| Title | Date | Discipline | Extract | Keywords |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beef and milk production of Holstein and Jersey when crossed with Fleckvieh | Discipline: breeding; |
small scale farmer, bull calves, crossbreeding, fertility, feed requirements, milk yield, milk composition | ||
| A COST-BENEFIT MODEL COMPARING THE CALIFORNIA MILK CELL TEST AND MILK ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE TEST. | Discipline: mastitis; |
cost-benefit analyses, California Milk Cell Test, Milk Electrical Resistance Test | ||
| YEAST EXTRACT CAN ACCELERATE FERMENTATION TIME OF YOGURT. | Discipline: yogurt; Researchers at the University of the Free State investigated whether the fermentation process in manufacturing yogurt could be accelerated on the premise that if successful, the cost of production should decrease. For that purpose they used as additive a water soluble auto-lysate of yeast, which is usually utilised for microbial growth support. |
peptides, accelerated fermentation, yogurt, yeast extract | ||
| EFFECT OF BUFFERING DAIRY COW DIETS ON RUMEN FERMENTATION AND PRODUCTION | ||||
| OREGANO AS AN ADDITIVE TO ENHANCE RUMEN FERMENTATION. | Discipline: feed additives; |
Origanum vulgare, anti-bacterial compound, rumen fermentation, milk production, essential oil | ||
| IMPLICATIONS AND PRACTICALITIES OF GHG MITIGATION. | Discipline: environment; |
GHG, AFOLU, carbon sequestration, production systems, pilot trials, training | ||
| REDUCTION OF PRODUCT LOSS IN DAIRY FOODS MANUFACTURING. | Discipline: industry; Product loss in the dairy processing industry is about 3% of the processing volume. The loss can be reduced and energy consumption and waste treatment costs can be decreased substantially by real-time online Total Organic Carbon (TOC) monitoring in a process or waste water stream. |

| LUCERNE LEAF MEAL FOR PRE-WEANED DAIRY CALVES | Discipline: calf raising; The cost of supplementation is always a factor to be considered in calf starter diets. A nutritious and less expensive substitute in a supplement of a commercial pelleted concentrate is a possibility and lucerne leaf-meal was consequently considered by the authors referenced below. |

| THE SIGNIFICANCE OF PROTEOLYTIC PSYCHROTROPHS AS A CAUSE OF MILK FLOCCULATION / PROTEIN INSTABILITY | Discipline: quality; The report here is part of the Milk SA R & D programme to find solutions to the milk flocculation problem in the dairy industry. The investigation on the influence of psychrotrophic bacteria is by Prof Celia Hugo and postgraduate students at the University of the Free State. |

| SURVIVAL OF ACID AND SALT STRESSED LISTERIA MONOCYTOGENES IN CHEESE. | Discipline: contamination; Key words: Listeria monocytogenes, listeriosis, soft cheese, stress |
