Associations among Milk Microbiota, Milk Fatty Acids, Milk Glycans, and Inflammation from Lactating Holstein Cows Open
Bovine milk can harbor microbes that cause mastitis, milk spoilage, and foodborne illness. Fatty acids found in milk can be antimicrobial and milk oligosaccharides can have antiadhesive, prebiotic, and immune-modulatory effects.

A Low-Starch and High-Fiber Diet Intervention Impacts the Microbial Community of Raw Bovine Milk Open
In raw milk, consumption of an LSHF diet compared with an HSLF diet was associated with changes in abundance of microbes previously associated with fiber consumption, udder health, and milk spoilage. Further research is needed to determine…

Dietary Fiber to Starch Ratio Affects Bovine Milk Oligosaccharide Profiles Open
Consuming the low starch high fiber diet promoted greater overall BMO production than the high starch low fiber diet in a population of midlactation Holsteins. Additionally, this study afforded the opportunity to investigate the impact of …

Identification of High and Low Branched-Chain Fatty Acid–Producing Phenotypes in Holstein Cows following High-Forage and Low-Forage Diets in a Crossover Designed Trial Open
BCFA content of milk is diet-sensitive but variation in responses exists. The potential to produce milk with high BCFA content and lower SFA content needs further study.

Deriving information from complex data sets: Impact of forage on fatty acids in cow milk Open
Machine learning and classical statistics were used to unravel the complex data set generated by the analysis of 77 fatty acids in milk from 76 cows fed 3 forages. Multivariate analysis of variance – principal components analysis (mANOVA-P…

Mitigating sustainability tradeoffs as global fruit and vegetable systems expand to meet dietary recommendations Open
Recent analyses indicate that global fruit and vegetable (F&V) production will need to increase by 50%–150% by 2050 in order to achieve sustainable and healthy diets for 10 billion people. Although global production of F&V has grown by 50%…
