Summary: This study investigated the nutritional compositions of marine microalgae from different phyla under the same conditions. Results showed variations in protein, carbohydrate, lipid, amino acid, fatty acid, vitamin, and pigment compositions. The principal component analysis and grey relational analysis were performed to evaluate their nutritional values. These findings have significant implications for the utilization of marine microalgae nutrients in aquaculture and other industries.

Summary: The study showed that HTST treatment preserves the nutritional quality of donor human milk better and has lesser impact on thermosensitive components. After HTST processing, lactose concentration and the percentage of phospholipids and PUFAs increased in DHM, while fat concentration and the percentage of monoacylglycerides and SFAs decreased.

Summary: This study evaluated the ability to trace milks sourced from sheep with different grazing access times using milk biomarkers. The results showed that milk biomarkers could accurately differentiate milk from sheep with varying grazing times and estimate the percentage of herbage in their diet. These findings are valuable for assessing the benefits of grazing and the contribution of herbage to sheep diet.

Summary: The African region faces high undernutrition burden and neonatal mortality rates, making breastfeeding crucial for child health. However, there is limited evidence on human milk composition from African women, especially in the context of food insecurity. This study analyzed the nutritional components in the breast milk of 48 Central-African women and found differences in milk types and nutrients compared to Western mother milk.

Summary: This study investigated the chemical and nutritional composition of Pamir yak milk and compared it with goat and cow milk. The results showed that Pamir yak milk had higher protein, fat, lactose, and total solid contents than goat and cow milk. It was also rich in minerals and B vitamins. These findings suggest that Pamir yak milk is a promising alternative food that can contribute to human health.

Summary: In this study, the triglyceride and fatty acid composition of different types of milk samples and infant formulae were analyzed using UPLC-ESI-MS and GC techniques. The results showed that the triglyceride and fatty acid composition varied significantly among different milk samples. Furthermore, the fatty acid profiles of human milk and yak milk were unique, which has implications for optimizing dairy product composition.

Summary: This study investigated the weight distribution and nutritional composition of various cuts of herring obtained during the filleting process. The co-products were found to be rich in lipids, proteins, fatty acids, amino acids, minerals, and vitamins. The nutritional value of the co-products was often higher than that of the fillet, making them excellent sources for functional food and nutraceuticals.

Summary: The study aimed to detect polymorphisms in the THRSP gene and analyze their impact on fatty acid composition in milk of Jersey and Holstein-Friesian cattle. A significant association between the analyzed SNP and fatty acid content in milk was found, suggesting its potential as a marker for milk quality improvement. Variants of the THRSP gene may play a role in the de novo synthesis of fatty acids in lactating mammary glands, with differing activity levels.

Summary: This study compared the sensory properties of milk and uncooked pressed cheese from cows fed with different forage methods, and found that cheeses from cows fed fresh herbage had a yellower color and more intense barnyard and dry fruit flavors, perceived as creamier and having less lactic odor. In contrast, cheeses from cows fed conserved forages showed fewer sensory differences compared to those from cows fed fresh herbage.

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: Comparing meat and eating quality from two cross-breeds of pigs and two feeding strategies, it was found that restrictive feeding led to smaller but leaner carcasses and tenderer BF, while meat from NORM pigs was sweeter. Additionally, restrictive feeding altered the fatty acid composition in the meat.

Summary: The study compares three protein extraction methods on Ulva fenestrata and finds that extraction at pH 8.5 yields the highest protein and best solubility. Alkaline extraction methods result in higher solubility and amino acid cross-links compared to mechanical extraction, but all methods show similar in vitro digestibility.

Summary: The objective of this study was to examine the effects of feeding fresh grass harvested at different maturity stages on various aspects of dairy cow performance and milk quality. The results showed that feeding fresh grass compared to silage did not affect dry matter intake (DMI), energy-corrected milk (ECM) yield, or methane (CH4) yield. However, concentrate supplementation increased milk production and influenced milk quality, while reducing the environmental impact. Feeding less mature grass increased DMI and milk yield, but had no effect on CH4 yield.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of using pulp silage of grass fractionated once or twice on fiber kinetics, protein value, and production of CH4 in dairy cows. The results showed that feeding pulp silage of grass fractionated twice resulted in better fiber digestibility and protein value compared to feeding silage of chopped grass. Further research on the effects of physical processing of forage on fiber kinetics is needed.

Summary: Replacing imported protein with local protein sources in pork production can improve animal productivity and reduce climate impact without adverse effects on meat quality. Using locally produced protein sources can lower the carbon footprint of pork and potentially provide sustainable alternatives to imported protein. Further studies are needed to quantify the climate and environmental impact of Green protein.

Summary: The combination of milk and rice protein did not significantly affect the growth of weaned pigs, while a diet consisting purely of plant-based proteins led to reduced growth, likely due to lower feed intake and lower-than-expected amino acid digestibility of rapeseed protein. Milk protein did not seem to specifically stimulate growth factors or biomarkers of growth via insulin and IGF-1 signaling pathways beyond the favorable amino acid composition and digestibility it provided.

Summary: Epigenetic marks can explain part of the phenotypic variance in animal breeding models. Nanopore sequencing shows high correlation with bisulphite sequencing in identifying DNA methylation marks. Different sequencing methods highlight differentially methylated genes and positions of economic interest in animal breeding.
