Abstract:
... This article presents a case study on how dairy producers and a university are connected to generate territorial development in a municipality. The field of study along with in-depth semi-structured interviews showed that university knowledge reaches dairy farmers through weak ties and imitating production processes. This relationship makes it possible to show that the knowledge produced in academ ...

Abstract:
... Trentingrana hard cheese is a geographic specification of the PDO Grana Padano. It is produced according to an internal regulation by many cooperative dairy factories in the Trentino region (northern Italy), using a semi-artisanal process (the only allowed ingredients are milk, salt, and rennet). Within the PSR project TRENTINGRANA, colorimetric and textural measurements have been collected from 3 ...

Abstract:
... Breed structures of Australian dairy herds over time were described for a large subset of milk‐recording herds. The focus for this study was to describe the use of crossbreeding by dairy farmers, specifically proportions of herds using crossbreeding, whether they were using two‐breed or three‐breed crossbreeding systems, and how herd‐breed structures changed over time. The most common breed struct ...

Abstract:
... The effects of pilot scale freeze- and spray-drying on some functional properties of lactoferrin were studied. Denaturation and loss of function relative to the fresh concentrate as received from a dairy factory was estimated in three ways: (a) from the enthalpy of the denaturation peak; (b) by iron binding capacity as measured by atomic absorption spectroscopy before and after incubation with an ...
... Globally, climate change is a challenge for the dairy sector and its effects are expected to have important consequences on the environmental performance of the dairy products value chains. At the same time, this sector significantly contributes to global warming and other environmental impacts. This paper addresses this twin challenge from a life cycle perspective, i.e. covering from dairy farms, ...

Abstract:
... Systematic separation of cow and calf early after calving is common practice in both organic and conventional dairy farming. The main objective of this paper was to develop different scenarios for dam-calf contact and quantify their effects on milk uptake by the calf and environmental sustainability of the produced milk and meat from these systems. Scenarios were set up of organic dairy systems to ...
... This study aimed to highlight the distinctive features of four Traditional Agri-food Products (TAP), namely, Caprino, Pecorino, Vaccino, and Cacioricotta cheeses produced at the same dairy plant to reveal any possible relationships between their microbiological and biochemical characteristics. Two distinct natural whey starter (NWS) cultures were used during Caprino and Vaccino cheesemaking, where ...

Abstract:
... The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which dairy farmers in the Panagar block of Madhya Pradesh have adopted suggested dairy practises. The inquiry employed a proportionate random sample method to choose 140 dairy producers who were interviewed using a pre-tested structural interview programme. The extent of dairy producers’ implementation of suggested dairy practises was analy ...

This study tested the Gene-Up® protocol for Listeria and the Listeria Right Now™ environmental test for their abilities to detect dairy-related Listeria monocytogenes when present on stainless steel surfaces. Different swabbing materials were tested to evaluate whether they affected the detection capability of these methods. The swab used in the ANSR Listeria Right Now™ assay recovered 2% of L. mo ...

Majha, Malwa and Doaba of Punjab to assess constraints perceived by the dairy farmers in adoption of animal welfare management practices. The data were collected from total 240 respondents through personal interview method on various constraints perceived by the respondents namely; infrastructural, technical, economic, communicational ...

Abstract:
... There has been a growing interest in casein fractions (αS-, β- and κ-casein) due to their various techno- and bio-functional properties and as source for bio-active peptides. Several methods for isolating and purifying caseins have been reported. However, there is still room for improvement regarding purity and yield. In this study, three casein fractions were obtained by selective precipitation. ...

Abstract:
... Building inclusive businesses with small-scale producers in the agro-food sector presents challenges, most notably in terms of governance and sustainability. These issues were explored through a Danone Egypt Ecosystem Project that sought to promote a replicable business model of milk collection centers to secure a dairy plant’s sourcing while contributing to the socio-economic development of small ...

... Companies are paying attention to the reduction of their products’ environmental impact and consumer’s opinion is fundamental to understand which are the market strategies to be undertaken. Consumers are interested in environmental issue, but do they buy products taking scientific data into account? For example, according to literature, consumers believe that the abolition of plastic packaging is ...

Based on this work flow, this study distinguishes four novel interagency new product development strategies (NPDs) based on two dimensions: the external source “supply chain supplies [SCS] and non-supply chain resources (NSCS)” and the form of interaction (united and purchasing). Usin ...

In view of the significance of transportation management and logistics in the economic concept and raising the productivity of production systems, well-timed procurement of perishable materials and goods is determined as a pivotal prerequisite for economic and environmental development. Since the perishable goods produced must be made delivered to consumers as early as possible on account of the l ...

Abstract:
... Every day, an abundance of perishable materials and products are transferred from suppliers to producers, as well as from producers to retailers. In the meantime, operating costs, transportation costs, and environmental impacts enhance due to the limited lifespan of dairy products, time constraints, limited inventory to hold, and high frequency of transportation. This paper is about designing a th ...
