Article Abstract
Colostrum samples of recently registered cow breed "Himachali Pahari" were assorted from high altitude zone (901-2200 m). Prepared bovine colostrum whey powder (BCWP) was analysed for chemical composition, amino acids, minerals, surface morphology (SEM-EDS), FTIR and dielectric properties. Results showed that freeze-dried BCWP contained a considerable amount of nutritional parameters viz IgG (18.55 g/100 g), protein (71.72 g/100 g) and total amino acids (69.64 g/100 g). Additionally, the concentration of essential minerals was found to be adequate, and there was no presence of heavy metals. The BCWP exhibits good dielectric properties (resistance ∼57 M-Ω). SEM-EDS showed the broken up-wards layer structure with the uniform distribution of minerals on the surface. The FTIR spectra confirmed the presence of a higher proportion of β-sheets and β-turn structures in BCWP. Thus, on account of good functional and nutritive properties, BCWP could be foreseen as the future of functional food.

A simple, inexpensive, and rapid method for measuring calcium concentrations in colostrum to predict postpartum milk fever in cows using a commercially available water quality test device.

To diagnose milk fever (MF) in dairy cows under clinical practice, measurement of ionized calcium concentrations in blood using point-of-care (POC) devices is required. However, blood sampling poses a significant financial burden on farmers and increases the workload of veterinarians who must visit farms to perform the examinations. The present study aimed to evaluate whether the onset of MF could be predicted using colostrum samples, which can be collected by farmers themselves.

Introduction: Cow colostrum synthesis takes place during the last month of pregnancy. Its composition is influenced by individual and environmental factors, such as cow parity, feeding, season and environmental conditions. Therefore, colostrum metabolomic profiling may provide information about the physiological status of cows around calving.

The vaginal microbiota (VM) is the neonate's first microbial exposure, playing a role in early health outcomes. However, the impact of VM disruption at parturition on neonatal microbial inoculation and passive transfer success remains unclear. Betadine lavages (BL) are commonly used to control reproductive tract infections but can induce microbial dysbiosis.

Colostrum is a nutrient-rich fluid secreted by mammals shortly after birth, primarily to provide passive immunity and support early immune development in newborns. Among its various sources, bovine colostrum is the most widely used supplement due to its high bioavailability, safety profile, and clinically supported health benefits. Rich in immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, growth factors, and antimicrobial peptides, bovine colostrum exhibits diverse biological activities that extend beyond neonatal health.

Background: Mycoplasmopsis bovis causes a range of clinical conditions, including mastitis, arthritis, otitis and bronchopneumonia. Proposed transmission routes include semen, milk, colostrum, aerosol, nose-to-nose contact and fomite spread.
Methods: Seventy-nine composite colostrum samples were collected directly from cows' teats on 10 farms in the Dumfries and Galloway region of Scotland.
