Adhesion Capacity of Weissella cibaria to Bovine Mammary Tissue and the Effect of Bio-Sealant Topical Application on Physicochemical Properties of Milk.

The ability of a probiotic strain (Weissella cibaria) to adhere on tissue and the effect of its topical application in nipples of lactating cows on physicochemical characteristics of milk were evaluated. An ex vivo model was used to demonstrate the adhesion capacity of W. cibaria.

Development of a Teat Bio-sealant and Evaluation of its Technological and Functional Properties.

A teat bio-sealant was developed using Weissella cibaria, and the bio-sealant's technological and functional properties were assessed. The development included four experimental phases that were analyzed using independent experimental designs. Initially, sterilized or pasteurized Aloe vera gels were used, and the effect of heat treatment was investigated.
