BACKGROUND Perchlorate and thiocyanate interfere with iodide uptake at the sodium-iodide symporter and are potential disruptors of thyroid hormone synthesis. Perchlorate is a common contaminant of water, food, and human milk. Although it is known that iodide undergoes significant diurnal variations in serum and urinary excretion, less is known about diurnal variations of milk iodide levels. O...

Use of raw milk and dairy products containing aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) has led to concern inconsumers. The present study determined the AFM1 in raw cow's milk in Qazvinprovince. In this research, 170 raw cow's milk were collected from dairy farm, dairyfactories, milk collection centers, and milk supply centers in Qazvin province during coldseasons in 2013, and all samples were examined for AFM1. The...

the aim of this study was to evaluate aflatoxin contamination in feed and milk in dairy farm in kermanshah. alfalfa, corn silage and milk samples from 9 industrial and semi industrial dairy farms were collected during 2 months. blood samples were collected via tail venipuncture from 10 % of dairy cows in each farm for biochemical and hematological parameters. aflatoxin contamination in feeds an...

This study was designed to evaluate serum and milk amyloid A (SAA) as an inflammatory indicator in inflammatory diseases. Twenty clinically healthy cows and 100 cows with various inflammatory diseases were selected for this study. Blood samples were collected from the coccygeal vein of both healthy and diseased groups. Milk samples were taken from four quarters of both groups. Milk samples of f...

Hydration kinetics of tef flour breakfast cereals extruded at barrel temperatures of 110, 130, and 150°C was investigated by hydrating them in water and whole milk at 25°C (±1°C). The normalized Weibull model described the rehydration characteristics of the extrudates in water and milk adequately (R (2) = 0.98-0.99). Water absorption rate was significantly (P < 0.05) influenced by barrel temper...

tetracyclines (tcs) are broad-spectrum antibiotics that are used widely in veterinary medicine. the present study was carried out to trace the residues of oxytetracycline (otc) and tetracycline (tc) in pasteurized milk that is marketed in tehran with the use of a high performance liquid chromatography (hplc). ninety milk samples were collected during five sequential days from the products of si...

The detection and quantification of different pesticides in the goat milk samples collected from different localities of Faisalabad, Pakistan was performed by HPLC using solid phase microextraction. The analysis showed that about 50% milk samples were contaminated with pesticides. The mean±SEM levels (ppm) of cyhalothrin, endosulfan, chlorpyrifos and cypermethrin were 0.34±0.007, 0.063±0.002, 0...
