Adequately balanced daily food rations that provide the body with sufficient amounts of energy and nutrients, including minerals, are particularly important in early childhood when rapid physical, intellectual and motor development takes place. Cow’s milk (CM) and young-child formulas (YCFs) are introduced to a child’s diet past the first year of age. The main aim of the present study was to perform a qualitative and a quantitative analysis of daily food rations of young children based on the recommendations of the daily food ration model. An attempt was also made to determine whether the type of consumed milk (YCF or CM) adequately meets young children’s energy demands and contributes to the incorporation of different food groups into a balanced and healthy diet for children aged 13–24 months. A total of 714 parents between October 2019 and March 2020 filled out a food frequency questionnaire. In the second stage of the study, the parents participated in a dietary recall and were asked to keep diaries of all meals and foods consumed by children over a period of three days. The mean daily intake of CM/YCF and fermented milks was determined at 360 mL ± 128 mL, and it accounted for 55.4% of the guideline values. Flavored dairy products were consumed more frequently than fermented milks without added sugar or flavoring (94 ± 17 g vs. 56 ± 26 g, p < 0.05). Diets incorporating CM were significantly more abundant in protein than YCF diets (29.3 g vs. 21.9 g; p < 0.01). Liquid intake was somewhat higher in children fed YCFs (1280.8 mL vs. 1120.1; p < 0.05), mainly due to the higher consumption of fruit juice, nectars and sweetened hot beverages (246 ± 35 mL in the YCF group vs. 201 ± 56 mL in the CM group; p < 0.05). Children fed YCF consumed significantly larger amounts of sweetened beverages such as tea sweetened with sugar or honey, sweetened hot chocolate or instant teas (OR = 2.54; Cl: 1.32–3.26; p < 0.001), than children receiving CM. This group was also characterized by higher consumption of sweetened dairy products, mainly cream cheese desserts, fruit yogurt and yogurt with cereal (OR = 1.87; Cl: 1.36–2.54; p < 0.01), as well as a lower daily intake of plain fermented milks (OR = 0.56; Cl: 0.21–0.79; p < 0.001). The daily food intake and the quality of the diets administered to children aged 13–24 months were evaluated and compared with the model food ration. It was found that milk type influenced children’s eating habits and preference for sweet-tasting foods. The study also demonstrated that Polish parents and caregivers only have limited knowledge of nutritional guidelines for toddlers.

Background: Research into the role of young-child formulae (YCF) in a child's diet is limited and there is no consensual recommendation on its use. We evaluated the theoretical nutritional impact of replacing the existing practice of consuming cow's milk by YCF. Methods: From the UK Diet and Nutrition Survey of Infants and Young Children, whole cow's milk consumers, aged 12-18 months (n = 591) were selected for simulation scenarios. In Scenario 1, we tested the replacement of all whole cow's milk (434 ± 187 ml/day) by a matching volume of YCF, and in Scenario 2, all whole cow's milk was replaced by the on-pack recommended daily intake of 300 ml. Nutrient intakes before and after simulation scenarios were compared and evaluated against nutrient recommendations. Results: Intakes of protein and saturated fatty acids were significantly decreased, whereas essential fatty acid intakes were increased. The prevalence of nutrient inadequacy before simulation was 95.2% for vitamin D and 53.8% for iron. After simulation, inadequacy decreased to 4.9% (Scenario 1) and 0% (Scenario 2) for vitamin D and to 2.7% (Scenario 1) and 1.1% (Scenario 2) for iron. Conclusions: Replacement of habitual cow's milk intake by a matching volume or 300 ml of YCF may lead to nutritional intakes more in line with recommendations in young children.

The purpose of the work was to establish in a model experiment the allergenic activity and danger of the extracts obtained from the dust of dry products of cow's milk processing (DPMP), containing complexes of soluble whey (WMP) or casein milk proteins (CMP), as a stage of hygienic regulation of the content of dust DPMP in the air of the working area. Experiments on albino guinea pigs sensitized by the intradermal injection of standard doses of WMP and СМР solutions into the ear revealed the development of severe allergic reactions in the animals of the experimental groups with the prevalence of mixed mechanisms of immediate anaphylactic and delayed cell-mediated types. According to the criteria for the classification of industrial allergens, the WMP and СМР complexes have a strong allergenic activity and are differentiated to the 1-st class of allergenic hazard, which determines the classification of the DPMP dust containing them as extremely dangerous industrial allergens. This is confirmed by the established high levels of indicators of allergic-diagnostic reactions in vivo and in vitro when testing sensitized WMP and СМР animals with a solution of skim milk powder dust, indicating the presence of antigenic determinants of whey and casein milk proteins in it and a real ability to form cross-allergic reactions in the body of workers to dust from all dry milk processing products containing these proteins.

Cow's milk is the main agricultural product and a valuable raw material for the production of dairy products. During the study the quality of milk, organoleptic, microbiological and chemical indicators are determined. The chemical composition of milk depends on many factors – the breed of cows, feeding, content, age, physiological condition of the animal, season of the year, etc. The chemical composition of raw milk is an important condition in deciding on its further processing for a certain type of dairy product. Modern national and international regulatory documents impose low requirements for the mass fraction of fat and protein in cow's milk – at least 2,8 %. Milk with a minimum content of fat and protein does not allow to obtain products with high yield. To plan the production of dairy products, it is necessary to take into account seasonal changes in the chemical composition. The Chuvash State Agricultural Academy has a small dairy farm. The academy has a training and research laboratory on the technology of milk and dairy products. In the conditions of this laboratory, milk of cows, not only of our academy, but also of personal subsidiary, farm and collective farms are examined. In this regard, it is relevant to conduct research to identify seasonal changes in chemical composition of milk. Our article presents the results of research work on determining the chemical composition of milk of cows in the dairy farm of educational scientific and practical center «Studenteskiy» of the Chuvash State Agricultural Academy in autumn. It was revealed that in September, October and November, the content of fat and protein in milk significantly increases.

Cow's milk and dairy products derived from this complex food source have long been proposed as beneficial to human health, yet underlying clinical evidence of direct benefit continues to raise controversy. Limited evidence supports positive cardiometabolic effects of a number of dairy macro- and micronutrient components including whey protein and casein, unsaturated fats, milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) and polar phospholipids, vitamin D and calcium, in addition to non-bovine components including bacterial and yeast probiotics. More controversial remain lipid components trans fats, including trans vaccenic acid, trans palmitoleic acid, and conjugated cis trans linoleic acid (CLA), plus medium-chain and odd-chain dairy fats. New evidence is rapidly identifying multiple pathways by which these dairy nutrients may effect health. Processing, including fermentation and homogenization, may also have positive effects. Conversely, the high saturated fat content of dairy has long raised concern, aligned with international guidelines to minimize dietary intake of animal-origin saturated fatty acids (SFA) to achieve better cardiometabolic health. However, led in part by observational studies and meta-analyses showing dairy to have no or even an inverse association with cardiometabolic health, evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) has been scrutinized over the last 5 years, and focus on low-fat dairy has been challenged. Recent evidence supports the hypothesis that adverse effects of SFAs on metabolic health may be ameliorated when these fats are consumed within a complex matrix such as milk, cheese or yogurt, and that dairy food categories may influence outcomes as much as total fat content. For example, yogurt and high-fat, high-SFA cheese have a negative association with risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in many, not all, published trials. However, large sample dairy RCTs of long duration with CVD or T2D incidence as primary endpoints are lacking. This is a clear research gap, with these clinical studies required if a causative link between dairy and improved cardiometabolic health is to be confirmed and in turn promoted through dietary guidelines. Current advisories from national guidance groups such as American Heart Association (AHA) and European Society of Cardiology (ESC) continue to promote consumption of low-fat dairy products, whilst liquid milk and yogurt remain part of nutrition guidelines from joint American Diabetes Association (ADA)/European Association for Study of Diabetes (EASD) reports, and as part of a “no-one-size-fits-all” answer to diet and T2D by the ADA in their most recent 2019 Consensus Report.

Background and Objectives. Chronic, severe iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) in the first years of life increases the risk of irreversibly compromised cognitive, affective, and motor development. While IDA in infants has decreased because of dietary changes (iron-fortified formula and delaying cow’s milk), toddlers (13-36 months) are equally vulnerable to the adverse effects of IDA. We aimed to show that despite public health efforts, severe IDA remains a problem in toddlers and is associated with excess milk consumption. Methods. Retrospective chart review of children 6 to 36 months admitted to or evaluated by hematology at a children’s hospital from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2010 with a severe microcytic anemia (hemoglobin [Hb] <9 g/dL and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) <75 fL). Results. We identified 68 infants and toddlers with severe IDA; most (84%) were 13 to 36 months old. The mean Hb and MCV were 6.0 g/dL (range = 2.2-8.9 g/dL) and 54.0 fL (range = 45.5-69.8 fL), respectively. Fatigue, poor appetite, and pica were the most common symptoms, found in 43%, 29%, and 22% of patients, respectively. Only 41% of parents reported pale skin while 77% of physicians recorded it on physical exam. Daily cow’s milk consumption surpassed 24 ounces for 47 of 48 children with reported intake; 11 consumed more than 64 ounces per day. Conclusions. Despite current screening recommendations, severe IDA continues to be a problem in toddlers and strongly correlates with excess cow’s milk consumption. This reiterates the importance of screening for IDA into routine toddler care.

Aim. The aim of this study was to assess eating behavior in the groups of women who are working on different, unchanged shifts as well as identifying differences in the consumption of nutrients that may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.Material and Methods. The study was carried out among 300 randomly selected women working in a permanent shift (morning, afternoon, night). In the study, the assessment of the daily intake was carried out using 24-h dietary recall. Anthropometric measurements were carried out to assess the nutritional status. The interview regarding the food consumption was complemented by dietary questionnaire about selected lifestyle parameters contributing to the development of cardiovascular disease and the type of their work.Results. The body mass index (BMI) in all groups was within the adequate values. The analysis of waist to hip ratio (WHR) showed that in the morning and night shift, was exceeded the adequate values recommended in the prevention of cardiovascular disease (WHR = 0.83 ± 0.1 in both groups). The analysis of the daily food rations of women revealed disparities regarding nutritional recommendations. Statistically significant differences in protein and saccharose intake were observed (p > 0.05). The average vitamin D content in the daily food rations of women was insufficient (average 1.4 µg per day); however, it was not statistically significant.Conclusions. The shift work system was influence on eating behaviors in study women. In particular in women which were worked on the night shift, which may contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease in the future.

The article presents the results of experimental studies to determine the effect of antioxidant drugs “Butofan” and “E-selenium” on veterinary and sanitary parameters of cows’ milk obtained in the period after calving. Childbirth is characterized by a stressful physiological state of the body and a large amount of lipid peroxidation (LPO) products are formed in the blood of cows, which have a negative depleting effect on the body and, naturally, on the quality of milk, since it is a blood product. To enhance the work of the body’s own antioxidant system, since it is not always enough to neutralize LPO products, antioxidant drugs are used. It is necessary to determine veterinary and sanitary parameters in milk obtained under the influence of any drugs, since it is used in human nutrition. For this purpose, experimental studies were carried out on analogous dairy cows in one of the farms of Ryazan region. The cows were divided into three groups: the control and two experimental ones. The control group of animals was intact, the cows of the experimental groups received antioxidant preparations: the first one got “E-selenium” and the second one got “Butofan”. The research results showed that the milk yield of cows in the experimental groups was higher compared to the control. The quality parameters of milk in the experimental groups of cows were better in terms of fat content, protein content, density and acidity. Cow’s milk under the influence of antioxidant drugs was biologically complete and environmentally friendly.

Aim. The “breed” was used as one of the genetic factors and as a result the genetic and mathematical analysis of fat content on cow’s milk and the output of milk fat depending on the origin mainly in Kharkiv region have been carried out. Methods. Studies were performed on materials pedigree registered in Kharkiv region agribusinesses and farms in Institute of Animal research, NAAN of Ukraine, on the cows of Ukrainian red and pockmarked and black and pockmarked breed. Results. The highest fatty dairy products are distinguished by animals of the Ukrainian red- and pockmarked milk breed (3.9 %), while the cows of Ukrainian black- and pockmarked milk are lower (3.81 %). As for the milk fat, there is a reverse trend, the cows of Ukrainian black- and pockmarked milk breed have a higher yield of milk fat in milk (167.4 kg) than cows of Ukrainian red -and- pockmarked milk (161.6 kg). Conclusions. The fat content in the milk of Ukrainian red -and- pockmarked currant dairy breeds is 3.9 %, while the cows of Ukrainian black- and pockmarked milk breed 3.81 %. The yield of milk fat from cows of the Ukrainian black- and pockmarked milk was 167.4 kg, while in cows of Ukrainian red- and pockmarked breed 161.6 kg. The "breed" factor has a significant (P > 0.999). Keywords: вlack- and pockmarked, red- and pockmarked, breed, factors, milk.
