The potential spread of prion infectivity in secreta is a crucial concern for prion disease transmission. Here, serial protein misfolding cyclic amplification (sPMCA) allowed the detection of prions in milk from clinically affected animals as well as scrapie-exposed sheep at least 20 months before clinical onset of disease, irrespective of the immunohistochemical detection of protease-resistant...

Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality mountain sheep milk obtained from animals kept on pastures: natural and organic. experimental procedure conducted under production conditions, during annual grazing two pastures in region Polish Carpathians: organic pasture certified for farming belonging National Park. This showed greater plant species diversity pasture, but its yi...

This article seeks to increase science and public awareness of the indispensible health implications of yogurt as a natural abundant probiotic, food and medicine. The word ‘yogurt’ is originally Turkish, describing a curdled or a coagulated milk product resulted from bacterial fermentation. These bacteria, named yogurt cultures, ferment lactose to lactic acid and process milk proteins towards s...

Due to its rarity and unique biological traits, as well as its growing financial value, milk of dairy Greek small ruminants is continuously attracting interest from both the scientific community and industry. For the construction of the present dataset, cutting-edge proteomics methodologies were employed, in order to investigate and characterize, for the first time, the milk whey proteome from ...

Domestic goats are raised for meat, milk and hair production, in herds for rangeland weed control, and as pack animals. Domestic sheep, goats and wild bighorn sheep are all susceptible to a multifactorial pneumonia. We sampled 43 herd goats from 7 herds and 48 pack goats from 11 herds for viral and bacterial serology, parasitology, and Pasteurellaceae microbiology. The goats in this study were ...

Morphological traits of the whole udder (circumference, width, height, and length), teats (angle, length and width), udder cistern (teat opening and cistern height), and milk yield were measured over one lactation in a total of 18 ewes (nine Chilota and nine Suffolk Down sheep) belonging to the same experimental flock (Centro Experimental INIA Butalcura, Chiloé, Chile). Analysis of variance sho...

Milk protein is beneficial for the health of infants and mainly derived from bovine, sheep, goat or camel milk. High Fischer ratio peptides usually comprise two to nine amino acid residues. The computed as a molar between branched-chain acids (BCAAs) over aromatic (AAAs) with various claimed health-promoting functions. In this Lilliput review, classification nutritional functions milk proteins ...

Although sheep milk production is a significant sector for the European Mediterranean countries, it shows serious competitiveness gaps. Minimizing the ecological impacts of dairy sheep farming systems could represent a key factor for farmers to bridging the gaps in competitiveness of such systems and also obtaining public incentives. However, scarce is the knowledge about the environmental perf...

The objective of this study was to know the herd and animal level prevalence of Q fever in domestic ruminants in some selected districts in Bangladesh. Randomly collected 111 bulk milk and 94 sera samples of cattle, sheep, and goats were tested by indirect ELISA (iELISA). DNA extracted from 23 aborted fetal membranes was analyzed by real time (rt) PCR. The positive cut-off value of iELISA in bu...

contagious agalactia (c.a) is an infectious syndrome of sheep that is characterized by mastitis and subsequent failure of milk production, arthritis, abortion and keratoconjunctivitis. mycoplasma agalactiae (m. agalactiae) is the main cause of the disease in sheep. the aim of this study was isolation and identification of m. agalactiae with culture and polymerase chain reaction (pcr) assay f...
