This study investigated the efficacy of ultraviolet-C (UV-C) irradiation in enhancing the quality of raw bovine milk by targeting microbial populations and lipid peroxidation, both of which are key factors in milk spoilage. We categorized the raw milk samples into three groups based on initial bacterial load: low (<3 Log 10 CFU/mL), medium (3-4 Log 10 CFU/mL), and high (>4 Log 10 CFU/mL). Using a 144 W thin-film UV-C reactor, we treated the milk with a flow rate of 3 L/min. We measured the bacterial count including standard plate count, coliform count, coagulase-negative staphylococci count, and lactic acid bacteria count and lipid peroxidation (via thiobarbituric acid reactive substances assay) pre- and post-treatment. Our results show that UV-C treatment significantly reduced bacterial counts, with the most notable reductions observed in high and medium initial load samples (>4 and 3-4 Log 10 CFU/mL, respectively). The treatment was particularly effective against coliforms, showing higher reduction efficiency compared to coagulase-negative staphylococci and lactic acid bacteria. Notably, lipid peroxidation in UV-C treated milk was significantly lower than in pasteurized or untreated milk, even after 72 hours. These findings demonstrate the potential of UV-C irradiation as a pre-treatment method for raw milk, offering substantial reduction in microbial content and prevention of lipid peroxidation, thereby enhancing milk quality.

This report describes the determination of ceftiofur residues in milk from treatment of lactating dairy cattle by intramuscular injection of three consecutive daily doses of about 1 mg /kg BW, the recommended label dosing. The separation of ceftiofur was achieved on $C_1_8$ reverse phase column. The mobile phase consisted of 0.1% trifluoracetic acid in water (A) and 0.05% acetic acid in acetonitrile (B) and grediently flowed at the flow rate of 0.4 mL/min. As a result of analysis of blank raw bovine milk samples, matrix interference was not shown. Limit of detection and limit of quantitaion was 0.5 ng/mL and 1 ng/mL, respectively. The values of precision and recovery satisfied the guideline of National Veterinary Research and Quarantine Service (NVRQS, Korea). The mean residual concentration of ceftiofur in milk did not exceed 3.71 ng/mL when ceftiofur was administered intramuscularly to lactating dairy cattle for 3 consecutive days at 1 mg/kg of BW per day. It is much lower than the proposed MRL (100 ng/mL) of ceftiofur in milk.

Chryseobacterium mulctrae KACC 21234^T is a novel species isolated from raw bovine milk. Psychrotrophic bacteria are considered contaminants and are hypothesized to originate from the environment. In this investigation, the C. mulctrae KACC 21234^T genome was determined to be 4,868,651 bp long and assembled into four contigs with a G+C ratio of 33.8%. In silico genomic analyses revealed the presence of genes encoding proteases (endopeptidase Clp, oligopeptidase b, carboxypeptidase) and lipases (phospholipase A(2), phospholipase C, acylglycerol lipase) that can catalyze the degradation of the proteins and lipids in milk, causing its quality to deteriorate. Additionally, antimicrobial resistance and putative bacteriocin genes were detected, potentially intensifying the pathogenicity of the strain. The genomic evidence presented highlights the need for improved screening protocols to minimize the potential contamination of milk by proteolytic and lipolytic psychrotrophic bacteria.

This study aimed to apply the Parallux system to detect (fluoro)quinone antibiotics residues in raw bovine milk. The immunogen enabled the generation of a specific antiserum with a titer of 1/40,000. The $Parallax^{TM}$ kit using the antibody displayed $IC_{50}$ value of 10 to 150 ppb for (fluoro)quinolone antibiotics. $Parallax^{TM}$ kit was also sensitive for the detection of incurred (fluoro)quinolone at Korean Maximum Residual Levels in raw bovine milk as the result of dose response test. Cross reactivities of the antibody with the common (fluoro)quinolones were determined to be norfloxacin, 100%; enrofloxacin, 100%; ciprofloxacin, 100%; danofloxacin, 100%; nalidixic acid, 40%. Lower detection limit (LOD) values of the $Parallax^{TM}$ kit in raw bovine milk were determined to be norfloxacin, 4 ppb; enrofloxacin, 5 ppb; danofloxacin, 5 ppb; ciprofloxacin, 5 ppb and nalidixic acid, 10 ppb. The $Parallax^{TM}$ kit was run 8 times with five different concentrations of norfloxacin to determine the coefficient of variation (CV, %) of intra-assay, which was between 2.7% and 11.8%. To confirm the precision among kit batches for the inter-assay, five different batch kits were tested with 2 different concentration of norfloxacin. The CVs of the inter assay were 4.2% at 50 ppb, and 7.2% at 10 ppb norfloxacin, respectively.

Milk is well known to be rich in some nutrients such as protein, calcium, phosphorus, and vitamins. In particular, absorption and bioavailability of calcium receive lots of attention because calcium is very little absorbed until it is changed to the ionized form in the intestine. In this study, concentration of the soluble calcium was determined in the commercial bovine milk products, which were processed by different heat-treatment methods for pasteurization. As for general constituents, lactose, fat, protein, and mineral were almost same in the liquid milk products by different processors. Ultrafiltration of the skimmed milk caused little change in the permeate as for lactose content but both fat and protein decreased. pH values ranges from 6.57-6.62 at room temperature and slightly increase after centrifugation, 10,000 g, 10 min. Rennet-coagulation activity was the lowest in the ultra high temperature (UHT-)milk compared to the low temperature long time (LTLT-) and high temperature short time (HTST-)milk products. Each bovine milk products contains 1056.5-1111.3 mg/kg of Ca. The content of sulfhydryl group was the lowest in raw milk compared to the commercial products tested. For the skimmed milks after ultrafiltration with a membrane (Mw cut-off, 3 Kd), soluble Ca in the raw milk was highest at 450.2 mg/kg, followed by LTLT-milk 336.4-345.1 mg/kg, HTST-milk 305.5-313.3 mg/kg, UHT-milk 370.3-380.2 mg/kg in the decreasing order. After secondary ultrafiltration with a membrane (Mw cut-off, 1 kD), total calcium in raw milk had a highest of 444.2 mg/kg, and those in the market milk products. As follow: UHT-milk, 371.3 to 378.2 mg/kg; LTLT-milk, 333.3 to 342.2 mg/kg; HTST-milk 301.9 to 311.2 mg/kg in a decreasing order.

Bovine milk provides essential nutrients, including immunologically important molecules, as the primary source of nutrition to newborns. Recent studies showed that RNAs from bovine milk contain immune-related microRNAs (miRNA) that regulate various immune systems. To evaluate the biological and immunological activity of miRNAs from milk products, isolation methods need to be established. Six methods for extracting total RNAs from bovine colostrums were adopted to evaluate the isolating efficiency and expression of miRNAs. Total RNA from milk was presented in formulation of small RNAs, rather than ribosomal RNAs. Column-combined phenol isolating methods showed high recovery of total RNAs, especially the commercial columns for biofluid samples, which demonstrated outstanding efficiency for recovering miRNAs. We also evaluated the quantity of five immune-related miRNAs (miR-93, miR-106a, miR-155, miR-181a, miR-451) in milk processed by temperature treatments including low temperature for long time (LTLT, 63℃ for 30 min)-, high temperature for short time (HTST, 75℃ for 15 s)-, and ultra heat treatment (UHT, 120-130℃ for 0.5-4 s). All targeted miRNAs had significantly reduced levels in processed milks compared to colostrum and raw mature milk. Interestingly, the amount of immune-related miRNAs from HTST milk was more resistant than those of LTLT and UHT milks. Our present study examined defined methods of RNA isolation and quantification of immune-specific miRNAs from small volumes of milk for use in further analysis.

This study was carried out to diagnostic test for bovine mastitis by the determination of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) based on firefly bioluminescence. The results obtained are follow; 1. The infection rate of bovine mastitis investigated with 521 cows in 47 dairy farms were found to be 3.6% of clinical form and 44.1% of subclinical form according to the degree of infection. 2. The light yield produced in firefly bioluminescence system was proportional to the concentration of ATP giving stright line within the range of 100PM~1uM. 3. When the number of somatic cell in milk was determined by the ATP assay and compared with three conventional methods such Fossomatic, California mastatic test (CMT), and rolling ball viscometer (RBV), it was shown that r=0.92 for Fossomatic, 0.63 for CMT and 0.7 for RBV. 4. The microorganisms causing mastitis were isolated Staphylococcus sp. (53.3%), Streptococcus sp. (17.9%), Micrococcus sp. (13.5%), Gram negative bacilli (6.3%), Gram positive bacilli (5.5%) and Yeast-like fungi (5.4%). 5. The endogeneous ATP levels of bacteria in a raw milk determined by the firefly bioluminescence system and compared with the results of the conventional methods. The correlation was 0.88 for raw milk.

Lactoferrin is a glycoprotein with various biological effects, with antibacterial activity being one of the first effects reported. This glycoprotein suppresses bacterial growth through bacteriostatic or bactericidal action. It also stimulates the growth of certain kinds of bacteria such as lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria. In this study, Asn-Leu-Asn-Arg was selected and chemically synthesized based on the partial sequences of bovine lactoferrin tryptic fragments. Synthetic Asn-Leu-Asn-Arg suppressed the growth of Pseudomonas fluorescens, P. syringae and Escherichia coli. P. fluorescens is a major psychrotrophic bacteria found in raw and pasteurized milk, which decreases milk quality. P. syringae is a harmful infectious bacterium that damages plants. However, synthetic Asn-Leu-Asn-Arg did not inhibit the growth of Lactobacillus acidophilus. It is expected that this synthetic peptide would be the first peptide sequence from the bovine lactoferrin C-lobe that shows antibacterial activity.
