Efficacy of selected probiotic cultures to inhibit Enterobacter sakazakii ATCC 12868 in model reconstituted dairy products
Enterobacter sakazakii ATCC 12868 ( ES ) is a very dangerous opportunistic organism likely to contaminate post-pasteurised dry milk products with a high mortality rate (40–80%). This study evaluated the antimicrobial efficacy of probiotics against ES in reconstituted dried infant formula. Initial study at 30ºC showed that Enterococcus faecium M-74 ( EF ) to exhibit the strongest ...

An automated extraction solution for the determination of Melamine and Cyanuric Acid in Milk Based Products
Abstract The determination of Melamine and Cyanuric Acid go hand in hand with one another. Melamine is an industrial chemical used in the manufacturing of amino resins, plastics, and flame retardants. Cyanuric Acid is produced by the hydrolysis of raw or waste Melamine, followed by crystallization. Melamine is used as a profitable adulterant in milk based products to increase the protein content ...

Milk Production Process: Pledge to Cut Emissions from Dairy Farms
Interest in the increasing carbon footprint of the dairy industry has grown considerably over the past few years and growing greenhouse gas emissions from the milk production process are a contributing factor. A number of greenhouse gases (GHG) are produced from fertiliser production through to consumption and disposal of packaging. Methane is produced as a direct emission from cows and carbon ...

Operationalising eco-efficiency in agriculture: the example of specialised dairy farms in Flanders
Eco-efficiencies of a representative set of Flemish dairy farms were determined for the years 19891990 and 20002001. Eco-efficiency was measured as a combination of nitrogen (N) use efficiency and energy use efficiency, where N use efficiency (l milk kg-1 N surplus) is the ratio between the amount of produced milk and the farm-gate N surplus (= N input − N output). Energy use efficiency (l milk ...

Environmental and Economic Perspectives of Milk Production in Feedlot and Grazing Systems
Abstract Dairy production systems involve large inputs and large outputs. In environmental and economic terms, this means dairying is potentially a large consumer of natural resources and a generator of large amounts of pollutants and waste as green house gases (GHG) and manure. To ensure a sustainable milk production system; it becomes important to understand the environmental and economic ...

Greenhouse gas, animal performance, and bacterial population structure responses to dietary monensin fed to dairy cows
Received for publication January 27, 2009. The present study investigated the effects of a feed additive and rumen microbial modifier, monensin sodium (monensin), on selected variables in lactating dairy cows. Monensin fed cows (MON, 600 mg d–1) were compared with untreated control cows (CON, 0 mg d–1) with respect to the effects of monensin on the production of three greenhouse gases (GHG), ...

Brewer's Grain - Case Study
Brewer's grain is a vegetable residue from the production of beer and other malt beverages. The material has a high nutritional value and is a popular feed supplement for livestock. Dairy farmers consider brewer's grain to be a highly palatable and absorptive feedstock that helps stimulate milk production. However, due to the high moisture content, fresh brewer's grain has a very short shelf ...

Skim, Cream, Butterfat, and Whey: A Process Overview of Milk Centrifugal Separation
High-speed disc stack centrifuges play three key roles in standardized milk production: Clarification: removing foreign matter—like hair, stray cow cells, and dirt Purification: pulling the butterfat from the raw milk in order to produce skim milk and cream Standardization: regulating the fat content of your finished milk by blending some cream back in, so that you can have 1% milk, ...

Wastewater treatment in a milk-processing company
Description of the plant The accruing wastewater from the production of cheese and milk products is collected in a centralised pump sump and given to a first pre-treatment step. This step includes a separation of bigger parts by a sieve and a flocculation step with a dissolved air flotation for elimination of fats and cheese particles. After that, the pre-treatened water is buffered and ...

Ruminants: The importance of feed analysis
Why is it important to have a high-quality feed? The quality of ruminant feed is directly linked with milk production, animal health, as well as farm performance. As feed costs represent a significant number of the total production costs, it is crucial to ensure feed nutritional values and quality throughout the whole year. Therefore, the intake of superior quality TMR and silages can help to ...

Effect of nitrogen application on yield and quality of silage corn after forage legume-grass
Decomposition of forage legume-grass (FLG) sods after turnover will supply N to the next corn (Zea mays L.) crop. For optimum economic grain production typically a starter N application is sufficient. However, the impact of eliminating sidedress N on yield and quality of silage corn in the year after sod turnover (FYC) is not well documented and little is known about the effects of timing of sod ...

Facts about the production of plant-based milk alternatives
Centrifuges are the most efficient type of machines to separate the milk from the product slurry. High g-forces result in maximum clarification and optimum cake dryness including a high flow rate. Modern machines are laid out according to the latest hygienic design standards and can be easily integrated into a fully automated processing line including CIP cleaning. Reliable and efficient ...

Dietary forage impacts on dairy slurry nitrogen availability to corn
Precise feeding of protein and mineral supplement can maintain high levels of milk production and reduce nutrient excretion in dairy manure and losses to the environment. No information is available on the impacts of feeding different silages to dairy cattle (Bos taurus) on manure N cycling in soils. Slurry from dairy cattle fed rations containing alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.; ALF), red clover ...

Dairy Products
Problem: This dairy located in Northern California is a major supplier of consumer milk products. The plant had been discharging their wastewater to the local sanitation plant untreated. Due to industrial growth in the area, the sanitation plant could no longer accept the dairy effluent. The dairy, therefore, selected and installed a Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR) system to treat their ...
