IS 978-91-85913-46-6, ISSN: 1652-6880 Variations within the bovine milk protein profile can have both positive and negative impacts on the quality of cheese milk. As main contributors to the cheese structure, the caseins are important for the cheese yield. During the...

Background: Mastitis is a mammary gland inflammation that very common worldwide, mostly caused by bacteria, and causes enormous economic losses. Many microorganisms cause this disease. The most of mastitis these are Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Escherichia coli (E. coli) Streptococcus agalactiae agalactiae). anti-inflammatory properties transforming growth factor (TGF)-? include: 1) limit...

AIM The present study was aimed to study the use of cell counts as an early indicator of mammary health. MATERIALS AND METHODS Milk and blood cell counts were estimated from 8 healthy, 8 subclinical (SCM), and 8 clinically mastitis (CM) groups of Karan Fries (KF) cows. RESULTS Total leucocyte counts and neutrophil percent in blood and milk somatic cells and milk neutrophil percent of health...

Fortynine quarters from 24 lactating cows with chronic mastitis were selected. The cows were raised on dairy farms in Korea. The 49 quarters with bovine mastitis were divided into control (7 quarters) and experimental (42 quarters) groups. The experimental quarters were assigned to experimental group A (10 quarters), experimental group B (14 quarters), and experimental group C (18 quarters), ac...

ABSTRACT The objective of this work was to compare the dry matter intake, milk yield and quality, physiological biochemical parameters in Holstein (n=10) Jersey cows under heat stress insolation, two treatments: CL - cooling by ventilation sprinkling HS insolation. Data were submitted ANOVA. There an interaction between treatment breed day effect for intake. For consumption % body weight, consu...

Introduction Milk somatic cell count is considered as an indicator for raw milk quality and udder health status in dairy cows (4, 6). Many approaches have been made to determine milk somatic cell counts in dairy cow and goat both in the field and laboratory including California Mastitis Test (CMT, a cow side test), Fossomatic cell count (FSCC), and Direct Microscopic Count (DMC) (1,7). These co...

The major alteration in the milk composition due to mastitis includes presence of somatic cells (neutrophills, monocytes, macrophages and mammary epithelial cells), bactericidal and bacteriostatic compounds and certain enzymes. Antibiotic residue violation and presence of foodborn pathogens with/without their toxins is another threat of immense importance. These changes in the milk account for ...

Test-day records of somatic cell count (SCC), milk yield, fat and protein content and six linearly scored type traits (fore udder attachment, udder depth, central ligament, rear udder height, front teat placement, teat length) of 22 613 first lactation cows from 117 herds were included in this study. SCC was log-transformed into somatic cell score (SCS). Milk yield was standardized as follows: ...
