Nitrate may lower methane production in ruminants by competing with methanogenesis for available hydrogen the rumen. This study evaluated effect of 4 levels dietary nitrate addition on enteric production, emission, feed intake, rumen fermentation, nutrient digestibility, microbial protein synthesis, and blood methemoglobin. In a 4×4 Latin square design lactating Danish Holstein dairy cows fitted rumen, duodenal, ileal cannulas were assigned to calcium ammonium levels: control, low, medium,...
The current dramatic increase of antibiotic resistant bacteria has revitalised the interest in bacteriophages as alternative antibacterial treatment. Meanwhile, development bioinformatics methods for analysing genomic data places high-throughput approaches phage characterization within reach. Here, we present HostPhinder, a tool aimed at predicting bacterial host phages by examining genome sequence. Using reference database 2196 with known hosts, HostPhinder predicts species query most...
The milk fat profile of the Danish Holstein (DH) and Jersey (DJ) show clear differences. Identification genomic regions, genes biological pathways underlying biosynthesis will improve understanding biology bovine production may provide new possibilities to change composition by selective breeding. In this study a genome wide association scan (GWAS) in DH DJ was performed for detailed fatty acid (FA) using HD SNP array subsequently pathway analysis based on data performed. GWAS identified...
Phage therapy has regained interest in recent years due to the alarming spread of antibiotic resistance. Whilst phage cocktails are commonly sold pharmacies countries such as Georgia and Russia, this is not case western regulatory agencies requiring a thorough characterization drug. Here, DNA sequencing constituent biological entities constitutes first step. The pyophage (PYO) cocktail one main commercial products Georgian Eliava Institute Bacteriophage, Microbiology Virology used cure skin...
There is increasing concern that the intensification of dairy production reduces concentrations nutritionally desirable compounds in milk. This study therefore compared important quality parameters (protein and fatty acid profiles; α-tocopherol carotenoid concentrations) milk from four systems with contrasting intensities (in terms feeding regimens milking systems). The several (β-lactoglobulin, omega-3 acids, omega-3/omega-6 ratio, conjugated linoleic c9t11, and/or carotenoids) decreased...
Abstract Background For several years, in human nutrition there has been a focus on the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) and saturated (SFA) found bovine milk. The positive health-related properties UFA versus SFA have increased demand for food products with higher UFA. To be able to change content milk by breeding it is important know whether genetic component underlying individual FA We estimated heritability Danish Holstein. this purpose we used information SNP markers instead...
Dairy bulk tank milk was sampled during 1 yr from 2 conventional (C1 and C2) organic dairy (O1) for studying the seasonal variation as well between dairies in composition properties of fat. The fatty acids (FA) triglycerides (TAG) fat analyzed, melting were analyzed by use differential scanning calorimetry. main differences content FA included a higher content, greater proportion C18:0, smaller C16:0 C2, which could be associated with frequency Jersey herds supplying to this dairy....
An investigation of the influence air-drying, freeze-drying, γ- and β-irradiation storage for up to 10 months on composition volatile compounds in thyme herb (Thymus vulgaris L.) is presented. Altogether, 70 constituents were identified (53 positively 17 tentatively), including those considered most important flavour. Quantitative results did not reveal significant differences irradiated non-irradiated samples, reduction amount some after drying was comparable air-dried freeze-dried herb....
Abstract The content of aroma compounds in 10 different raspberry varieties was examined and compared with sensory evaluation jam made these varieties. Raspberry ketone (4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-butane-2-one) αaL- βbT-ionone were found to be the most important for all while linalool geraniol considerable levels some pure depend on a relatively high ketone. If other present amounts impression flowery or like synthetic flavour. In level oxidation products as acetoin hexanoic acid high. These have...
Abstract BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to investigate how some small changes in the forage content maize and lucerne silage ration between concentrate diet dairy cows affect milk quality. Milk quality assessed by quantitative descriptive sensory analysis tocopherols carotenoids as well fatty acid composition. RESULTS: Changing ratio from 5:1 2:1 increased fat (23–27%) C18:3 n 3 (15%), reduced stale aroma creamy flavour. Increasing proportion concentrates feed 0.2 0.4 energy...
SUMMARY There is an increasing interest in pasture-based dairy systems Europe, mainly because of production costs for intensive dairying. Milk a matrix compounds that influence nutritional and manufacturing properties, many dependent on husbandry linked to (increase pasture intake, forage : concentrate ratio, clover inclusion swards/silages use alternative breeds). The present study investigated the impact three grazing-based with contrasting feeding intensity or reliance intakes...
