How much does a gallon of IFO 380 cost?
IFO 380 is a type of intermediate fuel oil, AKA bunker fuel. It is what a ship would use. Ship operators buy it by the metric ton rather than by the gallon. However, it is a good question because it puts the value in terms that a regular person can understand, that is, if a cruise ship pulled up to a giant pump, what would they pay per gallon?
Commodity price of IFO 380 as of 10 April 2012 was $735.00 per metric ton (yes, the price of that has gone up, too) A metric ton is 1000 Kilos. The density of IFO 380 is 0.991 grams per cc according to wikipedia. So 1000 Kg / 0.991 = 1009 liters. There are 3.785 liters to a gallon. so, 1009 / 3.785 = 266.58 gallons. Now, all we have to do is divide $735 by 266.58 and we get $2.73 per gallon. Hmm, I would have thought that they get a better deal than that.

What is the meaning of Flushing of Dairy Cows?
Flushing dairy cows happens after the cows has calved. It basically involves using saline solution to clean out the cow's uterus. Doing this helps to prevent a uterine infection and increases the possibility that the cow will breed back immediately.
Answer 2:Flushing of a dairy cow can also denote super ovulating an animal in order to collect embryos to sell, or use in a farmers own herd to improve genetics. Although expensive, cows that are "flushed" are usually from a long line of excellent genetics, are high producers, and have great fat and protein production.Super ovulation is done by injecting a gonadotropin, follicle stimulating hormone between the 9th and 14th day of estrous, and is continued twice a day for 4-5 days. This results in the development of numerous follicles. After 2-3 days of this treatment, the animal is then given an injection of prostaglandin and is observed for a standing heat. Once this heat is observed the animal is then bred, in many cases by artificial insemination. After 6-8 days the embryos are then "flushed" from the uterus using saline solution. The embryos will then fall to the bottom and will be graded on a 1-4 scale, 1 being the most viable, and 4 being the least. Normally 1 and 2 graded embryos are used.
These embryos are then frozen to be sold, or will be implanted into synchronized animals, most often heifers as they have a higher chance of getting pregnant from embryo transfer.

Probably the same as before you boiled it. I think boiling doesn't alter the fat content of milk.
Milk is about 3.9 grams of fat per 100 grams of milk
Yes. If you buy a hand breast pump and frequently extract milk, the amounts should increase. Alternatively you can continue to breast feed and if you are not sure of the amounts the baby is getting, try weighing the infant before and after feeds.
Answer:Start by keeping up your fluids and trying to get baby to breast as often as possible. Remember, milk production is a supply and demand system. Because the demand was down for a couple of days, your supply is down. But if you can trick your body into believing that demand is back up stronger than ever, supply should return. If that doesn't work there is a supplement called Domperidone which is widely available and given to nursing mothers in every country EXCEPT the United States. For some reason, here they use Reglan which has some harsh side effects (like depression and weight gain -- neither of which a nursing mother needs to cope with). However, if you do a little research, you can easily get Domperidone (also called Motilium) and you can find out how to use it by reading Dr Jack Newman's articles. He has some great information as well as instructions for its use. He's a Canadian breastfeeding expert and a Godsend to nursing mothers. Answer:In reference to the first answer, hand pumps are a much harder way to express milk than a electric or battery powered pump. And i personally found it really hard to express a full serving. Also building up your milk supply takes time, so don't stress yourself out about not having enough to fill your baby for the first few days/week as Stress can reduce your milk flow even more. i breast fed twins for four months and i must say it was the most demanding and stressful thing I've ever done in my life - but well worth it!!!Who or what determines if a cow is a beef or milk cow?
It depends on what the owner wants to use it for. Some cows might have been specifically bred to better on one of these jobs.
When was the dairy cow selectively bred?
It could be safe to say that cows were starting to get selectively bred for dairy production before recorded history, such as before the 18th century and even 200 years before then.

What type of fresh milk contains the most fat?
Raw milk and homogenized milk (that which has 3.5% milk fat).
No, the milk comes in response to the change in hormone levels after the delivery of the baby. Milk is not usually secreted in pregnancy.
Don't worry if there does not seem to be a lot initially, for the first couple of days you secrete colostrum a very fatty pre-milk, high in calories and antibodies. The lighter almost blue milk comes after 2 or 3 days.
Good Luck (englishangel)
the first response is not at all true, some women start leaking as early as 20 weeks, most women will leak between 30 and 25 weeks, but some women do not leak until after the baby is born. ALL women are different because all bodies are different and all pregnancy's are different as well, my current pregnancy is totally different from my first, with my first i didn't leak until the day before i went into labor (i also had no weight gain until my 7th month and no morning sickness) and with this child i am already leaking at 32 weeks (gained all my weight within the 2nd trimester and have been sick since week 8 lol.) The reason I may be producing milk sooner (as well as the early weight gain) than last time is that my body is saying "been there done that" and is more prepared.
How old is the dairy cow that people can eat in the US?

What is cause of foamy urine in men?
Foamy urine= a UTI or drinking too much......
If you urinate quickly, bubbles can occur from splashing with toilet bowl water. This effect is magnified by the nitrogen and other organic compounds in your urine coming into contact with oxygen. This causes chemical reactions which create bubbles as some gases vent off from the process.
You may notice urine is most bubbly either in the morning, when there is lots of organic compounds present. Eating green vegetables which are rich in nitrogen will also produce bubbly pee.
What cow gives a yellower milk?
Certain breeds of cows typically have a higher butterfat content in their milk, resulting in a "more yellow" color. One such breed is the Guernsey.
Why does California produce the most dairy?
In California, there is a dense population of cows. Naturally, with more cows present, there would be more dairy products produced.
