Lakeland Dairies creates World Milk Day resource for care homes

Jun 05, 2023

By Edward Waddell

Dairy experts Lakeland Dairies has collaborated with National Activities Provider Association (NAPA) to produce a World Milk Day Resource specifically for care homes.

The resource is designed to ‘inspire’ catering and wellbeing teams to do something a little different. It contains a specialist range of engaging activities including recipes, poetry, a creative writing task, a tasting session and a reminiscence activity all celebrating ‘the goodness of milk’.

World Milk Day (1st June) was established more than 20 years ago by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations to recognise the importance of milk as a global food and to celebrate the dairy sector. Globally, dairy supports the livelihood of one billion people.

Everyone who downloads the Lakeland Dairies World Milk Day Resource will be automatically entered into a free prize draw for a chance to win a case (6 x 2kg bags) of Lakeland Dairies 100% Dairy Skimmed Milk Powder. Download the resource and enter the draw here.

Video: Porcine Gut Models in Nutrition Research - Dr. Li-Hsuan Chen

In this episode of The Swine Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, Dr. Li-Hsuan Chen, postdoc researcher at Aarhus University, discusses how porcine intestinal cell lines and organoids can help study the impact of nutrition on gut health. He explains how in vivo piglet trials identify diet-driven shifts in microbiota and metabolites, while in vitro models allow researchers to test specific metabolites, barrier function, immune markers, and future organ-on-chip systems before moving back to animal studies. Listen now on all major platforms!

"In vitro models can reduce early animal use by helping researchers screen nutritional candidates before moving back to in vivo trials."

Meet the guest: Dr. Li-Hsuan Chen / li-hsuan-chen-9a95a7279 is a postdoc researcher at Aarhus University in Denmark. Research focuses on porcine gut health, host-microbe interactions, cell lines, and organoids, with PhD work at Aarhus University studying how dietary protein and amino acid levels shape gut microbiota, microbial metabolites, and intestinal epithelial responses.
