Identification and sequence analysis of the keratin-associated protein 24-1 (KAP24-1) gene homologue in sheep
(Elsevier, 2012-12-10)
Keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are major structural components of hair and wool fibres, and play a critical role in determining the properties of the fibre. While over 100 KAP genes that have been grouped into 27 KAP ...
Microbiological assessment of four probiotic feed supplements used by the dairy industry in New Zealand
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of the New Zealand Veterinary Association, 2013)
Since Metchnikoff’s publication ‘‘The Prolongation of Life’’ (Metchnikoff 1908) proposed the use of live bacteria to improve health, a precise definition of probiotics has yet to be formulated, however a widely held ...
Short communication: Grazing pattern of dairy cows that were selected for divergent residual feed intake as calves
(Elsevier on behalf of American Dairy Science Association (ADSA), 2015-09)
The aim of this study was to investigate and assess differences in the grazing pattern of 2 groups of mature dairy cows selected as calves for divergent residual feed intake (RFI). Sixteen Holstein-Friesian cows (471±31kg ...
Oral delivery of bovine lactoferrin by using pectin- and chitosan-modified liposomes and solid lipid particles: improvement of stability of lactoferrin
(John Wiley & Sons on behalf of the American Peptide Society (APS), 2015-10)
A critical problem associated with delivery of bovine lactoferrin (bLf) by the oral route is low bioavailability, which is derived from the enzymatic degradation in the gastrointestinal tract and poor permeation across the ...
Binding of vitamin A by casein micelles in commercial skim milk
(American Dairy Science Association, Elsevier, and Federation of Animal Science Societies, 2013-02)
Recent studies have shown that reassembled micelles formed by caseinates and purified casein fractions (α s - and β-casein) bind to hydrophobic compounds, including curcumin, docosahexaenoic acid, and vitamin D. However, ...
Analysis of adoption trends of in-parlor technologies over a 10-year period for labor saving and data capture on pasture-based dairy farms
(Elsevier on behalf of the American Dairy Association ®, 2020-11-06)
The use of precision technology is increasingly seen as an option to improve productivity, animal welfare, resource use efficiency, and workplace features on dairy farms. There is limited research related to longitudinal ...
Novel viscoelastic gelling agent with unique physico-chemical properties
(Elsevier, 2021-05-15)
A novel innovative viscoelastic gelling agent (novel gel, NG) has been developed by combining citric acid (CA) and disodium 5-guanylate (DG). NG has the potential to replace other gelling agents such as gelatine, which has ...
Dairy cows increase ingestive mastication and reduce ruminative chewing when grazing chicory and plantain
(Elsevier on behalf of the American Dairy Science Association, 2013-12)
Although the nutritive value of chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) and plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.) has been thoroughly studied, little is known about the grazing behavior of cattle feeding on chicory and plantain swards. ...
Strategic grazing management towards sustainable intensification at tropical pasture-based dairy systems
(Elsevier, 2018-09-15)
Agricultural systems are responsible for environmental impacts that can be mitigated through the adoption of more sustainable principles. Our objective was to investigate the influence of two pre-grazing targets (95% and ...
Effect of ultra-high pressure homogenization on the interaction between bovine casein micelles and ritonavir
(Springer on behalf of the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists, 2015-03)
Purpose: The aim of this work was to develop a milk-based powder formulation appropriate for pediatric delivery of ritonavir (RIT). Methods: Ultra-high pressure homogenization (UHPH) at 0.1, 300 and 500 MPa was used to ...
