Inducing the spontaneous aggregation from casein molecules (i.e. αs1, αs2, β, and κ-casein) into re-assembled casein micelles (RCMs) through the addition of salts as an alternative to native casein micelles, has garnered increasing attention in recent years. In this investigation, re-assembled casein micelles were generated by adding varying amount...
Inducing the spontaneous aggregation from casein molecules (i.e. alpha(s1), alpha(s2), beta, and kappa-casein) into re-assembled casein micelles (RCMs) through the addition of salts as an alternative to native casein micelles, has garnered increasing attention in recent years. In this investigation, re-assembled casein micelles were generated by ad...

The present study compared multiplex PCR (mPCR) and Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) using the SCCmecFinder database to identify the Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome (SCC) mec in five Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and nine non-aureus staphylococci (NAS) isolated from dairy cattle. mPCR identified an SCCmecIV in four SA and one NAS, but could not differ...
In the present work, modified okara-derived insoluble soybean fiber (ISF) was incorporated into set-type yogurt to investigate its effect on structure, rheological properties and moisture stability. Low concentrations (0.25% and 0.50%, w/v) of ISF induced a more homogeneous network structure with embedded pores or cavities compared to plain set-typ...
The discovery and tracking of antimicrobial resistance genes are essential for understanding the evolution of bacterial resistance and restraining its dispersion. Mammaliicoccus sciuri (formerly Staphylococcus sciuri) is the most probable evolutionary repository of the mecA gene, that later disseminated to S. aureus. In this study, we describe the ...
We examined whether distinct staphylococcal and mammaliicoccal species and strains trigger B-and T-lymphocyte proliferation and interleukin (IL)-17A and interferon (IFN)-gamma production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells in nulliparous, primiparous, and multiparous dairy cows. Flow cytometry was used to measure lymphocyte proliferation with the...

The transition period is a challenging period for high-producing dairy cattle. Cows in early lactation are considered as a group at risk of subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA). Variability in SARA susceptibility in early lactation is hypothesized to be reflected in fecal characteristics such as fecal pH, dry matter content, volatile and odd- and branc...
