Summary: The study investigated the effect of different forage species, parity, milking time, and days in milk on milk fatty acid profile and transfer efficiency in dairy cows. The results showed that forage sources such as red clover and white clover increased health-promoting fatty acid components, while tall fescue increased the proportion of CLA in milk.

Summary: This study evaluated the complete substitution of silage pulp (SP) for grass-clover silage in the diet of dairy cows and its impact on milk production. The results showed that cows receiving the silage-based diet had higher milk yield and energy corrected milk compared to those receiving the SP-based diet. Additionally, the silage-based diet led to higher milk protein and milk fat yields. However, diets did not significantly affect milk composition, body condition score, or body weight.

Summary: Measurements of energy balance require the use of respiration chambers, but the GreenFeed system offers a less expensive alternative. This study used the GreenFeed system to estimate energy balance in early-lactating dairy cows and found good concordance with predicted energy balance from Finnish feeding standards. Further validation of the GreenFeed system is needed for a wider range of dietary conditions.

Summary: Reducing the dietary crude protein concentration can have positive effects on milk production in terms of financial cost and environmental impact. Two studies found that reducing the protein concentration to 150 g/kg had little effect on nutrient digestibility or milk performance, but increased nitrogen use efficiency in dairy cows.

Summary: Hay milk is a traditional dairy product protected as traditional specialty guaranteed (TSG), with strict regulations to ensure authenticity. The study proposes two analytical approaches using GC-MS and HPLC-HRMS to differentiate milk containing silage, successfully predicting the use of maize or grass silage in cow's diet with 100% recognition. The findings suggest that analytical approaches based on HRMS are a viable authentication method for hay milk.

Summary: The study found that combining whey protein and casein after exercise can regulate the blood branched-chain amino acid profile, reduce muscle soreness, but did not show advantages in nitrogen balance and protein metabolism compared to whey protein alone.

Summary: The study found that low milk fat is not related to acetate formation in the rumen or hormonal profile. Cows with low milk fat are more efficient at using metabolized energy and have lower heat production. Milk fat content is not influenced by hormones or rumen acetate formation. The number of lactations in dairy cows is inversely correlated with milk fat content.

Summary: Due to the increasing demand for pork, it is important to find efficient and sustainable ways to improve meat quality. This study investigated the effects of alfalfa meal and alfalfa silage on pork quality, and found that alfalfa silage had a greater impact in terms of water-holding capacity, drip loss, and marbling score. Furthermore, the inclusion of alfalfa silage in the diet altered the levels of fatty acids and amino acids in pork, while also improving the intestinal microbiota composition and SCFA levels.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between fatty acids, diet quality scores, and inflammatory markers. The results indicate a positive association between saturated fat and inflammation, while monounsaturated fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and the Mediterranean diet are inversely associated with inflammation.

Summary: The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of proportion and organic matter digestibility (OMD) of grass-clover silage on milk composition. Feeding a high proportion of low-digestible grass-clover silage resulted in a higher content of milk urea nitrogen. Decreasing the grass-clover to maize silage ratio improved the nutritional value of milk fat by decreasing the share of saturated and increased the share of unsaturated fatty acids.

Summary: Animal genetic resources, specifically local donkey breeds, are important for the economy, food production, and cultural identity. This research focused on the production and quality of donkey meat and milk, aiming to establish sustainable utilization programs. The findings suggest that local donkey breeds have potential for meat and milk production based on their unique qualities and products.

Summary: This study investigated the production and ripening process of Antep cheese made with different milk types. It was found that low proteolytic activity during ripening resulted in low REI values for the cheeses. Lipolysis during ripening increased the concentrations of total FFA, especially short-chain FFAs. Goat milk was found to have the highest FFA concentrations, and volatile FFA ratios exceeded 10% in the third month of ripening. The impact of ripening time was more significant than the milk types used in the production.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of different homogenization pressures on the organoleptic quality and stability of pasteurized milk. The results showed that different homogenization pressures had significant effects on the taste and stability of pasteurized milk. Pasteurized milk stored for 72 hours under 150-bar homogenization pressure exhibited the best organoleptic quality and stability.

Summary: The study evaluated 89 predictive equations for N excretion, finding urinary N excretion, total manure N excretion, and N apparently digested to be closely related to N intake. Milk N secretion was better predicted using milk yield as a single independent variable. Dry matter intake was a good predictor of urinary N and manure N, while dietary CP concentration was a good predictor of urinary N and manure N.

Summary: This study developed empirical models to predict enteric methane emissions from sheep using a global database. The models showed that including variables such as body weight and organic matter digestibility improved prediction accuracy. Age-specific equations were also found to enhance prediction performance. The study concluded that predicting sheep methane production requires considering variables such as dry matter intake, body weight, and rumen propionate proportion, and appropriate universal equations can be used across different diets and climatic conditions.

Summary: Feeding grazing Short Horn Zebu cattle with supplements containing different levels of crude protein can improve feed intake, average daily weight gain, carcass yield, and carcass composition. In particular, providing a supplement with 110 g CP kg (-1) DM results in higher alpha-linoleic acid and n6:n3 PUFAs in meat compared to unsupplemented cattle.
