The effects of a 4-day milk diet on basal and histamine-induced gastric acid secretion were examined in vivo in adult rats. Rats were fed on raw cow's milk only. Their acid secretion was measured in the perfused stomach under basal conditions or after administration of varying doses of histamine. In milk-fed rats, basal secretion rose slightly compared with control secretion (1.86 +/- 0.09 vs. 1.52 +/- 0.06 microEq H+/10 min; p less than 0.01), but maximal secretion in response to noncumulative doses of histamine (range: 7.0-20.0 mg/kg) was inhibited by 57%. The degree of this inhibition was similar to that observed in control rats with an equimolar dose of H2-antagonist cimetidine. These results indicate that in the adult rat, chronic administration of cow's milk strongly inhibits histamine-stimulated acid output.

Establishment and maturation of gut microbiota in White King pigeon squabs: role of pigeon milk.

Front Microbiol

January 2025

Yingshan Fucheng Meat Pigeon Breeding Professional Cooperative, Nanchong, China.

Background: Pigeons are significant economic animals in China; however, research regarding the establishment and influencing factors of gut microbiota in squabs remains limited. Understanding how the gut microbiota develops in pigeons, particularly in relation to pigeon milk, is importance in pigeon production. This study aims to elucidate the establishment characteristics of the gut microbiota in White King pigeon squabs and explore the role of pigeon milk in this process.

Background: Immunoglobulin A (IgA) plays a crucial role in the maturation the neonatal mucosal barrier. The accumulation of IgA antibody-secreting cells (ASCs) in the lactating mammary gland facilitates the secretion of IgA antibodies into milk, which are then passively to the suckling newborn, providing transient immune protection against gastrointestinal pathogens. Physiologically, full-term infants are unable to produce IgA, required for mucosal barrier maturation for at least 10 days after birth.

Interactions of human milk oligosaccharides with the immune system.

Front Immunol

January 2025

School of Biochemistry and Immunology, Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland.

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are abundant, diverse and complex sugars present in human breast milk. HMOs are well-characterized barriers to microbial infection and by modulating the human microbiome they are also thought to be nutritionally beneficial to the infant. The structural variety of over 200 HMOs, including neutral, fucosylated and sialylated forms, allows them to interact with the immune system in various ways.

Genetic and nongenetic variation of multiple births in Austrian dual-purpose cows.

JDS Commun

January 2025

Department of Agronomy, Food, Natural Resources, Animals and Environment, University of Padova, 35020 Legnaro (PD), Italy.

In recent decades, a general increase in multiple birth (MB) rate has been reported in both dairy and dual-purpose cattle breeds. As there is evidence that MB has negative effects on economically important traits in dairy cows, the aims of this study were to (i) investigate environmental and genetic factors affecting MB rate and (ii) assess the impact of MB on productive and nonproductive traits of the Austrian dual-purpose breeds Pinzgauer and Tyrol Grey. The dataset included 99,141 calvings of 33,791 Pinzgauer and 68,454 calvings of 19,244 Tyrol Grey cows recorded from 2000 to 2022.

Some microbes in the rumen form 10,12 (10,12)-conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a fatty acid that depresses synthesis of milk fat in dairy cattle and other lactating animals. Despite their importance to milk fat depression, the microbes responsible have been difficult to identify, and no laboratory strain is currently available for study. Here we describe the isolation of AP1, a bacterium that forms 10,12-CLA at fast rates.
