Bovine colostrum is the milk secreted by cows in the first few days after natural birth. It is rich in lactoferrin, immunoglobulin, antimicrobial peptides, growth factors and other active ingredients. The special nutritional composition of bovine colostrum endows it with a variety of biological...

This review provides current information on myeloma-related disorders, a group of plasma cell or immunoglobulin (Ig) secreting neoplasms including multiple myeloma, extramedullary plasmacytoma (both cutaneous and noncutaneous variants), solitary osseous plasmacytoma, Waldenstrom...

The immunoglobulin Y (IgY) derived from hyperimmune egg yolk is a promising passive immune agent to combat microbial infections in humans and livestock. Numerous studies have been performed to develop specific egg yolk IgY for pathogen control, but with limited success. To date, the efficacy of...

Bovine colostrum is the milk secreted by the cow during the first few days after delivery and is a good natural source of macronutrients, micronutrients, immunoglobulins, growth factors, etc. Both its composition of nutrients and bioactive components are unique. Colostrum has many biological...

The aim of this study was to investigate the synbiotic effects of Pediococcus acidilactici (PA) and isomaltooligosaccharide (IMO) on the performance of juvenile common carp (Cyprinus carpio). A total of 360 fish (17.22 ± 0.19g) were randomly divided into six groups with three replicates of 20 fish...

Recently, numerous studies report bats as reservoirs of emerging pathogens with little to no signs of infections. This is thought to be connected to the unique immune system of bats, which remains poorly characterized. Despite the physiological importance of the Neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) in the...

The effect of Hofmeister series anions at different concentrations on the freeze-thaw (FT) stability of emulsions stabilized with whey protein isolate (WPI) and its possible mechanism were studied. The emulsions prepared from WPI added with kosmotropic ions (Cl^- and Br^-) presented good freeze-thaw...

In this study, effects of bee pollen on some immunological parameters of rainbow trout (O. mykiss) were investigated. In the research, total 120 rainbow trout that averagely weighted 100±10 g were used. Diets containing 1%, 2% and 4% pollen were given to the fish for 21 days. At the end of the...

This study aimed to investigate the effect of microwave heating (0, 100, 300, 500, and 700 W; 2 min) on the physicochemical properties, protein composition, and structure and micromorphology of camel and bovine milk samples. Results showed that the physicochemical properties, including pH, protein...

This experiment aimed to investigate the effects of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) on growth performance, diarrhea, nutrient apparent digestibility and serum indexes of weaned piglets. Three hundred 29-day-old weaned piglets (Duroc×Landrace×large cross) with similar body weight [(6.83±0.44) kg]...
