The heavier stable isotope of nitrogen-15 found in manure mimics the isotopic effect of a diet rich in meat and milk.
It can be found in milk yogurts and other dairy products as well as snacks cereal bars and candy.
Potentially hazardous foods such as milk cheeses and raw meat and poultry also are popular at these venues.
In the past 60 years we paid more attention to milk or beef production as a sign of herd success but even as milk production goes up the animal's fertility goes down
which means it's time to pay more attention to male fertility now. The researchers identified 1274 genes in the male specific region of the bovine Y chromosome compared to the 31 to 78 genes associated in the Y chromosomes of various primates.

For a long time insulin was thought not to play a direct role in regulating the milk-making cells of the human breast
Considering that 20 percent of women between 20 and 44 are prediabetic it's conceivable that up to 20 percent of new mothers in the United states are at risk for low milk supply due to insulin dysregulation.
Dr. Nommsen-Rivers and her colleagues were able to use a noninvasive method to capture mammary gland RNA--a chain of molecules that are blueprints for making specified proteins--in samples of human breast milk.
This approach revealed a highly sensitive portrait of the genes being expressed in human milk-making cells.
They discovered an orchestrated switching on and off of various genes as the mammary gland transitions from secreting small amounts of immunity-boosting colostrum in the first days after giving birth to the copious production of milk in mature lactation.
In particular the PTPRF gene which is known to suppress intracellular signals that are triggered usually by insulin binding to its receptor on the cell surface may serve as a biomarker linking insulin resistance with insufficient milk supply.

#Organic milk is poorer in iodine than conventional milkmilk from organic farms has a lower concentration of elements like zinc iodine
and selenium than milk produced by conventional farming methods. The discrepancy is due to the absence of mineral substances in the diets of the cows reared.
For this reason researchers at the University of Santiago de compostela compared the mineral and toxic elements of organic and conventional milk taken from over thirty farms located in the northeast of the Iberian peninsula.
The results demonstrated that mineral element content in organic milk is compared low with conventional milk
and zinc--are higher than those found in organic milk Marta LÃ pez researcher at the University of Santiago de compostela
In the researcher's opinion the fact that organic milk contains lower levels of elements such as copper
because milk is not the primary source of these elements in our diets. Iodine is another matter LÃ pez goes on to clarify.
in other countries like England with milk. In Spain the lack of sufficient iodine in some kinds of milk is especially relevant for children due to the importance of iodine in neurological development
but also to people with diets low in salt. Iodine is necessary for the metabolism especially during pregnancy and infancy.
In any case although one might draw the conclusion that conventional milk is more nutritious in terms of minerals LÃ pez is cautious:
Organic milk may have lower content of certain minerals but it has other properties that are much more beneficial than those of conventional milk.

Many producers inject cows with rbst to help them produce more milk. In their experiment the researchers gave rbst to a test group of cows
They discovered that the rbst group produced more milk per cow. When cows produce more milk greenhouse gas emissions decrease
because farms need fewer cows. Dr. Kim Stackhouse National Cattleman's Beef Association Director of Sustainability said animal agriculture has reduced emissions through the use of technologies.
In 2007 Americans consumed approximately 17.4 million metric tons of fluid milk--milk consumed as a drink
or with cereal rather than milk used in dairy products such as cheese yogurt and ice cream. The dairy industry has set a goal of 25 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020.
The U of A researchers'cradle-to-grave life-cycle analysis of milk will provide guidance for producers processors
and stages of milk production from the fertilizer used to grow the animal's feed to waste disposal of packaging after consumer use.
and wastethe researchers found that for every kilogram of milk consumed in the United states per year 2. 05 kilograms of greenhouse gases on average are emitted over the entire supply chain to produce process
and distribute that milk. This is equivalent to approximately 17.4 pounds per gallon. The greenhouse gases were measured as carbon dioxide equivalents and included methane refrigerants and other gases that trap radiation.
The researchers identified many areas where the industry can reduce impact within feed and milk production processing and distribution retail and the supply chain.
Their study was published as a special issue Carbon and Water Footprint of U s. Milk From Farm to Table of the International Dairy Journal in April.

They found that the Neanderthal baby was fed exclusively on mother's milk for seven months followed by seven months of supplementation--a similar pattern to present-day humans.
Although there is some variation among human cultures the accelerated transition to foods other than mother's milk is thought to have emerged in our ancestral history due in part to more cooperative infant care
Rather than giving full bottles of formula that make it hard for the baby to return to the breast ELF is a small amount of supplementation with a clear end point that alleviates some of the stress new mothers feel about producing enough milk.
Women do not immediately produce high volumes of milk after childbirth. Instead at first mothers secrete small amounts of colostrum
which contains high concentrations of nutrients and antibodies for the baby. During this period babies often lose weight
Many mothers develop concerns about their milk supply which is the most common reason they stop breastfeeding in the first three months said Flaherman.

and asthma symptoms in students that have a milk allergy. Casein a milk protein is used often in low-powder chalk.
When milk allergic children inhale chalk particles containing casein life-threatening asthma attacks and other respiratory issues can occur.
when the particles are inhaled by children with milk allergy coughing wheezing and shortness of breath can occur.
Milk allergy affects an estimated 300000 children in the United states according to the ACAAI. Although it has been believed the majority of children will outgrow milk allergy by age three recent studies contradict this theory showing school aged children are affected still.
However 80 percent of children with milk allergy will likely outgrow it by age 16.
Chalk isn't the only item in a school setting that can be troublesome to milk allergic students said James Sublett MD chair of the ACAAI Indoor Environment Committee.
Parents with milk allergic children should ask to have seated their child in the back of the classroom where they are less likely to inhale chalk dust advises Sublett.

#Skimmed/semi-skimmed milk does not curb excess toddler weight gain, study findsthe American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Heart Association recommend that all children drink low fat
or skimmed milk after the age of 2 to reduce their saturated fat intake and ward off excess weight gain.
But the evidence to back up this stance is mixed somewhat say the authors who wanted to find out whether milk consumption patterns among 2 year olds affected weight gain.
Researchers asked the parents/primary caregivers of almost 11000 children about their milk consumption--skimmed 1%semi-skimmed 2%milk fat full fat
and how often they drank not only various types of milk but also fruit juice squash fizzy drinks
The prevalence of skimmed/semi-skimmed milk consumption was also higher among the overweight/obese kids with 14%of heavy 2 year olds
The average weight of children who drank 2%/full fat milk was also lower than that of kids who drank skimmed/semi-skimmed milk even after accounting for other influential factors.
When the researchers looked at weight gain trends over time they found no overall differences between those who drank skimmed/semi-skimmed milk
and those who drank 2%/full fat milk. This suggests that low fat milk confers no overall advantage
although it is possible that overweight kids might have gained more weight had drunk they not it suggest the authors.
Nevertheless those who regularly drank skimmed/semi-skimmed milk who were not overweight or obese at the age of 2 were 57%more likely to become so by the age of 4. The authors point out that the higher prevalence of skimmed/semi-skimmed milk consumption among overweight/obese children might reflect a parental wish to trim these children's waistlines
as logic would suggest that lower fat intake equals fewer calories. But they suggest that perhaps the reality is more complex.
Milk fat may increase a feeling of fullness so reduce the appetite for other fatty/calorie dense foods they say.
Rather than recommending low fat milk it may be better to stick with other weight control options for

The category of high-fat dairy products researchers tracked included cream whole milk condensed or evaporated milk pudding ice cream custard flan and also cheeses and yogurts that were not low-fat or nonfat.
In general the women studied reported that they consumed low-fat milk and butter most often and they consumed relatively limited amounts of low-fat dairy desserts low-fat cheese and high-fat yogurt.
Overall low-fat dairy intake was greater (median 0. 8 servings per day) than high-fat dairy (median 0. 5 servings per day.

#Goats milk with antimicrobial lysozyme speeds recovery from diarrheamilk from goats that were modified genetically to produce higher levels of a human antimicrobial protein has proved effective in treating diarrhea in young pigs demonstrating the potential for food products from transgenic animals to one
day also benefit human health report researchers at the University of California Davis. The study is the first on record to show that goats'milk carrying elevated levels of the antimicrobial lysozyme a protein found in human breast milk can successfully treat diarrhea
The findings slated to appear March 13 in the online scientific journal PLOS ONE offer hope that such milk may eventually help prevent human diarrheal diseases that each year claim the lives of 1. 8 million children around the world
In this study Murray and colleagues fed young pigs milk from goats that were modified genetically to produce in their milk higher levels of lysozyme a protein that naturally occurs in the tears saliva and milk of all mammals.
Although lysozyme is produced at very high levels in human breast milk the milk of goats
and cows contains very little lysozyme prompting the effort to boost lysozyme levels in the milk of those animals using genetic modification.
and diarrhea and also encourages the growth of other beneficial intestinal bacteria it is considered to be one of the main components of human milk that contribute to the health and well-being of breast-fed infants.
and because pigs already produce a moderate amount of lysozyme in their milk. Half of the pigs in the study were fed pasteurized milk that came from the transgenic goats
and carried greater amounts of lysozyme--68 percent of the level found in human breast milk.
The other half of the pigs were fed pasteurized milk that came from nontransgenic goats and thus contained very little lysozyme.
The study found that although both groups of pigs recovered from the infection and resulting diarrhea the young pigs fed the lysozyme-rich milk recovered much more quickly than did the young pigs that received goats'milk without enhanced levels of lysozyme.
Overall the pigs fed the lysozyme milk were dehydrated less had less intestinal inflammation suffered less damage to the inner intestines
And the researchers detected no adverse affects associated with the lysozyme-rich milk. The lysozyme-enhanced milk used in this study came from a transgenic line of dairy goats developed in 1999 by Murray co-author Elizabeth Maga
and their colleagues to carry the gene for producing human lysozyme in their milk. Story Source:

#3-D printing using old milk jugssuppose you could replace Made in China with Made in my garage.
Milk jugs on the other hand are a costly nuisance either to recycle or to bury in a landfill.
They cut the labels off milk jugs washed the plastic and shredded it. Then they ran it through a homemade device that melts
Milk jugs are made of high-density polyethylene or HDPE which is not ideal for 3d printing. HDPE is a little more challenging to print with Pearce says.
They also calculated that they used less energy than it would take to recycle milk jugs conventionally.
Twenty milk jugs gets you about 1 kilogram of plastic filament which currently costs $30 to $50 online.
The pilot organic farms we looked at emit around 200 grams less CO2 per kilogram of milk than conventional farms with the same milk yield.
The study published Jan 31 in the advance online version of the Journal of Perinatology showed that every 10 milliliters of human milk per kilogram that a very low birth weight infant received during the first 28
A daily dose of 25 to 49.99 milliliters of human milk per kilogram cut NICU costs by more than $20000 while 50 milliliters per kilogram per day lowered NICU costs by nearly $32000.
The research which was led by Dr. Aloka L. Patel is the first report of an economic impact of an average daily dose of human milk for days 1 to 28 of life on risk of infection
The substantial NICU hospital cost savings associated with increased dosages of human milk are likely to offset the maternal and institutional costs of providing
and feeding human milk such as breast pump rental lactation care providers and milk storage Patel stated.

Choosing low-fat milk or yogurt over cream can increase intake of protein calcium and Vitamin d while limiting intake of saturated fats.
#Cows fed flaxseed produce more nutritious dairy productsdairy cows that are fed flaxseed produce more nutritious milk according to a new study by Oregon State university.
Their milk contained more omega-3 fatty acids and less saturated fat the study found. Diets high in saturated fat can increase cholesterol
Researchers attempted to pinpoint the amount of flaxseed that would maximize the amount of omega-3 in milk
Collaborators in OSU's food science and technology department assisted in turning milk into butter and fresh cheese
The study found that feeding cows up to six pounds of extruded flaxseed improved the fat profile without negatively affecting the production and texture of the milk and other dairy products.
At six pounds per day saturated fatty acids in whole milk fat dropped 18 percent polyunsaturated fatty acids increased 82 percent and omega-3 levels rose 70 percent compared to feeding no flaxseed.
Many consumers already show a willingness to pay extra for value-added foods like omega-3 enriched milk he said.

#Nations that consume a lot of milk also win a lot of Nobel prizesnations that consume a lot of milk and milk products also tend to have a lot of Nobel laureates among their populations suggest the authors of a letter published in Practical Neurology.
As chocolate is combined often with milk could it be the amount of milk/milk products consumed per head that fuels Nobel prize success?
They looked at the 2007 data from the Food and agriculture organization on per capita milk consumption in 22 countries as well as the information provided by the author of the chocolate theory
it also consumes the most milk per head of the population getting through 340kg every year.
But it also has the lowest milk consumption of the countries studied--at around 25kg a year.
Is milk consumption therefore simply a reflection of a strong educational system or do Nobel prize winners celebrate by drinking it query the authors?

#Supplements and cows milk play biggest roles in determining Vitamin d levels in childrentaking a Vitamin d supplement
and drinking cow's milk are the two most important factors that determine how much Vitamin d is in a child's body new research has found.
and drinking two cups of cows milk a day. Both of those factors were better at predicting a child's Vitamin d stores than skin colour
and cow's milk said Dr. Maguire who was surprised to find that 57 per cent of the children were taking a regular Vitamin d supplement.
Research published by Dr. Maguire in the journal Pediatrics in December found that drinking two cups of cow's milk per day was enough to maintain adequate Vitamin d levels in most children.
Drinking more cow's milk could deplete iron stores in children's bodies. The study published January 14 was funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the St michael's Foundation.

#Fermented milk made by lactococcus lactis H61 improves skin of healthy young womenthere has been much interest in the potential for using probiotic bacteria for treating skin diseases and other disorders.
Japanese researchers have now found that milk that has been fermented using a probiotic dairy starter can also benefit the skin of young healthy women reports the Journal of Dairy Scienceâ.
The investigators conducted a randomized double-blind trial to evaluate the effects of fermented milk produced using Lactococcus lactis strain H61 as a starter bacterium (H61-fermented milk) on the general health and various skin properties
Twenty-three healthy young women 19-21 years of age received either H61-fermented milk or conventional yogurt for four weeks.
Sebum content in the cheek rose significantly in the H61-fermented milk group but not in the conventional yogurt group.
The change in oxidative status was the same regardless of yogurt or fermented milk consumption.
