein Heifers at Various Growth Stages

Animals, 2019
Enteric methane (CH4) emissions from young ruminants contribute to a substantial proportion of atmospheric CH4 accumulation. Development of emission inventory and mitigation approaches needs accurate estimation of individual emission from animals under ...

Compound‐Specific Stable Isotope Analysis Improves the Association Between Dairy Fatty Acid Biomarkers and Dairy Intake: A Secondary Analysis

Lipids, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Increasing evidence suggests that dairy consumption may decrease the risk of chronic diseases. However, this association remains unclear due to methodological limitations. As a part of a secondary analysis, we used compound‐specific stable isotope analysis to increase the accuracy of the dairy FA biomarkers (15:0, 17:0), considering that each ...

Mapping the flow of conservation information across Wisconsin farming communities: Evidence from a social network analysis

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Adoption of conservation practices in US agriculture remains limited despite demonstrated environmental and social benefits. Farmer demonstration programmes aim to accelerate conservation adoption by leveraging peer‐to‐peer learning, yet there are unresolved questions about how conservation information moves through farming communities.

A1 β-casein and A2 β-casein: effects on the gastrointestinal motility, digestion, and absorption

Journal of Functional Foods
This study compared A1 and A2 β-casein using a constipated mouse model and ex vivo intestinal sac assays. A2 β-casein significantly improved constipation-related outcomes—enhancing body weight recovery, shortening the first black stool time, increasing ...
