The purpose of this study was to evaluate the monthly milk production and quality of buffaloes from two milk production systems in the Brazilian northeast using the multivariate analysis: principal component analysis (PCA). A total of 2,506 individual milk recordings were performed in two production systems, containing information on milk production (kg day-1), fat, protein, lactose and total solids counts and somatic cell count (SCC). There were positive correlations between the fat content and the contents of total solids (TS) and protein, and of TS and protein. From the PCA, two main components (PC1 and PC2) were identified, explaining 67.71% of the total variation. The fat, protein, lactose and ST level, represented by PC1, explain 46.18% of the total variance, and were an indicator of milk nutritional quality. The CP2, composed of milk production, SCC and production systems, explains 21.53% of the total variance, and was indicative of herd health. PCA results may be useful in dairy buffalo breeding programs, and a reduced number of variables are necessary to assess the nutritional quality of milk and herd health.

<p>Los sistemas de producción bovina en Colombia emplean el pastoreo de especies forrajeras para la alimentación básicamente porque este sistema demanda menor uso de mano de obra. No obstante, la dependencia de las praderas de pastoreo tiene como desventajas los efectos de las variaciones climáticas y las condiciones químicas y físicas del suelo que ocasionan considerables reducciones en la disponibilidad y calidad nutricional del forraje; este efecto se denomina 'estacionalidad forrajera' y acompaña las épocas secas, lo cual impacta negativamente las tasas de crecimiento animal y su producción,  además de reducir la carga animal. Por otra parte, durante las épocas de lluvias se presentan excedentes de forrajes que no se conservan o se ofrecen en estados avanzados de madurez, lo que afecta su calidad nutricional y la productividad. Si bien ha habido avances en las prácticas de conservación de forrajes, es necesario intensificar estos procesos así como desarrollar otras alternativas, como los forrajes resistentes a la sequía, para enfrentar los efectos adversos de la estacionalidad. En este artículo se revisan algunas estrategias y tecnologías disponibles para optimizar los procesos fermentativos que aseguren la calidad del producto ensilado, altos niveles de consumo y una alta productividad animal.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Modern strategies for conserving forage in tropical bovine production systems</strong></p><p>Colombian bovine production systems basically employ grazing on pasture forages since as this is an economic system involving little manual labour.  However, dependence on pasture for grazing carries with it the disadvantages of the effects of climatic variation and a particular soil's physical and chemical conditions. Significant reductions in the availability and quality of forage thus occur during the dry season an effect known as the 'seasonal nature of fodder', leading to reducing animal load production levels and animal growth rates. Conversely, there is a surplus of forage during the rainy season which is not preserved or is offered in an advanced state of maturity; this also affects its nutritional quality and therefore productivity. Some progress has been made in the practice of conserving forage; however, such processes must be intensified and altematives developed using drought-resistant materials, thereby counteracting the seasonal effects determined by climatic variation. Current strategies and/or technologies must thus be reviewed as they have a direct effect on the process and/or type of fermentation leading to maintaining and/or improving product quality or ensuring that it is preserved for ensuring high levels of consurnption and animal productivity.</p>

School Food Environment

This paper examines the changes to procurement for school food environments in Canada as a response to changes to nutrition regulations at the provincial level. Interviews with those working in school food environments across Canada revealed how changes to the nutrition requirements of foods and beverages sold in schools presented opportunities to not only improve the nutrient content of the items made available in school food environments, but also to include local producers and/or school gardens in procuring for the school food environment. At the same time, some schools struggle to procure nutritionally compliant foods due to increased costs associated with transporting produce to rural, remote, or northern communities as well as logistic difficulties like spoilage. Although the nutrition regulations have facilitated improvements to food environments in some schools, others require more support to improve the overall nutritional quality of the foods and beverages available to students at school.

African Breadfruit

The extracted seeds of African breadfruit are identified to be extremely healthy whenever it is correctly processed. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of processing methods on the nutritional quality of African breadfruit seed. A qualitative phytochemical analysis including: Alkaloid, Flavonoid, Saponin, Tannin, Anthraquinone, Terpenoids, Steroid, and Cardiac Glycosides for the different fraction of African breadfruit seed was performed using a standard method. The result revealed the presence and greater amount of phytochemical for the raw fraction; seven in eight, six in eight for steamed fraction, and four in eight for boiled and roasted respectively. Anti-nutrient, Proximate, and Mineral Content were also conducted using standard methods. The amino acid composition was determined using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The results of the present study revealed that anti-nutrients including Phytate, Tannins, and Oxalate were significantly p<0.05 reduced in the boiled fraction 5.47±0.15, 3.42±0.02 and 6.89±0.05, and highest in the raw fraction 7.77±0.01, 5.09±0.03 and 9.34±0.14. The proximate composition including; percentage crude fat, Ash, Carbohydrate, Fatty acid, and Energy value were significantly lower p<0.05 in the boiled fraction relative to the other fractions. Mineral contents; calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and phosphorus were also significantly p<0.05 elevated in the boiled fraction relative to the raw, steamed, and roasted fraction. The amino acid composition was highest in the roasted and boiled fraction 57.350 and 56.978, and lowest in the steamed and raw fraction 35.754 and 28.748 respectively. Therefore, boiling (cooking) is encouraged for the preparation of African breadfruit seed.
