E-mail address: [email protected] Silage has been the prevailing type of preserved forage for cattle feeding in many countries. Carry-over of some components from silage to cow’s milk has been thus of concern. Silage is a richer source of available provitamins A, o...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect milking hygiene practices, herd size, water hardness, and temperature-humidity index (THI) on physicochemical microbiological characteristics raw milk, standard plate count (SPC) in machines dairy farms central region Mexico. Data were collected from fifty-three during one year. evaluated effects included conditions (good, medium, poor), si...

: Milk samples from 285 cows in 15 dairy herds were collected for bacteriological analysis. Cows were selected on the basis of a somatic cell count (SCC) exceeding 200,000 cells per ml at the three most recent milk recordings prior to sampling. Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus uberis were the predominant isolates accounting for 21% (n = 61) and 19% (n = 53) of isolates, respectively. Str...

The objective of this study was to identify factors associated with bulk milk coliform count (CC). Dairy farms (n=10) were visited once weekly on sequential weekdays over a period of 10 wk. During each visit, in-line drip samplers were used to collect 1 milk sample from 2 points of the milk line (between the receiver jar and milk filters, and after the plate cooler). During the same period that...

The aim of this analysis was to investigate the strength of the association between sugar intake and treatment for dental decay in children in Scotland, and the impact of tooth brushing frequency on this association. The Survey of Sugar Intake among Children in Scotland was carried out in 2006 in those aged 3-17 years. Diet was assessed using the Scottish Collaborative Group FFQ, and interviews...

In April 2016, a female infant was born via Cesarean delivery at 29 estimated gestational weeks and had a birthweight of 3 pounds (1,405 grams). Her clinical course in the neonatal intensive care unit was unremarkable until she developed signs of sepsis at age 21 days. Cultures of blood and cerebrospinal fluid yielded Cronobacter sakazakii, a gram-negative pathogenic bacillus. Despite treatment...

Introduction: The antioxidant properties of chocolate and other flavored additives besides the sugar added to milk raises the question about the acidogenecity of flavored milk. This study was conducted to measure the pH changes of dental plaque and saliva after the consumption of flavored milk and evaluate the antioxidant property of them. Methods: This study was performed on 42 samples of d...

A cross sectional study was conducted during October and November 2006 on 69 smallholder dairy farms with lactating cows in Mvomero and Njombe districts Tanzania, to determine the prevalence of mastitis and to assess the milk quality on the study farms. Clinical mastitis was investigated using clinical changes of udder and milk at animal level. Cow-side California Mastitis Test (CMT) and microb...

The aim of the study was to determine the impact of residues of detergents and disinfectants on the results of most commonly used inhibitor tests for raw milk. Microbiological test (Delvotest SP-NT) and three rapid tests (Charm 3 MRL BL/TET2, Charm ROSA MRL BL/TET and Penzym) were used in the study. Three concentrations (recommended by the manufacturer, 10 times lower and twice higher) of 36 de...
