Uncommonly Thorough Hydrolysis of Peptides during Ripening of Ragusano Cheese Revealed by Tandem Mass Spectrometry

the objective of this study was to identify the extent of casein hydrolysis and the peptides released in the watersoluble
fraction of Ragusano cheese. The potential presence of bioactive peptides was also investigated.
Effect of Thermal Stress, Cistern Size and Milking Frequency on Plasma Mineral Concentrations in Holstein Dairy Cows

The present study was designed to determine the effects of heat stress and cistern size as well as the effect of milking frequency under heat stress on plasma minerals in dairy cows with small and large cistern.
Segmentation of structural features in cheese micrographs using pixel statistics

In this paper, a machine learning method was employed based on a statistical model of image pixels, learned from sample images by human training. The observation underlying to this class of segmentation
methods is that image pixels can be considered as a statistical population.
Hormonal (Thyroxin, Cortisol) and Immunological (Leucocytes) Responses to Cistern Size and Heat Stress in Tunisia

The present study was designed to determine the effects of heat stress on plasma leucocytes, T4 and cortisol concentrations in
dairy cows with small and large cistern under significant climate changes.
Objective estimation of body condition score by modeling cow body shape from digital images

The aim of the present study was to develop a technique to model the body shape of a cow from which learned parameters could be used in BCS estimation. A further objective was to build a benchmark data set useful for dairy cattle research purposes, available.
through the Internet.
Objective estimation of body condition score by modeling cow body shape from digital images

Modeling BCS (Body Condition Score). The aim of the present study was to develop a technique to model the body shape of a cow from which learned parameters could be used in BCS estimation.
A further objective was to build a benchmark data set useful for dairy cattle research purposes, available through the Internet.
Increasing pasture intakes enhances polyunsaturated fatty acids and lipophilic antioxidants in plasma and milk of dairy cows fed total mix ration

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the changes in fatty acid composition and fat-soluble antioxidant content in plasma and milk from cows fed with different proportions of pasture.
Incremental Learning to Segment Micrographs

The main problem of classication approaches is the long, tedious, human-intensive training phase. In our experience, an accurate image labelling can take several hours to an expert operator.
Effect of dehydration by sun or by oven on volatiles and aroma compounds of Trachanas

The objective of this study was to assess whether drying methods (sun vs. oven) of Trachanas influence its aroma profile.
Associations of breed and feeding management with milk production

The objective of this study was to identify sources of variation able to explain differences between herds in milk and milk component production curves obtained from routine evaluation software.
