  1. Unraveling the potential for mammary organoids for cell-based milk productions - MilkNoids

    Nina Aagaard Poulsen , Lotte Bach Larsen , Camilla Kjeldgaard Larsen & Stig Purup

    The aim of MilkNoids is to investigate and obtain proof-of-concept of using mammary organoids from cow mammary tissue or milk for cellular milk production and to predict possible use of such in vitro secreted milk constituents depending on their ability to form components that mimic those of milk, both in terms of structure and functionality.

    MilkNoids will address challenges regarding milk secretions by using novel approaches for cell culturing and harvest of secretomes and will therefore provide a basis for further research and application in the area. The results can contribute to strategies for adaptation and upscaling of the technology for the industry including assessment of the overall impact on carbon footprint.

  2. KLIMAFEDT - Bæredygtige fedtkilder til reduktion af metan fra malkekøer, deres påvirkning af mælkekvaliteten og samspil med foderadditiver

    Christian Friis Børsting , Maike Johannes Brask , Lisbeth Mogensen , Martin Riis Weisbjerg , Søren Krogh Jensen , Lars Wiking , Martin Øvli Kristensen , Thorkild C Mooss & Henrik Madsen

    Bevillingsgiver er: GUDP - Grønt Udviklings- og Demonstrationsprogram

    Projektet vil udvikle nye fedtrige fodermidler til brug som foder hos malkekøer. Foderfedt er et effektivt værktøj til at reducere køers metanudledning. Samtidig øger foderfedt energikoncentrationen i foderet, hvilket sikrer en høj mælkeydelse. De nye fedtrige fodermidler skal ses som et alternativ til palmeolie-baseret produkter, der forbindes med skovrydning og klimabelastende produktionsmetoder.Description
