When good milk turns badwilliam Kisaalita has cold milk on his mind. The tissue engineer runs a program at the University of Georgia in the US that develops new technologies to help farmers in his native Uganda,
But now he has turned his attention to milk producers in his home country. Many small-scale Ugandan farmers own a few cows,
which are milked twice a day to sell locally or to larger dairies. But here's the thing-for it to stay fresh,
the milk has to be cooled oe easier said than done in areas with intermittent or no electricity.
I've seen farmers pour their milk away at the end of the day Kisaalita says. Sometimes as much as half of it.
 And when sour milk is poured away, so too are profits and a valuable source of nutrition.
The United nations, in fact, estimates that 27%of all milk in Uganda goes to waste, much of it due to spoilage.
So Kisaalita and his students began building a small-scale milk chiller that could hold 20 litres of the white stuff.
Traditionally, big dairy machines have an outer and inner tank with insulation in the space between.
Compressors, condensers and refrigerants are pumped through the system to rapidly chill the milk and keep it Cool it's a system that requires a constant electrical power,
and use a fraction of the biogas to run the milk chiller. The rest could be used for cooking or lighting.
As an alternative, he developed a milk chiller that runs on propane, which is cheaper and widely available locally.
and then add more milk in the morning. Then she could wait for the buyer who will give her the best price
because she knows the milk won't go bad. Kissalita is not the first person to try to solve the problem of keeping milk cool in soaring temperatures.
which the milk  containers  are placed. A big advantage of the system is that it can be made using local materials
and adapted for use to store everything from milk, fruit and certain medicines. In Ghana, for example, a modified design allows the mama mboga oe ladies who run market stalls oe to display her fruit
when it comes to chilling milk. One of these is a US company called Promethean Power systems
and consumes more milk than any other country in the world. You have a quality issue,
You have to race warm milk from thousands of villages to large collection centres, twice a day.
And if you don't chill milk within four hours of milking the cow the bacteria grows to a point where it just goes bad.
or care so much, about how milk is produced and stored in India. The start of that process began
In 2007, they went to India to test their business plan and that's when White and his partner, Sorin Grama, first heard about the milk problem.
if there was a way to develop a cost-effective way to chill the milk more locally,
The company recently field tested a 750 litre device with India's largest private dairy.
The cost for Promethean's chiller is around $9, 000-a good price point for bigger Indian dairies, White notes,
The modified design incorporates a wireless device that can send employees text messages about the amount of milk in the tank,
Yogurt will be encased in a strawberry pouch, for instance. You could wash and eat the packaging, like the skin of an apple,
The newly wrapped ice cream and yogurt will be available later this month at the lab store in Paris,

Kenya s cows are the top milk producers in Africa, giving 4 billion liters of milk a year,
Kenya, for instance, leads East Africa in dairy and wheat production, while neighboring Uganda produces surpluses of maize and other staples;

#New protein discovery could change biotech forever The quest started with trying to make better yogurt.
#Originally, Phillipe Horvath and Rodolphe Barrangou, scientists at Danesco, now part of Dupont, were hoping to find a better way to make yogurt.
which would be useful in making yogurt and perhaps in manufacturing drugs. But he was quick to realize something else:
Everyone has fun learning about dairy products and then trying their hand at milking Maggie the cow.
and agriculture ministries coordinated their efforts poorly before they ordered a cull of more than 50,000 dairy goats in 2009,
For years, researchers tried to remove the allergy-inducing milk protein beta-lactoglobulin from cow's milk
They inserted DNA encoding a version of this microrna into the genome to create genetically modified cow embryos that they hoped would grow into cows without the allergen in their milk.
Out of 100 embryos, one calf yielded beta-globulin-free milk.""This isn t a quick process,
Wagner says he has tasted not the milk from his special cow because he s not permitted to under New zealand law."
In the world of recycling mixed plastics (everything beyond water bottles milk jugs and plastic bags) were considered a dead end.
when an infant was fed exclusively milk when supplemental food started and at what age it was weaned said Katie Hinde professor of human evolutionary biology at Harvard university and an affiliate scientist at the UC Davis Primate Center.
when the infant was fed exclusively on mother's milk and the weaning process from mineral traces in teeth.
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
Studies show that dairy and beef cattle with an enriched diet of flaxseed and other omega-3 rich grains have fewer respiratory diseases.

and the quality of its milk deteriorates. The stockperson can detect the signs of inflammation in the milk
when the cow is milked but is it possible to recognise the signs of this diseases in other ways and even earlier?
However an attentive stockperson may be able to detect the signs of an incipient inflammation in milk two hours before this shows the doctoral dissertation of Jutta Kauppi head of Animal Production Research at MTT Agrifood
The study showed that it is in the milk that the first symptoms of a disease can be detected
However it is difficult to detect behaviour changes and alterations in milk quality early enough.
Changes in cow behaviour including restlessness proved promising indicators for an incipient change in health status. To our surprise changes in milk composition were identifiable before such symptoms were evident
The study also investigated alterations in cow behaviour in relation to successful completion of robotic milking procedure as well as in dairy management practices
The milk extracted from the cow is also unsuitable for the food chain causing substantial loss due to treatment with antibiotics
and milk researchers say. Methanogens are additionally a factor in human nutrition. The organisms live in the large intestine where they enhance the breakdown of food.
