The objective of this study was to determine the effect of colostrum on microbial populations of yogurt and kefir. For this purpose, raw bovine colostrum is freeze-dried and added to yogurt and kefir on 8% and 16% (w/w; colostrum/product) dilutions. The results showed that, effect of colostrum on total mesophilic aerobic bacteria counts of yogurt and kefir are negligible. Streptococcus thermoph...

Introduction Kefir grains with efficient proteolytic system is an excellent starter culture for the production of bioactive peptides and milk products. This study explores casein derived from fermented bovine by kefir using peptidomics approaches. The angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity these were also investigated. Methods After fermentation, based on LC-MS/MS was used to i...

OBJECTIVE The main causes of spinal cord ischemia are a variety of vascular pathologies causing acute arterial occlusions. We investigated neuroprotective effects of kefir on spinal cord ischemia injury in rats. METHODS Rats were divided into three groups : 1) sham operated control rats; 2) spinal cord ischemia group fed on a standard diet without kefir pretreatment; and 3) spinal cord ischem...

The biochemical changes occurring during cheese ripening are directly and indirectly dependent on the microbial associations of starter cultures. Freeze-dried Tibetan kefir coculture was used as a starter culture in the Camembert-type cheese production for the first time. Therefore, it's necessary to elucidate the stability, organization and identification of the dominant microbiota presented i...

Kefir is a fermented beverage produced through the activity of its grains, which constituted by lactic acid and acetic bacteria yeasts. We studied bacterial succession during multiple fermentation Argentinian kefir in brown sugar, purified molasses or high-test molasses, using 16S high-throughput sequencing. Firmicutes was dominant (up to 98% total population) grains beverages made from various...

The aim of this research was to determine the microbiota commercial kefir, koumiss and homemade kefir samples using metagenomic analysis compare some probiotic properties lactic acid bacteria isolated from these beverages Lactobacillus casei, used in yakult production. One koumiss, 5 commercially available with different brands, 1 were as samples. Microbial diversity determined by analysis, tar...

In a 3-yr study, corn dried distillers grains plus solubles (DDGS) were evaluated as a substitute for forage and N fertilizer in yearling steers grazing smooth bromegrass. A total of 135 steers (330 +/- 10 kg) were used in a randomized complete block design to measure the effects of DDGS supplementation and N fertilization on animal and pasture performance. Steers were initially stocked at 6.8 ...

The objective of this study was to assess the value of triticale dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) as a replacement for barley silage in addition to a portion of the dry-rolled barley (DRB) in a grain-based feedlot finishing diet. The trial used 160 crossbred yearling steers: 144 noncannulated (478 +/- 84 kg) in a complete randomized design, and 16 ruminally cannulated (494 +/- 50 kg...
