Interest in methods that routinely and accurately measure and predict animal characteristics
is growing in importance, both for quality characterization of livestock products and for …

The main odd-and branched-chain fatty acids (OBCFA) in milk of dairy cows are isomers of
tridecanoic acid (iso C13: 0), tetradecanoic acid (iso C14: 0), pentadecanoic acid (C15: 0 …

Increasing consumer concern exists over the relationship between food composition and
human health. Because of the known effects of fatty acids on human health, the …

To manage negative energy balance and ketosis in dairy farms, rapid and cost-effective
detection is needed. Among the milk biomarkers that could be useful for this purpose …

Phenotypes have been reviewed to select for lower-emitting animals in order to decrease
the environmental footprint of dairy cattle products. This includes direct selection for breath …

The goal of this study was to find a procedure to standardize dairy milk mid-infrared spectra
from different Fourier transform mid-infrared spectrophotometers (different brands or models) …

Sustainable development of the agricultural industry, in particular, the production of milk and
feed for farm animals, requires accurate, fast, and non-invasive diagnostic tools. Currently …

Data on metabolic profiles of blood sampled at d 3, 6, 9, and 21 in lactation from 117
lactations (99 cows) were used for unsupervised k-means clustering. Blood metabolic …

Because of the environmental impact of methane (CH 4), it is of great interest to reduce CH 4
emission of dairy cattle and selective breeding might contribute to this. However, this …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of mid-infrared spectroscopy in
predicting milk protein and free amino acid (FAA) composition in bovine milk. Milk samples …
