Comparative studies of healthy and infected milk samples of bovine animals for determining its immunological activity
Journal Title: Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Interest in bovine milk samples and their effect on human health is an ongoing concern. Several questions were raised related to milk that was unsafe and is responsible for spreading the disease like tuberculosis and other diseases. After the introduction of pasteurization, milk is considered to be one of the healthy drinks that will save millions of people from malnourishment. Recently, lot of questions was raised related to milk samples of bovine animals especially healthy and infected ones. In this paper, we analyzed some amino acids, lactose, casein, cells population in terms of lymphocytes, monocytes and granulocytes count and also measured lactoferrin content in healthy and infected milk samples of bovine animals especially cow. The results of these studies showed that infected bovine (cow) milk samples showed drastic decline in lactose and casein content as compared to healthy ones. In addition, amino acids especially glutamic acid and tyrosine showed some enhancement but there is decline in histidine including enhancement of granulocytes count and decline in lymphocytes count in case of infected ones as compared to healthy ones. Similarly, lactoferrin also got similar results there is some enhancement in infected as compared to healthy bovine animals. Overall, there is clear cut demarcation between infected and healthy bovine milk samples.
