Bulletin of the IDF N° 447/ 2010: New Applications of Mid Infra-Red Spectrometry for the Analysis of Milk and Milk Products
Products with an higher content of unsaturated fatty acids interest the dairy sector. Modern analytical and statistical techniques provide accurate results on the contents of saturated, unsaturated, mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids in products from cow, goat and ewe milk. Mid infra-red spectroscopy with Fourier Transform Infra-Red technology (FTIR) can be applied as screening method, […]

Bulletin of the IDF N° 395/2005 – Method Standardization In The Third Millennium
Proceedings of symposium held in IDF/ISO/AOAC International Analytical Week, Parma (Italy), 21 April 2004 Demands by users of methods of analysis, and by users of the results, for precision and reliability are greater year by year. The analytical community is constantly considering how to improve performance and how to communicate the improvements. The papers at […]
Bulletin of the IDF N° 394/2005 – Economic Consequences Of Mastitis
Control of mastitis is undertaken to improve animal welfare and economic performance. However, calculating the cost of mastitis and its control as well as the benefit of control is complex. A number of factors is involved and it is difficult to make reliable estimates of the cost effect of some of these factors. This report […]
Bulletin of the IDF N° 441/ 2009: Monitoring success of paratuberculosis programs Proceedings of 2nd Paratuberculosis Forum, Minneapolis, August 2009
Paratuberculosis is an infectious disease that is one of the leading causes of economic loss to the cattle and small ruminant industries. The dairy sector (and the beef sector) have studied how to control and reduce the prevalence and spread of this disease for many years. The 2nd ParaTB Forum, held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA […]
