Aim: The study aimed to investigate the Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL)-positive in bovine milk due to its public health significance.
Materials And Methods: A total of 400 milk samples of bovines taken from different dairy farms and outlets of Jabalpur were screened for the and methicillin-resistant (MRSA). The strains were tested for the PVL gene and antimicrobial sensitivity toward 10 different classes of antimicrobial agents. The PVL-positive strains were further characterized by staphylococcal protein A or typing.
Result: The prevalence of PVL-positive was 10.53%. All the isolates positive for the PVL were resistant to methicillin, while the methicillin-sensitive isolates were negative for the PVL. Five different types were found.
Conclusion: The presence of PVL-positive MRSA in bovine milk close to consumer poses a potential public health risk to the community.

Prebiotics are important for gut health and immunity in animals and could promote the growth of beneficial bacteria. The objective of this study was to investigate the prebiotic potential of lactobin and glucans when combined with goat's milk in the diet of cats. Twenty-four healthy cats (all about 2 y old) were randomly assigned to 4 treatment groups.

Article Synopsis
- Telomere length (TL) shortens during the transition period in dairy cattle, as confirmed by a study examining Holstein cows before and after calving.
- Higher oxidative stress markers and certain blood proteins are associated with this shortening, indicating possible links to stress during this time.
- The research highlights the importance of understanding how factors like oxidative stress and inflammation affect TL, though it emphasizes that causality still needs to be explored further.

Paratuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by subspecies (MAP). Typically, ruminant animals including cattle, buffalo, goats, and sheep are infected with MAP. Animals get infected with MAP in a number of ways, such as by eating or drinking contaminated food or water, or by nursing from an infected mother who may have contaminated teats or directly shed the organism in milk or colostrum.

Background: Dairy productivity can be improved by controlling metabolic diseases in dairy cows such as milk fever. The aim of this study was to estimate the cumulative incidence of milk fever during four years (2019 to 2022) at an anonymous dairy farm in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. For this study, the records of the diagnosis of milk fever in 7540 parturient cows during four years was used.
