The aim of this study was to investigate adulteration of caprine milk products by bovine milk using biomolecular techniques with bovine-specific primers for the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and real-time PCR assays were applied to caprine milk products including infant formula, city milk, and fermented milk. The results indicated that six out of the eight caprine infant formula products tested contained bovine milk components. In addition, two of the three tested caprine city milk products and two caprine fermented milk products were shown to be adulterated with bovine milk. Conventional PCR results corroborated with results obtained by real-time PCR. This study demonstrates that DNA-based species identification procedures would be useful and applicable in routine examinations of the dairy industry to ensure the quality and safety of dairy foods.

산양유는 단백질 구성과 개별 지방산의 구성이 모유에 가깝기 때문에 우유에 비하여 소화율이 높다. 특히 casein 단백질은 모유의 단백질과 분자구조가 흡사하여 높은 소화 흡수력을 보이므로 설사 또는 복통 등과 같은 소화장애를 일으키지 않는다. 뿐만 아니라 지방산 함량에 있어서도 우유보다 중간사슬지방산이 우유보다 2배정도 많이 들어있어 소화 흡수 시 분해되는 속도가 빠르다. 산양유에는 질 좋은 수용성 유청단백질, 비타민 및 미네랄이 다량 함유되어 있고, 특히 비타민 A, 콜린, 이노시톨의 함량이 높고 흡수율도 양호한 편이다. 산양유에 포함된 유당과 올리고당은 우유보다 모유에 더 가까운 효과를 기대할 수 있다. 유당은 장 내 산성을 증가시켜 유익한 박테리아의 증식을 돕는 한편 장내에서의 칼슘의 흡수를 도와주거나 인(P)과 마그네슘(Mg)의 흡수를 촉진시키는 역할을 담당한다. 또한 올리고당류는 장내유산균의 생육을 돕는 prebiotic 효과를 발휘하여 장내 유익균이 정착하는데 도움을 준다는 실험결과로 판단할 때 실제로 유아에게 정장작용을 기대할 수 있다. 그리고 산양유에 다량 함유된 미네랄 성분 또한 소화 및 흡수를 촉진시키는 역할을 하기 때문에 산양유는 우유 섭취 시 유당불 내증을 호소하던 소비자들도 어렵지 않게 섭취할 수 있다. 이처럼 산양유가 여러 가지 측면에서 우유보다 우수한 식품학적 생리적 특성을 가지고 있음에도 불구하고 국내 산양유가공 산업은 거의 불모지라 해도 과언이 아니다. 게다가 산양유의 정확한 영양학적 가치가 일반 소비자들에게 전달되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 우유보다 그 성분과 조성이 모유와 흡사한 산양유의 식품학적 특성, 안전성 및 기능성에 대한 체계적이며 과학적 연구가 시급히 활성화되어야 할 것이다.

Mammalian milk including microRNAs (miRNAs) as a novel class of noncoding RNAs, that can be transferred to infants and it plays on a critical role in biological functions such as immune regulation and development. However, the origin and functional importance of milk-derived miRNAs are still undetermined. This study applied RNA sequencing to explore the featured profiles of miRNA expression in colostrum and mature milk-originated exosomes from human, bovine, and caprine milk. These dietary exosome-derived miRNAs are highly conserved in human, bovine and caprine milk. Interestingly, abundant miRNAs expressed in human milk are similarly conserved across species. In addition, we confirmed that immune-related miRNAs (miR-30a-5p, miR-22-3p, and miR-26a) are commonly observed in the colostrum and mature milk of cows and caprines as well as humans. Our results provide new insights and resources for investigating the functionality of immune-associated miRNAs and evaluating physiological and biological condition in human, bovine and caprine milk as biomarkers.

The bioactive functions of oligosaccharides from human milk have been reported by many studies. Many of oligosaccharides isolated from colostrum and/or milk of dairy animals have been reported to have similar chemical structures with those in human colostrum and/or milk. It has been proved by several studies that the oligosaccharides with similar chemical structure shared common bioactivities. Among domesticated dairy animals, bovine/cattle, caprine/goat, and ovine/sheep are the most commonly used species to isolate oligosaccharides from their colostrum and/or milk. Several studies on the oligosaccharides from goat colostrum and milk have revealed similar properties to that of human milk and possess the highest content of sialyl oligosaccharides (SOS) as compared to other ruminants. Indonesia ranks first in Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) for goat milk production. Therefore, goat milk is the second most consumed milk in the country. The most reared dairy goat breed in Indonesia is Etawah Grade. However, oligosaccharides from Indonesia dairy animals including goat, have not been characterized. This is the first study to characterize oligosaccharides from Indonesia dairy animals. The present study was aimed to isolate and characterize oligosaccharides, specifically SOS from the colostrum of Etawah Grade goats by using proton/¹H-nuclear magnetic resonance. The SOS successfully characterized in this study were: Neu5Ac(α2-3)Gal(β1-4)Glc (3'-N-acetylneuraminyllactose), Neu5Ac(α2-6)Gal(β1-4)Glc (6'-N-acetylneuraminyllactose), Neu5Gc(α2-3)Gal(β1-4)Glc (3'-N-glycolylneuraminyllactose), Neu5Gc(α2-6)Gal(β1-4)Glc (6'-N-glycolylneuraminyllactose), Neu5Ac(α2-6)Gal(β1-4) GlcNAc (6'-N-acetylneuraminyllactosamine) and Neu5Gc(α2-6)Gal(β1-4)GlcNAc (6'-N-glycolylneuraminyllactosamine). This finding shows that Etawah Grade, as a local dairy goat breed in Indonesia, is having significant potential to be natural source of oligosaccharides that can be utilized in the future food and pharmaceutical industries.

Studies at freezing point depression (FPD) for goat milk are described in this paper. The 432 samples of raw goat milk collected in a period of two years and analysed by the use of an electronic cryoscope gave a mean value of FPD: $-0.565{\pm}0.01^{\circ}C$. Statistical significant differences were found between the morning and evening milk. The evening milk showed better quality considering the lactose and others dissolved solutes. Among the Brown, Saanen and Anglo-nubian goats, the greatest increase in FPD, occurred in the Anglo-nubian breed. The statistical analysis revealed a significant breed difference (p<0.05), when climate variation was observed. The superior and inferior values found to the FPD of the caprine milk (-0.545 to $-0.585^{\circ}C$), is important in establishing regional rules, to improve the quality control criteria and legal interpretation of standards found in the pertinent legislation. The results are also important to improve herd management so that one can increase the animal production which will affect the technological composition, and the nutritional characteristics of the resultant products.

Objective: This study was conducted to assess the level of pregnancy-associated glycoprotein (PAG) in whole and skim milk samples, and its suitability for early pregnancy diagnosis in goats. Methods: A two-step sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) system for estimation of milk PAG was developed and validated, which employed caprine-PAG specific polyclonal antisera. Whole and skim milk samples (n = 210 each) from fifteen multiparous goats were collected on alternate days from d 10 to d 30, and thereafter weekly till d 51 post-mating. PAG levels in milk samples were estimated by ELISA and the pregnancies were confirmed at d40 post-mating by transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS). Results: The level of PAG in whole and skim milk samples of both pregnant and nonpregnant goats remained below the threshold values until d 24 after mating. Thereafter, PAG concentration in whole and skim milk increased steadily in pregnant goats, whereas it continued below the threshold in non-pregnant does. The PAG profiles in whole and skim milk of pregnant goats were almost similar and exhibited strong positive relationship (r = 0.891; p<0.001). Day 26 post-mating was identified as the first time-point for significantly (p<0.05) higher milk PAG concentration in pregnant goats than to non-pregnant goats. When compared to TRUS examination for pregnancy diagnosis, the accuracy and specificity of PAG ELISA using whole and skim milk samples were 94.5% and 95.4%; and 95.3% and 100%, respectively. The high values of area-under-curve (0.904 [whole milk] and 0.922 [skim milk]), demonstrate outstanding discrimination ability of the milk assays. Among the sampling dates chosen, d 37 post-mating was identified as the best suitable time point for collection of milk samples to detect pregnancy in goats. Conclusion: The PAG concentration in whole and skim milk of goats collected between days 26 and 51 post-breeding can be used for the accurate prediction of pregnancy and may be useful for assisting management decisions in goat flocks.

산양유제품은 산양의 산간 방목지에서 천연의 산야초를 먹는 먹이습성으로 인하여 웰빙식품의 개념으로 뿐만 아니라 산양유 조제식의 형태로 다시 소비되기 시작하고 있다. 우유와 산양유의 조성에는 주요 영양성분의 경우 특별한 차이를 보이지 않는다. 그러나 젖소와 산양의 젖은 케이신 마이셀의 공간구조, 케이신 단백질의 아미노산 조성, 마이셀의 크기, 마이셀의 미네랄 함량 등에 있어서 명백한 차이를 보인다. 산양유제품의 국내생산은 연중 착유가 어려워 소비자에게 연중 공급이 불가능한 문제가 중요한 점으로 대두되고 있다. 그 어려움 속에서 산양유 시장의 확대를 추구하기 위해서는 산양유 제조사들의 집중적인 홍보가 필요하다. 국내 소비시장의 특징은 산양유 소비형태가 주로 신선유로서 소비되며, 발효유로서는 일부만 소비된다는 점이다. 이러한 제품들은 주로 소규모 산양유가공회사에서 생산되며, 대규모 유가공회사에서는 소요량이 많은 산양조제분유 생산에 치중하고 있는 점 또한 특징이라고 할 수 있다. 앞으로 산양유제품의 확대를 위해서는 유가공기술분야의 전문인들에 의해서 한국소비자들에게 적합하지 않은 산양 특유의 불쾌한 냄새와 맛을 제거하는 연구와 기술이 개발되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Anaplasmosis is a tick-borne disease of large and small ruminants, causing losses through mortality, abortion, weight loss and reduced milk production. In one dairy farm, for example, 250 of a total of 800 imported goats were diagnosed with a mysterious type of anemia during the summer and autumn of 1992. The etiologic agent was identified as Anaplasma spp by acridine orange and ultrastructure by electron microscopy. In order to monitor variations in blood biochemical and hematological parameters associated with the disease, blood samples were collected by jugular venipuncture from 50 goats at 3 month intervals between the period of February and October, 1993. The levels of RBCs, HB and HCT decreased from $18.48{\pm}1.96$ to $13.47{\pm}2.48X10^6/mm^3$, $12.25{\pm}1.41$ to $9.54{\pm}1.77g/dl$, and $43.09{\pm}4.75$ to $30.93{\pm}5.78%$, respectively. The values of MCH(Mean corpuscular hemoglobin), MCHC(Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration) and PLT(Platelet) were elevated from $6.58{\pm}0.30$ to $7.05{\pm}0.47pg$, $28.40{\pm}1.20$ to $30.82{\pm}1.85g/dl$ and $1688.34{\pm}750$ to $2046.82{\pm}783X10^3/mm^3$, respectively. Percent parasitized erythrocytes(PPE) increased from $0.61{\pm}0.5$ to $2.22{\pm}1.9%$, clinical biochemical parameters aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase were $66.64{\pm}23.1K.U$ and $14.90{\pm}6.59K.U$, respectively and persisted at high levels throughout the observation period. The level of albumin(2.46)0.52 g/dl) was decreased corresponding to an elevated globulin and a reduced albumin/globulin ratio in October as compared with the values in February. It is concluded that caprine anaplasmosis may be an important cause of anemia and hepatic malfunction in goats.
