Reproductive technology revolutionized dairy production during the past century. Artificial
insemination was first successfully applied to cattle in the early 1900s. The next major …

Fatty acids (FAs) of milk fat are considered to be important nutritional components of the
diets of a significant portion of the human population and substantially affect human health …

High producing dairy cows generally receive in the diet up to 5–6% of fat. This is a relatively
low amount of fat in the diet compared to diets in monogastrics; however, dietary fat is …

Simple Summary Metabolic disorders are a key problem in the transition period of dairy
cows and often appear before the onset of further health problems. Problems derive from …

Casein is the collective name for a family of milk proteins. In bovine milk, casein comprises
four peptides: α S1, α S2, β, and κ, differing in their amino acid, phosphorus and …

Although increasingly targeted in animal nutrition, black soldier fly larvae or prepupae (BSF,
Hermetia illucens L. 1758) require the characterization and modulation of their fatty acid …

Background The molecular events associated with regulation of milk fat synthesis in the
bovine mammary gland remain largely unknown. Our objective was to study mammary …

For several decades, breeding goals in dairy cattle focussed on increased milk production.
However, many functional traits have negative genetic correlations with milk yield, and …

The demand for high-quality milk is increasing worldwide. The efficiency of milk synthesis
can be improved by taking advantage of the accumulated knowledge of the transcriptional …

A crucial role for both insulin and mTOR in the regulation of milk protein synthesis is
emerging. Bovine mammary biopsies harvested during late-pregnancy through end of …
