production and calf performance in Nguni and crossbred cattle raised on communal rangelands of the Eastern Cape province of South Africa https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11813 0.05). Milk was utilised as both fresh and sour. Fresh milk was utilised with tea/coffee and porridge. Excess fresh milk was utilised to feed pets (mostly cats and puppies). The puppies were fed on mostly whey, and, at times, on fresh milk. Sour milk was utilised to prepare of umvubo (a mixture of sour milk and scrambled porridge (umphokoqo) or a mixture of sour milk and bread). In some cases, excess milk was given to neighbours as a form of social investment and fame. The quality of milk from Nguni and crossbred cows was compared in the fourth trial. Milk samples were evaluated for quality in early (February), mid (April) and late (June) lactation in 2009. The essential amino acids, non-essential amino acids and fatty acids were determined. Nguni milk had higher amino acids and fatty acids concentration than crossbreds (P<0.05). Nguni milk had higher arginine levels in the early and mid lactation periods compared to crossbred cows (P<0.05). Nguni milk had higher methionine and threonine levels than crossbred cows (P<0.05). Methionine levels in Nguni were 0.15, 0.19 and 0.18 in early, mid and late lactation while crossbred had 0.05, 0.05 and 0.06 (g/100ml), respectively. There were significant interactions between lactation stage and genotype for lysine levels with Nguni milk having higher (P<0.05) lysine levels in the mid and late lactation periods. Nguni cows had higher tyrosine, glycine and proline levels than crossbred cows (P<0.05). In the early lactation, Nguni cows had higher serine levels than crossbred cows (P<0.05). In mid lactation crossbred cows had higher serine levels than Nguni cows (P<0.05). There were significant differences between genotypes on fatty acid composition. Nguni milk had higher C12:0 levels than crossbreds (P<0.05). However, milk from crossbred cows had higher C14:0 levels than that for Nguni cows (P<0.05) and also had higher levels of C16:0 and C18:0 fatty acids compared to Nguni cows. Crossbred milk had higher levels of C18n1n9t in early lactation period than Nguni and decreased as the stage of lactation progressed (P<0.05). In the early lactation, the levels of C18n1nC in Nguni milk were higher (P<0.05) than in late lactation. In the mid and late lactation, crossbred cows milk had higher C18n1nC levels than in early lactation (P<0.05). Lactation stage and genotype affected saturated fatty, monounsaturated fatty acids, cis-fatty acids and omega 3 (n-3) to omega 6 (n-6). In general, Nguni milk had higher mineral composition than crossbred milk (P<0.05). In conclusion, Nguni calves performed better than crossbred calves under communal rangelands. There is a need for crossing Nguni cows with dairy breeds in commercial dairying by smalhoder farmers as a strategy for improving both milk quality and quantity.]]> Wed 12 May 2021 15:43:29 SAST ]]> New platinum coordination compounds : their synthesis, characterization and anticancer application https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:10430 Thu 13 May 2021 11:17:38 SAST ]]> A model for evaluating training and development initiatives in the Botswana public service https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:9384 Thu 13 May 2021 10:23:25 SAST ]]> The South African community pharmacist and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus a pharmaceutical care intervention https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3760 Thu 13 May 2021 09:28:18 SAST ]]> An examination of language planning and policy in the Eastern Cape with specific reference to Sesotho : a sociolinguistic study https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:8459 Thu 13 May 2021 08:25:31 SAST ]]> Teacher educators' interpretation and practice of learner-centred pedagogy : a case study https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1954 Thu 13 May 2021 08:09:28 SAST ]]> Implementation of a 150kva biomass gasifier system for community economic empowerment in South Africa https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11591 Thu 13 May 2021 07:38:11 SAST ]]> Chang liver cell line as a model for Type II Diabetes in the liver and possible reversal of this condition by an indigenous medicinal plant https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:10339 Thu 13 May 2021 07:36:07 SAST ]]> The selective dechlorination of poly-chlorophenols https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:10391 Thu 13 May 2021 07:30:13 SAST ]]> The development of a commercial production process for p-menthane-3,8-diol https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:10427 Thu 13 May 2021 07:20:06 SAST ]]> Regulating franchise operations in South Africa : a study of the existing legal framework with suggestions for reform. https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3721 Thu 13 May 2021 06:49:45 SAST ]]> A comprehensive university: constructing an organisational identity https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:9517 Thu 13 May 2021 06:41:59 SAST ]]> Livestock, rural livelihoods and rural development interventions in the Eastern Cape: case studies of Chris Hani, Alfred Nzo and Amathole district municipalities https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11937 Thu 13 May 2021 06:41:23 SAST ]]> Lead-radium dating of two deep-water fishes from the southern hemisphere, Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) and Orange Roughy (Hoplostethus atlanticus) https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5295 1.0 dpm.g⁻¹).
