This study was performed to investigate the effects of recombinant BST formulation treatment on the milk yield, milk components, mastitis, and general cow health condition when the formulations of retinyl palmitate, cholecalciferol and rBST were administered after the peak period of milk production. The milk yields of treatment groups (Group I, II, III and IV) were increased from 21.5% to 29.0% than that of control group. There was significant difference in milk production between treatment group II, IV and control group (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in milk production between treatment group I, III and control group (P<0.05). And the addition of retinyl palmitate and cholecalciferol into rBST formulation did not increase the milk yield. The milk of treatment groups with sustained-release rBST did not show significant difference in milk components (milk fat, protein, lactose, and solid not fat). However, there were minor changes, primarily in fat content of milk, during the first few weeks of rBST administration. There was no incidence of clinical mastitis between rBST treatment groups and control group. Addition of high and medium concentration of retinyl palmitate and cholecalciferol into sustained-release rBST formulation was efficient in reduction of somatic cell count in milk. There was great energy deficit in all treatment groups compared with control group during the early study period. Thus, the body condition score of all treatment groups showed lower value than control group. No evidences of metabolic health problems, such as ketosis, milk fever, and downer cow were observed. Incidence of general lameness did not appear on all treatment groups during 140 days of this study.

Broccoli sprouts are an excellent source of health-promoting phytochemicals, such as glucosinolates, phenols, and vitamins. In this investigation, oil extracted from broccoli was adjusted to various concentrations (control, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, and 5%, respectively) and added directly to dairy products (cow milk, yoghurt, and kefir) and non-dairy products (soy milk), and their organoleptic properties assessed. The results showed that when the amount of broccoli oil was increased, the organoleptic properties (texture, color, and flavor) and overall acceptability tended to decrease. Cow milk, yoghurt, kefir, and soymilk supple-mented with 1% broccoli oil showed the best organoleptic properties when compared to the control group. The fermented products such as yoghurt and kefir with added broccoli oil showed good organoleptic properties. Overall, the results of this study provide evidence for the use of broccoli oil in dairy and non-dairy products. Further research will be required to assess the various physiological active functions of broccoli oil.

The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of vitamin E and zinc supplementation on energy metabolites, lipid peroxidation, and milk production in peripartum Sahiwal cows. For this, thirty-two pregnant dry Sahiwal cows were selected at sixty days prepartum and divided into four groups viz control, $T_1$, $T_2$, and $T_3$ of eight each. Group $T_1$ were supplemented with zinc at 60 ppm/d/cow, group $T_2$ were supplemented with vitamin E at 1,000 IU/d/cow and group $T_3$ were supplemented with combination of vitamin E at 1,000 IU/d/cow and zinc at 60 ppm/d/cow during d 60 prepartum to d 90 postpartum. Blood samples were collected on d -60, -45, -30, -15, -7, -3, 0, 3, 7, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 with respect to day of parturition and analysed for glucose, non esterified fatty acid, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance. Body condition score was maintained significantly better (p<0.05) in $T_3$ than in the control, $T_1$ and $T_2$ groups. Overall glucose level was higher (p<0.05) in $T_3$ than control, $T_1$, and $T_2$ groups. Levels of nonesterified fatty acid, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance were lower (p<0.05) in $T_3$ than control, $T_1$, and $T_2$ groups. Milk yield was higher (p<0.05) in $T_3$ than control, $T_1$, and $T_2$ groups. In conclusion, the present study indicated that the supplementation of vitamin E and zinc in peripartum Sahiwal cows enhanced milk production by reducing negative energy balance.

The World Health Organization recommends that infants should be exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months of life to provide optimal nutrition in this critical period of life. After this, infants should receive nutritionally adequate and safe complementary foods while breastfeeding continues for up to 2 years of age or beyond. For nonbreastfed infants, infant formula is an available option to provide the nutrition needed. Infant formula is usually prepared from industrially modified cow's milk and processed to adjust for the nutritional needs of infants. However, cow's milk is one of the most common causes of food allergy, affecting 2%-5% of all formula-fed infants during their first year of life. One strategy to prevent cow's milk allergy in nonbreastfed infants is the use of partially hydrolyzed formula (pHF) in high-risk infants, which are infants born in families with atopic disease. However, based on an epidemiological study, approximately half of the infants who develop allergy are not part of the at-risk group. This is because the non-at-risk group is significantly larger than the at-risk group and the non-at-risk infants have approximately 15% risk of developing allergies. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of partially hydrolyzed whey formula (pHF-W) in nonbreastfed infants and determine whether pHF-W can prevent atopic disease in high-risk infants and can be used as routine starter formula regardless of the allergy risk status.

Rumen microbiota play a central role in the digestive process of ruminants. Their remarkable ability to break down complex plant fibers and proteins, converting them into essential organic compounds that provide animals with energy and nutrition. Research on rumen microbiota not only contributes to improving animal production performance and enhancing feed utilization efficiency but also holds the potential to reduce methane emissions and environmental impact. Nevertheless, studies on rumen microbiota face numerous challenges, including complexity, difficulties in cultivation, and obstacles in functional analysis. This review provides an overview of microbial species involved in the degradation of macromolecules, the fermentation processes, and methane production in the rumen, all based on cultivation methods. Additionally, the review introduces the applications, advantages, and limitations of emerging omics technologies such as metagenomics, meta-transcriptomics, metaproteomics, and metabolomics, in investigating the functionality of rumen microbiota. Finally, the article offers a forward-looking perspective on the new horizons and technologies in the field of rumen microbiota functional research. These emerging technologies, with continuous refinement and mutual complementation, have deepened our understanding of rumen microbiota functionality, thereby enabling effective manipulation of the rumen microbial community.

The change of the body condition score(BCS) and milk production graph as days in milk by lactation number show that the productivity of cow is on the increase as increase the lactation number, but the health condition is much worse because of the inappropriate nutrition intake. Metabolic profiles test(MPT) results indicate that the early-lactation for directly after the parturition to the peak production of milk during the total lactation period is the time of the more likely to be exposed to lack of energy, protein, minerals. To solve this problem, the early-lactation cows should be sufficiently supplied the required nutrients and should maximum intake the supplied nutrients not to be suddenly decline body weight and BCS from postparturition to the peak production of milk. To maximize the dry matter intake of a cow, there is have got to improve the management of body weight for heifer's skeletal development and in the dry period which is carelessly deal by mostly farms. This study presents that the use of measurement of body weight, graph of body condition score, distribution of milk production, metabolic profiles test in the monitoring for dairy herd health management is very valuable.

Six-hundred bacterial strains from human milk and milk from Sahiwal cows, Holstein Friesian cows, and buffaloes were screened for their ability to suppress phytopathogenic fungi under in vitro conditions. A consortium of 3 strains, viz., Bacillus lentimorbus B-30486 (B-30486), B. subtilis B-30487 (B-30487), and B. lentimorbus B-30488 (B-30488), isolated from Sahiwal cow milk resulted in better biological control and plant-growth promotion than single-strain treatments. For commercial-scale production of a bioinoculant, the solid-state fermentation of sugarcane agro-industrial residues, i.e., molasses, press mud, and spent wash, using the consortium of B-30486, B-30487, and B-30488, resulted in a value-added product, useful for enhancing plant growth. The application of the consortium to sugarcane fields infested with Fusarium moniliforme and Colletotrichum falcatum resulted in a reduction of mortality and significantly higher (P=0.05) plant height, number of tillers, and cane girth when compared with the control. Furthermore, under field conditions, the treatment of sugarcane with the consortium resulted in significantly (P=0.05) greater plant growth compared with nonbacterized plants. Accordingly, this is the first report on the effective use of bacteria isolated from milk for biological control and enhancing plant growth under field conditions. Furthormore, a solid-state fermentation technology was developed that facilitates the economic utilization of agro-industrial residues for environmental conservation and improving plant and soil health.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of supplementing additional sucrose, in the form of black sugar (BS), into the diet of Holstein dairy cows on dry matter intake (DMI), milk yield, and milk composition. Eight Holstein dairy cows ($741{\pm}65.8kg$ body weight) were divided into two groups, including the control and BS groups. Animals in the control group were offered a total mixed ration (TMR) ad libitum, and the BS group was offered TMR with 300 g of BS/head/d. After two weeks of adaptation period, the animal performance, including DMI, milk yield and milk composition, was measured. Cows supplemented with BS appeared to consume more feed than that by the controls (i.e., 17.08 and 18.28 kg/d for the control and BS groups, respectively). However, there were no significant differences between treatments. Milk yield or milk composition, such as milk fat, milk protein, lactose, solids-non-fat, total solids and pH, did not differ between treatments. However, there was a significant difference (p<0.05) in the concentration of milk urea nitrogen (MUN). The MUN concentration of the BS group was approximately 15% lower than that of the control group (i.e., 18.75 vs. 16.05 mg/dL for the control and BS groups, respectively), which suggests improved nitrogen metabolism in the animals. The somatic cell count was numerically lower in the cows of the BS group compared to those in the control group. However, a significant difference was not noted due to the substantial amount of variation among cows. In terms of the trace mineral composition for milk, the concentration of Cu from BS animals was higher (p<0.05) than that of the control animals. In summary, supplementing the diets of dairy cows with BS marginally affected animal performance and improved nitrogen metabolism. The level of supplementation and other factors, such as animal variation were discussed.

산양유의 계절별 및 농장별 이화학적 특성을 구명하기 위하여 본 연구의 결과 및 타지역에서의 산양유 성분인 Fat, Protein, Lactose, Total Solid, SNF, Cells 성분 등을 살펴본 결과 $12{\sim}6$월 사이의 값 중에서 2월과 3월에 Fat, Protein, Lactose, Total Solid, SNF, Cells 값이 높은 경향을 보였고, 특히 Fat의 경우 $12{\sim}3$월까지의 값이 다른 월별 성분보다 더욱 높은 값을 보였다. SNF의 경우도 2월에 다른 월별 성분보다 월등히 높은 값을 나타냈다. 그러나 Lactose는 계절 또는 월별간 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 산양유 성분의 지역별 차이 또한 크지 않았으며 일반 유성분 자료를 본 연구의 결과와 참고자료를 함께 비교 검토한 결과 산양유의 일반조성은 cow milk와 전체적으로 비슷하나 Fat 성분에서 약간 낮은 값을 보였고, Mare milk 보다는 전체적으로 높은 값을 보였다. 산양유 생산은 산양의 계절번식에 의한 계절간 생산량의 편차가 커 수급조절이 어려운 문제점이 있으므로 국내 산양유 산업의 발전을 위해서는 산양유 제품의 소비를 촉진시킬 수 있는 저장성이 우수한 다양한 기능성 제품을 고안하여야 한다고 사료된다.

최근 낙농업은 지구온난화 등 환경에 미치는 영향 문제에 직면하고 있다. 특히 젖소로부터 발생하는 장내발효 메탄가스와 젖소를 사육하는데 필요한 사료작물의 재배에 의한 여러 환경영향이 이슈가 되고 있다. 유럽에서는 Product Environmental Footprint (PEF)라는 통합적 라벨링제도를 통해 공산품뿐만 아니라 낙농제품 등과 같은 각종 농업생산물에 대한 환경영향 산정 방법론을 연구하고 있는 실정이다. 이 연구에서는 전과정평가(Life cycle assessment, LCA)를 이용하여 국내 낙농우(젖소)의 전과정에 대해 전과정 단계별로 환경영향을 산정하고 주요이슈를 규명하였다. 시스템 경계는 젖소를 위한 사료작물 재배, 사료가공, 전소 관리와 가축분뇨처리(cradle-to-gate)이다. 기능단위는 1 kg의 우유(Fat Protein Corrected Milk, FPCM(유지 및 단백질 보정유)) 생산이다. 국내 낙농우(젖소) 시스템의 환경영향은 사육단계, 사료작물 재배단계가 분뇨처리단계 및 사료생산 단계보다 더 많은 환경영향범주에서 주요 전과정 단계로 규명되었다. 이에 농장 내 우유 생산과정 환경영향을 저감하기 위해서는 사육 시 장내발효 메탄가스 발생 억제기술 개발, 농장 기기 장비의 에너지효율 개선, 작물 재배 시 발생하는 침출수 관리 및 사료작물 재배 시 비료의 유실방지 기술 개발 등이 주요 환경이슈를 개선하기 위한 방안으로 판단된다.
