In recent decades, there has been a reduction in the consumption of some animal products due to the search for healthy products. In the case of dairy products, fat is an important source of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a set of bioactive isomers, some with beneficial effects for human health, for example, in the prevention of diseases such as Alzheimer's. The manipulation of ruminant diet has been the used alternative to change milk composition and, thus, producing CLA-rich milk products.

Recent evidence from observational studies and controlled clinical trials indicates that milk fat, although predominantly saturated, has neutral or positive effects on cardiometabolic health. Such benefits have been attributed to the complex and unique chemical nature of milk fat, which contains several compounds potentially beneficial to health, such as butyric acid (C4:0), vaccenic acid ( trans-11 C18:1), rumenic acid ( cis--9, trans-11 CLA), oleic acid ( cis-9 C18 ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive degenerative disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that mainly affects people over 65 years of age, resulting in loss of memory and cognitive functions such as language, attention, orientation and reasoning. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 24.3 million people worldwide suffered from AD and other types of dementia in 2007, with a doubling of this number every 20 years. That Organization also stresses that the impact of AD in develo Status: Completed Start date: Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
Studies on risk factors in dairy herds and their economic impact are available in countries with developed dairy production. This information is used to direct and prioritize procedures that improve herd health and avoid problems such as high total bacterial count and presence of antimicrobial residues in milk. In countries with developed dairy farming most herds are comprised of high-producing animals of specialized breeds and raised in total or partial confinement systems. In Brazil, there is Status: Completed Start date: Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2007 |
