This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bovine mastitis remains a primary focus of dairy cattle disease research due to its negative economic impact on the dairy industry. In Canada, total losses are estimated more than four hundred million dollars per year, or about 15 % of the industry's total net revenue. Clinical mastitis is associated with visible local and systemic signs of inflammation of the udder. In contrast, subclinical mastitis (SCM) lacks clinical signs and often leads to persistent and chronic infections that represent a serious problem to the dairy industry. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common contagious pathogen associated with bovine SCM. Current diagnosis of S. aureus SCM is based on bacteriological culture of milk samples and somatic cell counts both of have limitations. The main objective of this study was to identify, characterize and quantify the differential expression of whey proteins in milk samples collected from healthy control cows and cows that are infected with S. aureus SCM utilizing different proteomic approaches. The first study characterized variations in the composition of the whey proteome in healthy and S. aureus mastitic milk samples using an optimized fractionation strategy to enrich for low- abundance proteins. Fractionation of the whey proteins using low speed ultracentrifugation resulted in partial depletion of casein and minimized protein losses. In addition, two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis enhanced the separation and resolution of low abundant whey proteins. In the second study, 2D-DIGE coupled with liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) showed the differentially expressed proteomic signatures of S. aureus-positive whey fractions compared to samples from healthy controls. Twenty-eight upregulated proteins in mastitic milk were identified, 11 of which had related host defense functions. In the third study, quantitative proteomic analyses using direct LC-MS/MS and label-free quantification resulted in identification of 90 proteins in both control and mastitic milk samples of which 25 proteins were differentially regulated including pathogen-recognition and acute phase proteins. The comprehensive proteomic and bioinformatics analyses resulted in four candidate biomarkers including cathelicidin-4, haptoglobin, cathepsin B and lactotransferrin for mastitis diagnosis that also provide insight to understanding the role of milk proteins in host-pathogen interaction during S. aureus intramammary infection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes the results achieved so far by application of various biological systems (including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) involved in the pathomechanisms and early diagnosis of periparturient diseases as specific biomarkers of disease in cattle. These emerging technologies help to extensively enhance our understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of periparturient diseases of transition dairy cows. The book includes a chapter dedicated to ‘omics’ sciences and one that discusses the myths established in animal and veterinary sciences in recent decades and emerging, new paradigms. The diseases discussed include metritis, mastitis, laminitis, ketosis, rumen acidosis, periparturient immunosuppression, gastrointestinal microbiota and their involvement in disease, infertility, fatty liver, milk fever, and retained placenta. This book is intended for academics, veterinarians, animal nutritionists, researchers, and graduate students working in the field of ‘omics sciences’ with a special interest in dairy cattle health.

Download or read book The gestating and lactating sow written by Chantal Farmer and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-09-04 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last book on the lactating sow was published over 15 years ago. This new book brings us up to date in current knowledge on the gestating and lactating sow. It covers new and important topics such as conditioning of gilts for optimal reproductive performance, feeding high fibre diets to gestating sows and providing various fat sources in gestation and lactation. It also describes the several key success factors to group-housing systems in gestation, which is a must due to the current move towards group-housing. The new concept of transition feeding for sows is discussed, as well as the factors involved in mammary development of gilts and sows, both of which are instrumental for maximum colostrum and/or milk yields. The impact of the human-animal interactions on sow welfare and performance is discussed with focus on new handling practices that could be developed to overbalance the negative interactions inherent to pig management systems. Updates on must-have topics, such as amino acid and energy requirements of sows, colostrum and milk yield and composition, and sow health are also provided. The subjects covered in this book will assist animal scientists, nutritionists, veterinarians and swine producers in learning the most recent information on relevant and current topics affecting sow production, and in knowing which areas are in need of further research efforts.

Download or read book Milk Quality written by F. Harding and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-12-14 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Milk has played a major contribution to the human diet in many different countries across the world since the dawn of time. The dairy cow was domesticated over 6000 years ago, she was the object of worship in the Middle East 2000 years before Christ, and milk and milk products are mentioned more than 50 times in the Bible. Milk and dairy products have become a major part of the human diet in many countries. It is not surprising therefore, that over many years considerable attention has been paid to improving the quality of milk. We have worked to improve the yield, the compositional quality and the hygienic quality, and have striven to minimise the level of contaminants which can find access to this, perhaps our most natural, unrefined and highly nutritious foodstuff. The chain of people involved in the milk industry extends from milk production-farmers, veterinarians and farm advisors-through transport to processing-quality controllers, manufacturers-and on to retailers, legislators, nutritionists, dairy educators and consumers. All will be interested in the quality parameters of milk which are reg ularly measured for commercial reasons, for trade, for legal requirements and for reasons of nutrition.

Download or read book Human Milk and Lactation written by Maria Lorella Gianni and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human milk is uniquely tailored to meet infants’ specific nutritional requirements. However, it is more than just “milk”. This dynamic and bioactive fluid allows mother–infant signalling over lactation, guiding the infant in the developmental and physiological processes. It exerts protection and life-long biological effects, playing a crucial role in promoting healthy growth and optimal cognitive development. The latest scientific advances have provided insight into different components of human milk and their dynamic changes over time. However, the complexity of human milk composition and the synergistic mechanisms responsible for its beneficial health effects have not yet been unravelled. Filling this knowledge gap will shed light on the biology of the developing infant and will contribute to the optimization of infant feeding, particularly that of the most vulnerable infants. Greater understanding of human milk will also help in elucidating the best strategies for its storage and handling. The increasing knowledge on human milk’s bioactive compounds together with the rapidly-advancing technological achievements will greatly enhance their use as prophylactic or therapeutic agents. The current Special Issue aims to welcome original works and literature reviews further exploring the complexity of human milk composition, the mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects associated with breastfeeding, and the factors and determinants involved in lactation, including its promotion and support.
