While there is rich literature on the various sectors of the milk market, a contribution to this literature was made by providing a specific econometric analysis of the Promised Land brand. Previous work conducted by Capps and Salin (2010) provided the foundation for this thesis. The purpose of this thesis was threefold: 1. Estimate household demand functions for Promised Land white and chocolate milk using Nielsen homescan data. The demand functions were estimated using a tobit model to estimate the conditional and unconditional own-price and cross-price effects of Promised Land white and chocolate milk. 2. Assess the impacts of household demographic drivers of demand for Promised Land white and chocolate milk. 3. Use the empirical results derived from the tobit model to identify substitutes and complements of Promised Land white and chocolate milk and provide a profile of households that purchase Promised Land white and chocolate milk. The study concluded that households who purchased Promised Land white were insensitive to changes in the price of Promised Land white milk. The price of private label milk was the only cross-price that was significant in the quantity of Promised Land white milk purchased. The estimated elasticities showed that Promised Land white milk and private label white milk were substitutes. From the estimated elasticities, it was found that households that purchased Promised Land chocolate milk were largely insensitive to changes in the price of Promised Land chocolate milk. It was also found that the prices of Nesquick, Oak Farms, and private label chocolate milk had a significant effect on the quantity of Promised Land chocolate milk purchased. Of these significant prices, private label and Oak Farms chocolate milk were substitutes for Promised Land chocolate milk. The price of Nesquick chocolate milk demonstrated a complementary relationship with Promised Land chocolate milk.Item Grain sorghums for milk production(Texas Tech University, 1934-05) Vannoy, Maurice PearceNot availableItem The hypotensive effects of conventional non-fat dairy products : the role of arterial stiffness(2014-08) Machin, Daniel Robert; Tanaka, Hirofumi, Ph. D.High consumption of dairy products, particularly non-fat dairy, is associated with reduced risk of high blood pressure and vascular dysfunction. Currently, it is not known if the solitary addition of conventional non-fat dairy products to the normal routine diet is capable of reducing blood pressure or improving vascular function. Accordingly, the primary aims of the present study were to determine if the solitary addition of conventional non-fat dairy products to the normal routine diet would reduce blood pressure and improve vascular function in middle-aged and older adults with elevated blood pressure. Using a randomized, crossover intervention study design, forty-nine adults with elevated blood pressure underwent a High Dairy condition (+4 servings/day of conventional non-fat dairy products) and isocaloric No Dairy condition (+4 servings/day fruit products) in which all dairy products were removed. Both dietary conditions lasted 4 weeks with a 2-week washout before crossing over into the alternate condition. In Study 1, the High Dairy condition produced reductions in brachial systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure. The hypotensive effects were observed within three weeks after the initiation of dietary intervention and in both casual seated and ambulatory (24-hour) measurements. On the contrary, pulse pressure was increased after removal of all dairy products in the No Dairy condition compared to baseline and after in the High Dairy condition. There were no changes in diastolic blood pressure after either dietary condition. In Study 2, the High Dairy condition produced reductions in carotid systolic blood pressure, pulse pressure, and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity with a concomitant increase in brachial flow-mediated dilation and cardiovagal baroreflex sensitivity. Brachial flow-mediated dilation decreased and carotid pulse pressure increased after removal of all dairy products in the No Dairy condition. Furthermore, [delta] carotid systolic blood pressure and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity were highly related. Taken together, we concluded that the solitary manipulation of conventional dairy products, particularly non-fat dairy, in the normal routine diet would modulate levels of blood pressure and vascular function in middle-aged and older adults with pre-hypertension and hypertension.Item Inhibition of C. difficile toxin a receptor binding by cow's milk, cow's formula, and soy formula(Texas Tech University, 1996-12) Cheng, Stephen H.Not Available.Item Some selected chemical and physical properties of cultured milks enriched by solids(Texas Tech University, 1957-06) Jaynes, John A.Not availableItem The Effect of the Dairy Herd Ration Upon the Susceptibility of Milk to Induced Hydrolytic Rancidity(Texas Tech University, 1957-08) Gilmore, W.
