California Mastitis Test Scores of Individual Quarters Compared With Composite Milk Samples and With Milk Leucocyte Counts

Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing on Milk Samples

The number of antimicrobial agents that can be applied in a routine test is limited. To make testing relevant and practical, it makes sense to include those antibiotics for which commercial preparations are available on the market. In most antibiotic groups, representative molecules can be selected with the same spectrum of activity and full cross-resistance. This approach can deliver reliable ...

Heat identification by 17β-estradiol and progesterone quantification in individual raw milk samples by enzyme immunoassay

Background: There is a substantial decline in first-service-pregnancy-rate in dairy cows. In this regard, future prospects are to measure milk hormones on-farm and progesterone levels in milk are not enough to precise ovulation unless connected to other data. The objectives of this study were to investigate whether 17β-estradiol could be measured from individual cow milk samples using a commerc...

Individual Characteristics Associated with PBDE Levels in U.S. Human Milk Samples

BACKGROUND Reported polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) concentrations in human samples in the United States have been higher than in Europe and Asia. Little is known about factors that contribute to individual variability in body burden. OBJECTIVE In this large study we measured PBDE concentrations in human milk from the United States during 2004-2006. We assessed characteristics associated...
