The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of somatic cell score (SCS) on milk yield; fat, protein, and lactose percentage; and fat-to-protein ratio (FPR). The study dataset contained 41,593 records collected for 2709 Polish Holstein-Friesian cows from three herds. A total of eight classes were created based on SCS. For each study trait, a linear mixed model was used, taking into account fixed effects: parity, stage of lactation, season of calving, SCS class, and their interactions, and random effects of cow, herd test day, and residual. A higher SCS was found to be associated with a reduced milk yield and lactose percentage, while the lowest protein and fat percentage and FPR were observed in the lowest SCS class, and they tended to increase with increasing SCS. The effect of SCS on milk yield, protein, and lactose percentage was more pronounced in younger cows (up to third parity) than in older cows (fifth and sixth parities). A greater effect of SCS on milk yield was observed in the later stages of lactation (from about the fifth month).

This study utilized the synergistic effectiveness of chia seed mucilage and iron (III)-natural phenolic nanoparticles as biosorbents for the first time in the dispersive solid-phase extraction (DSPE) of oxytetracycline, tetracycline, chlortetracycline, and doxycycline followed by HPLC-UV quantification. An in-situ iron (III)-natural phenolic solid adsorbent was created using natural phenolics found in the copper pod tree bark. An ultrasonic-assisted extraction was performed to enhance the extraction efficiency of DSPE-based biosorbents.

This study developed a vegan chocolate spread using spray-dried plant-based milk powders (soy, lentil, and rice), fortified with nano-liposomal vitamin D3 and an oleogel-balanced omega fatty acid to enhance nutritional quality. The plant-based milk powders exhibited high protein (up to 26.8% in soy), fiber, and micronutrients.

Sheep milk has gained increasing attention for its compositional similarity to human milk and its abundance of bioactive compounds with nutritional and therapeutic potential. It is rich in proteins, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, immunoglobulins, and hormones, as well as peptides and oligosaccharides with antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and immune-modulatory effects. Despite these benefits, the literature remains fragmented, with limited integration of data on the mechanisms by which these components influence health outcomes, and few comprehensive comparisons with other mammalian milks.

Ethnic fermented foods represent a significant repository for discovering novel probiotic entities. These fermented foods, entrenched in indigenous practices, have conserved a distinct microbiota through generations. Exploration of these fermented foods could yield microbial consortia capable of transforming human health.

Further analysis was conducted to determine if the impact of calving season was a more appropriate indicator. This study analyzed data from 2009 to 2022 and included 524 primiparous Holstein cows from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Dairy Research Unit (Urbana, IL).
