Milk and dairy products are fundamental items in all social groups’ diets. The production of functional milk supplemented with plant extracts is a potential direction research the sector. In present study, chufa (tiger nut) was mixed buffalo for manufacturing frozen yoghurt. Flavoring materials (orange (O), strawberry (St), cocoa (Co), instant coffee “soluble coffee” classic (N) cinnamon (Ci)) ...

Introduction Mastitis is one of the most economically important diseases of milch animals and also causes the changes in glandular tissues affecting quality and quantity of milk [1]. Mastitis continues to be the most costly disease of dairy animals. Field surveys of major livestock diseases in Pakistan have ranked mastitis as number one disease of dairy animals [2,3]. In Nili-Ravi buffaloes, ma...

The aim of this study was to define the microbiota of water buffalo milk during sub-clinical and clinical mastitis, as compared to healthy status, by using high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene. A total of 137 quarter samples were included in the experimental design: 27 samples derived from healthy, culture negative quarters, with a Somatic Cell Count (SCC) of less than 200,000 cells/...

Considering the importance of monitoring adulterations of genuine cheeses in the dairy industry, a polymerase chain reaction–based method was developed to detect bovine-specific mitochondrial DNA sequence in Italian water buffalo Mozzarella cheese. DNA was isolated from cheese matrix and governing liquid by organic extractions and kit purifications. Amplifications of a 134-bp fragment were perf...

In this study, it was aimed to investigate α -S1-casein and β -lactoglobulin levels some biochemical mineral values in raw milk samples obtained from cows, buffaloes, sheep, goats raised Samsun. The study material consisted of 40 taken goats, sheep buffaloes after milking a farm Samsun province Bafra district. α-S1-casein β-lactoglobulin serum were determined using ELISA test kits. Calcium (Ca)...

Present study was aimed to discover the single nucleotide variation present in exon 40 region of the Fatty Acid Synthase (FASN) gene. FASN plays a central role in de novo lipogenesis in mammals and variation in this enzyme may affect economic traits including fatty acid composition of buffalo milk. A total of 80 DNA samples in two riverine buffalo breeds namely, Gojri and Chhattisgarhi were scr...

The authors estimated the rates of development of serum antibodies against Brucella abortus, between January 1987 and December 1990, in female Jersey cattle and buffalo weaned from seropositive and seronegative dams, and used logistic regression analysis to examine the epidemiological relationship of these rates with the serum antibody status of dams. The offspring from both seropositive and se...

β4GalT-I interacts with α-lactalbumin to form the lactose synthase in mammary gland. Considering the biological function of the lactose synthase complex, β4GalT-I gene can be considered as a candidate gene for milk production in dairy animals. The bovine β4GalT-I gene, 3,283 base pairs in length, is mapped on chromosome 8. The present research work was planned to identify the polymorphism in β4...
