            OPEN SEMINAR PhytoMilk Time:   Thursday 23rd of June 2011Place:   Studentersamfunnet, UMB,     1432 ÅS, Norway (10 minute’s walk from the railway station)The seminar is open and free, but everyone has to register before June 6The  main objectives of the PhytoMilkpro-ject where to illuminate how different forage species affect the fatty acid composition of organic dairy milk, and the milk content of bioactive components such as tocopherols, ca-rotenoids, selenium (Se) and phytoestrogens. The project has also investigated the bio-logical activity of the collected dairy milk samples from the Nordic countries on normal and cancer cells. The results of the four year project (2007-2011) will be presented at this seminar.Contact adress: Else Koksvik,  koksvik@bioforsk.no tel +47 404 80 171    REGISTRATION   Potential improvement of the salutary effect of organic dairy milk by forage species and by supplementation (PhytoMilk)PhytoMilkThe  main objectives of the PhytoMilkproject where to illuminate how different forage species affect the fatty acid composition of organic dairy milk, and the milk content of bioactive components such as tocopherols, carotenoids, selenium (Se) and phytoestrogens. The project has also investigated the biological activity of the collected dairy milk samples from the Nordic countries on normal and cancer cells. The results of the four year project (2007-2011) will be presented at this seminar.10.30 – 10.45 Welcome 10.45 – 11.00  PhytoMilk an overview, A-M Gustavsson 11.00 – 11.15  Latitude and harvest time affect FA composition and phytoestrogen content of forages.

S Purup and S-K Jensen14.30 - 14.45  Question and discussion14.45 – 15.00  Closing, Core Organic Secretary, U. BertelsenAnne-Maj Gustavsson is crop scien-tist working mostly with perennial grasses and legumes. Her research has been to investigate how chemical composition and feed properties of forages are affected by harvest time and by environmental and manage-ment factors. The research has also investigated the dynamics of nutrient utilization in dairy production sys-tems, and the relationship between forage and feed, and ruminant prod-uct quality.Håvard Steinshamn is grassland sci-entist with strong interest in rumi-nant nutrition, particularly in organic managed systems. His research has been on grassland management, for-age quality and utilization, nutrient utilization in dairy production sys-tems, and on relationship between forage and feed properties and rumi-nant product quality. Søren Krogh Jensen, senior scien-tist, Ph.D. Research interest is within biochemistry and animal nutrition with special emphasis on fat soluble vitamins, antioxidants, lipids and li-pid oxidation, as well as the physi-ological importance of anti-nutrients in rapeseed and legumes.Annika Höjer is PhD student. Her pro-ject is about fatty acid composition, and fat-soluble vitamin and phytoes-trogen concentration in organic for-age and dairy milk. She will study the effects of silage harvest system, bo-tanical composition, growth site and conservation method.Hanna Lindqvist is PhD-student in animal science and she is focusing on vitamins in forage and in ruminant nutrition. Her research has been on alpha-tocopherol and beta-carotene content in forage mixtures harvested at different maturity stages. She has also studied the effect on vitamins during ensiling with different silage additives and effects of a semi-nat-ural vitamin E supplement offered to organic dairy cows at the transition period around calving.  Stig Purup, senior scientist, Depart-ment of Animal Health and Biosci-ence, Aarhus University, is the leader of the cell biology laboratory at the department. He has more than 20 years of research experience in ani-mal and cell physiology and estab-lishment of cell-based models for screening and testing of biological effects. The portfolio of cell-based models includes more than 25 cell-based models comprising primary cells and normal or transformed can-cer cell lines from human, porcine, bovine and rodent tissues.PhytoMilkSteffen Adler is PhD-student in ruminant physiology and nu-trition. His research is on the effect of grassland manage-ment on milk quality in organic farming, focusing on fatty acid composition and concentration of fat soluble vitamins in bovine milk.Erling Thuen, PhD degree in animal nutrition from the Nor-wegian University of Live Sciences (UMB) in 1990.Main field of research and teaching is dairy cow nutrition with emphasis on energy and protein supplementation. Er-ling Thuen has conducted several production experiments in organic milk production together with Bioforsk Organic, Norway.Kari Marie Njåstad is MSc-student in Animal Science at the Department of Animal and Aquacultural Sciences, Norwe-gian University of Life Sciences. Elisabet Nadeau is an associate professor in animal science at the section of Production Systems, Department of Animal Environment and Health, SLU Skara, Sweden, with a strong interest in the interaction between forage quality and ru-minant nutrition. Her research focuses on field trials and conservation experiments with different types of forages, including whole-crop maize, and forage feeding trials with dairy cows, sheep and beef cattle.Eeva Kuusela is a senior lecturer with strong interest in agroecology and organic farming systems, especially in Nordic organic dairy farming and its ‘bottlenecks’ such as grazing management and selenium supplementation and re-cently in relationship between animal feeding and product quality.    This project is funded by Core Organic Funding Body Network. Web: http://phytomilk.coreportal.org
