Summary: Goat's milk has advantages over cow's milk in terms of protein composition and digestibility, making it particularly suitable for infant nutrition. The alpha-casein and beta-casein types in goat's milk differ from those in cow's milk, which have important implications for allergies and infant nutrition.

Summary: Milk production in dairy cows has been increasing globally, but there are various physiological and nutritional constraints that can limit milk production. These constraints can vary at different stages of lactation, and can be affected by factors such as feed availability, metabolism, and environmental conditions. Understanding these constraints is important for improving animal health and welfare, and for achieving sustainable milk production.

Summary: The study revealed that ultra-high temperature treatment of dairy cow milk resulted in an increase in abundance of certain proteins while decreasing the abundance of others in the whey proteins. Some of these proteins were associated with immune functionality, indicating a partial loss of immune function due to the thermal treatment.

Summary: The present study evaluated the effects of grape pomace on milk yield, chemical-nutritional characteristics, antioxidant activity, fatty acids, and protein profile of dairy ewe's milk. The results showed that adding 10% grape pomace did not affect milk yield and composition, but significantly changed the fatty acid composition.

Summary: Evaluations of transition cow nutrition strategies on health and performance in larger commercial farms are limited. This study found that feeding controlled energy diet prepartum and high-starch fresh diet improved the health and performance of both primiparous and multiparous cows.

Summary: In this study, fermented milk beverage (FMB) containing lactic acid bacteria was found to reduce cow milk allergy. FMB administration significantly reduced allergic responses induced by milk proteins compared to skimmed milk administration. Furthermore, FMB regulated immune response and intestinal microbiota composition, providing a potential solution for alleviating allergy symptoms.

Summary: This article provides an overview of the diversity of milk casein protein variants and non-coding DNA sequence variations that affect gene expression in goats. The enormous variation in casein proteins is crucial for producing milk and dairy products with different properties for human health and nutrition. Additionally, haplotypes of the genetically linked casein gene cluster can serve as valuable tools for breed discrimination, managing genetic diversity, and breeding strategies.

Summary: A proteomic study comparing donkey milk, human milk, and cow milk identified differential expression of whey proteins. These differentially expressed proteins were found to be involved in lipoprotein metabolism, regulation of cytokine production, chemical homeostasis, and catabolic processes. Furthermore, analysis of Kyoto Encyclopedia of Gene and Genomes pathways revealed their participation in antigen processing, complement, and coagulation cascades.

Summary: During skim milk microfiltration at 10 degrees C, pre-heating and addition of calcium can reduce the permeation of casein, leading to a higher purity of whey protein in the permeate. However, it may also decrease filtration performance due to the structural alteration of the deposited casein micelle layer.

Summary: Novel strategies for whey application to reduce environmental impact in the dairy industry are being explored. Research showed that replacing whole milk with ricotta whey, cheese whey, and butter whey in chocolate ice creams at certain ratios did not significantly affect overall liking. Butter whey, however, led to decreased purchase intention at specific ratios compared to a commercial sample.

Summary: The immunopathogenesis of cow's milk protein allergy is affected by industrial processing, leading to structural changes and increased allergenicity of milk allergens. Unprocessed fresh milk contains tolerogenic factors that are impaired by industrial processing.

Summary: Consumers are increasingly choosing organic farming products because they believe that organic farms do not use pesticides or antibiotics and that animals are provided with the best living conditions. This review discusses the comparison between organic and conventional dairy cattle housing systems in terms of welfare assessment, breed selection, and product quality. It has been shown that cows kept in organic systems usually have better welfare compared to conventional breeding, but conventional farms can also provide better animal welfare through the use of pasture grazing. The taste of milk is affected by pasture feeding, but this depends on consumer preference.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the impact of different dietary protein sources and rumen nitrogen balance on lactating dairy cows. The results suggest that different dietary ingredients may lead to varying animal responses under negative rumen nitrogen balance.
