Milk is one of the most beneficial aliments and is highly recommended in normal conditions; however, in certain disorders, like irritable bowel syndrome, cow milk and dairy products worsen the gastric symptoms and their use is not recommended. Among the most recognized milk-induced gatrointestinal symptoms are abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, which are processes controlled by cholinergic an...

Salmonella spp. and Listeria monocytogenes are foodborne pathogens of global importance. We assessed their risks and associated factors in a highly dynamic population of animals. Animal and environmental samples were collected from dairy cattle, sheep, camel and chickens at either the farms or the abattoirs. The pathogens were detected using a combination of bacterial enrichment culture and rea...

The study of the detailed composition of milk is mainly limited to the few commercially exploited animals such as the cow (Bos taurus), sheep (Ovis aries), goat (Capra hircus), camel (Camelus bactrianus), water buffalo (Buabalus bubalis) and yak (Bos grunniens) (Jennes and Patton 1976; Oftedal 1984; Park and Haenlein 2004). For most other animals, the information is limited to the content of th...

Abstract Milk from different species has been exploited for the isolation of various functional ingredients decades. Irrespective source, milk is considered as a complete food, it provides essential nutrients required by human body. Proteins and their fractions are valuable sources bioactive peptides that might exert health beneficial role in body such immune-modulation, antioxidant activity, A...

The purpose of the present study was to assess the effect of modified camel milk (MCAM) and skim cow milk (SCOM) on semen quality of INRA180 and Boujaâd ram breeds, stored at 15°C for up to 24 hours. Semen samples were collected from eleven mature rams (6 from INRA180 and 5 from Boujaâd rams) and extended in SCOM vs MCAM, to reach a final concentration of 0.8×109 spermatozoa/mL, and stored at 1...

Beneficial effects of breastfeeding are well-recognized and include both immediate neonatal protection against pathogens and long-term protection against allergies and autoimmune diseases. Although several proteins have been identified to have anti-viral or anti-bacterial effects like secretory IgA or lactoferrin, the mechanisms of immune modulation are not fully understood. Recent studies iden...

BACKGROUND Yersinia species, especially Yersinia enterocolitica, are considered as the most prevalent milk-borne pathogens. Several serological and molecular techniques have been developed for rapid and safe diagnosis of yersiniosis. OBJECTIVES This study was carried out to assess the prevalence rate of Yersinia species, especially Y. enterocolitica, in milk and dairy products in Isfahan prov...

the aim of this study was to determine physicochemical, microbial properties and antioxidant activityof fermented camel milk (chal) and introduce it as a functional food. the protein content of thesamples was determined using kjeldahl method and total dry matter using oven drying method. theamount of fat content with gerber method and ph was measured using a ph meter. antioxidantactivity was al...
