In addition to its use for calf nutrition and immune system support, colostrum is used to produce functional foods for human consumption. Various methods are available to prevent colostrum waste and to process it into various products. Traditional drying methods, such as spray and freeze drying, are widely used to extend shelf life. However, the resulting powders often exhibit poor instant drying properties, such as low dispersibility, solubility and wettability. Fluidized bed drying has emerged as a promising post-drying technology to address these limitations. This technique enables particle agglomeration and surface modification, increasing powder flowability, reducing cohesiveness and improving reconstitution behaviour in aqueous media. Furthermore, binders such as maltodextrin, lactose or sucrose during fluidized bed agglomeration can further stabilize the immunoglobulin content and reduce moisture uptake during storage. Optimizing process parameters such as inlet air temperature, binder concentration and fluidization air flow can yield colostrum powders with superior technological and functional properties. In this review, drying methods of colostrum powder are discussed comparatively and the potential of using the agglomeration process with a fluidized bed dryer to improve powder properties after drying is discussed. Consequently, fluidized bed drying represents a valuable strategy for developing instant colostrum powders, facilitating their application in various functional food matrices and increasing consumer acceptance.</p>","PeriodicalId":15615,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dairy Research","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148990112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Purified β-casein was obtained by anion-exchange chromatography and hydrolysed <i>in vitro</i> with pepsin, trypsin or chymotrypsin for 4 h. The degree of hydrolysis was quantified by the trinitrobenzenesulphonic acid assay, and structural changes and peptide patterns were characterised by urea-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), sodium dodecyl sulphate-PAGE (SDS-PAGE) and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Antioxidant activity was assessed by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. Protease specificity significantly influenced hydrolysis kinetics and peptide composition (<i>P</i> < 0.05). Pepsin yielded the highest degree of hydrolysis and the most diverse peptide profile, which correlated with superior antioxidant activity. All hydrolysates exhibited significantly enhanced radical scavenging and reducing power compared to intact β-casein (<i>P</i> < 0.05). Pepsin-derived peptides showed the lowest half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) values in DPPH (0.51 mg/ml) and ABTS (0.64 mg/ml) assays and the highest FRAP values, outperforming chymotrypsin and trypsin hydrolysates. ABTS•⁺ scavenging was consistently higher than DPPH• scavenging across all samples. These findings demonstrate that enzyme selection critically governs antioxidant peptide formation from camel β-casein via differential cleavage patterns.

This systematic literature review aims to map how the public perceives AW in dairy cow farming. Peer-reviewed publications addressing public perception of dairy cow welfare were retrieved from the Scopus database (searched in May 2025), yielding 107 studies that were examined through bibliometric and network analyses. They were then categorized, according to the perspective they addressed, into three stakeholder spheres: experts (those directly involved in the production chain), citizens and consumers. A dedicated content analysis of 73 documents further examined the citizen and consumer groups across three temporal phases: (i) the 'Lag phase' (up to 2012), marking the topic's emergence in scientific literature; (ii) the 'Naturalness phase' (2013-2019), characterized by consistent emphasis on dairy cows' and calves' right to express natural behaviours; and (iii) the 'Detailed phase' (from 2020), refining and broadening earlier themes. AW perceptions are intrinsically linked to the enabling of natural behaviours (e.g. pasture access, prolonged cow-calf contact), whereas routine practices (e.g. early separation, hormone use, male calf culling) are generally viewed as exploitative. From the consumer's side, a willingness to pay a premium for welfare-assured products emerges, yet an attitude-behaviour gap exists, as citizens' ethical stances may not fully translate into purchasing decisions due to price sensitivity. Notably, AW frequently supersedes environmental sustainability in consumer priorities, while evidence-based communication improves the acceptance of innovations (e.g. genetic modifications for welfare). Being based on a single database and excluding grey literature, the review nonetheless emphasizes the importance of stakeholder collaboration, transparent labelling and policy frameworks that align ethical expectations with farming realities and advocates targeted education to bridge knowledge gaps and support sustainable dairy systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":15615,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dairy Research","volume":" ","pages":"1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148920054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meteorological data and behavioural sensor data, including lying duration, number of steps and number of postural changes, were retrieved from eight dairy farms. Eighteen behavioural variables were extracted using time windows informed by exploratory analysis across three THI categories. Several 24-h pattern variables reflecting behavioural changes for specific periods in a day had a consistent direction of correlation with the daily mean THI across farms on days with and/or without pasture access. For the daily mean variables, only the daily mean lying duration had a consistent direction of correlation with daily mean THI across farms on days without pasture access, and no daily mean variables had a consistent direction of correlation with daily mean THI across farms on days with pasture access. Generalized additive mixed models indicated that relationships between behavioural variables and daily mean THI were nonlinear. For most behavioural variables, the daily mean THI ranges in which the behavioural variables changed differed between days with and without pasture access. Some of the 24-h pattern behavioural variables exhibited a wider daily mean THI range with significant behavioural change than the daily mean variables.
