Therefore, an epidemiological study was conducted in Khulna district to investigate the prevalence and risk factor of sub-clinical mastitis in lactating dairy cows with antibiogram of the causative bacteria. Methods: Five dairy farms were selected and a total of 400 quarter milk samples of 100 dairy cows were subjected to California Mastitis Test to detect sub-clinical mastitis. Antibiogram study was performed to determine sensitivity and resistant pattern of the isolated bacteria. Results: An overall cow level prevalence of sub-clinical mastitis were recorded as 28%. Risk factors like type of breed, body condition score, milk yield, grass feeding, udder washing before milking, drying of the udder after washing, production system, dry cow therapy, stimuli before milking and milking techniques were statistically significant for the occurrence of sub-clinical mastitis.

The chickens in the control group were fed with the standard commercial diet which contained crude protein (22.04%, 18.55%, 17.89%) and metabolic energy including selenium (11.99 MJ/kg, 12.64 MJ/kg, 12.79 MJ/kg) for starter, grower and finisher phases respectively. The basal diet was supplemented with: HiPhos - 6 phytase, WX - endo-1,4- betaxylanase, VP-endo-1,3(4)- beta-glucanase and ProAct - serine protease. The experimental group also used organic selenium. Results: Production performance and carcass parameters were not statistically different among treatment groups. Only mortality was decreased in one of the experimental groups (p less than 0.004).

The recovered Listeria isolates were characterized using conventional set of biochemical analysis along with sugar fermentation tests and further confirmed by MALDI-TOF MS. The virulent nature of pathogenic Listeria isolates was also assessed by in vitro tests like hemolysis on blood agar, CAMP and PI-PLC assay. Result: In current study, on screening 360 animal origin food samples, three isolates were recovered from raw milk samples and identified as Listeria monocytogenes indicating an overall prevalence of Listeria monocytogenes to the tune of 0.83%. Excellent correlation was observed with identification of Listeria species using conventional phenotypic tests and advanced molecular tool Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) technique.

Inulin, PHGG and psyllium are a natural source of dietary fiber derived from chicory root, gaur gum and isabgol and so it has always been part of the human diet. As per WHO the requirement of dietary fiber in human diet is 23-27 gm/day. In order to solve this problem, dietary fiber can be used, which can improve sensory properties of products in addition to being functional. Milk and milk products considered as a vehicle for dietary fiber would not only take care of their own role in human health but could also enhance the heath fullness of the diet as a whole. Methods: The process of development of fiber-enriched shrikhand was successfully optimized by using response surface methodology (RSM). The selected variables were different levels of fiber powder viz., inulin (2-6%), psyllium (0.5-1.5%) and PHGG (2.5-7.5) and constant sugar concentration (40%). The levels of these factors were three and the experimental design was set up with experimental points having 6 replicates at the center. The center points of the experimental design were defined as 4% inulin 1% of psyllium and 5% partially hydrolyzed guar gum. Flavor, color and appearance, body and texture and overall acceptability were chosen as the responses. Each response is significantly affected by independent variables (p less than 0.05). Result: The process was optimized by comparing inulin to 3.93%, psyllium 0.66% and 4.62% PHGG was suggested by the design expert software based on sensory evaluation.

Bihar is one of the major maize growing states in India. An analysis of production and its value chain will help the state in providing the further direction for policy making. Methods: The current study explores the status of maize production in Bihar in terms of growth rate and instability index based on the available secondary data for maize production in Bihar from 2000-2021. It also develops a framework of its value chain in the state based on the available secondary related to its inputs and production. Result: The study identifies that the production and yield of maize crop in Bihar have a positive growth trend with a instability ranging between low to medium in case of rabi and summer maize which shows that it is a promising crop in Bihar for improving the income of the farmers. The analysis of the maize value chain reveals that the cost of cultivation of maize in Bihar is ₹56047.96 per hectare whereas the cost of production is ₹1412.98, the major actors in the value chain includes small and marginal farmers, private agro dealers, Krishi Vikash Kendra (KVKs), ATMA, state and central agricultural universities and BRLPS along with Farmer Producing organisation.\u0000","PeriodicalId":89171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of dairying, foods & home sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46945597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rapid change in environmental green house gases post industrialization is one such indicator responsible for global warming. Atmospheric concentrations of core GHGs carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide have increased by 43%, 154% and 21%, respectively between 1750 to 2013. Similarly global average air temperature has increased from 0.74 in 1906 to 1.2°C in 2020 and sea level by 8 inches in last century, besides increased frequency in natural hazards like floods, draughts, cloud bursts, storms, typhoons and heat waves. The changing climate has negative impacts on human life as well as on livestock. However, livestock is believed to be the main contributor of methane, an important green house gas with 21 times more global warming potential in comparison to carbon dioxide. Since human population has tremendously increased and is further expected to increase by 33% till 2050 and at the same time due to urbanization, improved incomes and increased purchasing capacity, the demand for food of animal origin is increasing. In order to have food and nutritional security the production of livestock products is a necessity. Therefore, on one hand increase in livestock production and on the other hand minimizing the GHG emissions, the livestock sector warrants climate smart livestock production which will encompass climate resilient, environmentally sustainable, economically viable production of nutritious, safe, affordable livestock food and products.","PeriodicalId":89171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of dairying, foods & home sciences","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135690891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
