In milk processing, special emphasis is directed to fostering the taste and healthy values of goat milk. Therapeutic properties of goat milk are very well known. Comparison of cow and goat milk at the level of chemical composition suggests significant differences in their physical and chemical characteristics. Smaller diameter of fat globules (natural homogeneity), high portion of essential ami...

Brucellosis, a zoonotic disease particularly affecting goats, emerged in Thailand in 2003, resulting in both an occupational hazard for goat keepers and livestock officers, and production losses. Farm management practices have been identified as risk factors associated with Brucella sero-positivity in many studies. Our finding in this study should be considered in order to strengthen the system...

OBJECTIVE We present two adult and three paediatric patients who had allergic reactions after cheese ingestion and subsequently tolerated cow's milk derivatives. The objective of this study was to determine possible cross-reactivity between different types of cheese. METHODS Skin tests were performed to cow's milk fractions, and prick-prick tests for goat, sheep and cow cheese. Specific IgE t...

Livestock markets are characterised by imperfections, distortions, and efficiency problems that impact livestock marketing. The purpose of this research was to analyse the sheep goat marketing system in Benin using structure-conduct-performance (SCP) approach. Primary data were collected from 215 small ruminant traders selected 21 calculate market concentration degree, margin, efficiency. four ...

The majority of animal feeding trials using GM feeds indicated no clinical effects while as concerns histopathological abnormalities in organs or tissues of exposed animals, the results are conflicting. Several data indicate liver and kidney problems as end points of GM diet effects. In rabbit fed GM soybean, it was hypothesised that cell metabolism of several enzymes was altered as well as ele...

Abstract Antioxidants are natural or synthetic substances that delay oxidation through one more mechanisms, such as scavenging free radicals, inhibiting lipid peroxidation, and complexing with metals, tissue destruction via oxidation. commonly used in animal feed the food industry to prevent of animal-origin products. Moreover, oxidants increasingly reproduction, especially for semen preservati...

The aim of this study is to show the importance and significance of goat milk . Goat is known as poor man’s cow .It play a vital role in the socio-economic structure of rural poor. Goat milk contains higher amount of Ca, Mg and P than cow and human milk but vitamin D, vitamin B12 and folate contents are less. Although fat and protein is somewhat low in goat milk than cow milk, but there is a no...

The peptide hormone ghrelin is the only known protein modified with an O-linked octanoyl side group, which occurs on its third serine residue. This modification is crucial for ghrelin's physiological effects including regulation of feeding, adiposity, and insulin secretion. Despite the crucial role for octanoylation in the physiology of ghrelin, the lipid transferase that mediates this novel mo...

Ghrelin is the only known hormone posttranslationally modified with an acylation. This modification is crucial for most of ghrelin's physiological effects and is catalyzed by the polytopic enzyme ghrelin O-acyltransferase (GOAT). The aim of this study was to characterize GOAT in a teleost model, goldfish (Carassius auratus). First, the full-length cDNA sequence was obtained by RT-PCR and rapid ...
