This study investigated the community composition of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from yaks' milk (YM) Tibetan yellow cattle milk (TM) and their fermented products from different counties in the Nyingchi Prefecture, Tibet using Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing. Sequencing revealed 26 genera and 94 species from 71 dairy samples; amongst these Lactobacillus delbrueckii (36.17%), Streptococcus thermophilus (19.46%) and Lactococcus lactis (18.33%) were the predominant species. This study also identified the main factors influencing LAB community composition by comparing amongst samples from different locations, from different milk types, and from different altitudes. The LAB communities in YM and TM were more diverse than in fermented yaks' milk (FYM) and fermented Tibetan yellow cattle milk (FTM) samples. Similarly, whether milk was fermented or not accounted for differences in LAB species composition while altitude of the dairy products had very little effect. Milk source and production process were the most likely causes of drastic shifts in microbial community composition. In addition, fermented dairy products were enriched in genes responsible for secondary metabolic pathways that were potentially beneficial for health. Comprehensive descriptions of the microbiota in different dairy products from the Nyingchi Prefecture, Tibet might help elucidate evolutionary and functional relationships amongst bacterial communities in these products.

With the development of the Korean economy, demand for high-quality beef, specifically Hanwoo beef, is escalating, with marbling traits-measured by the widely used marbling score-being a key contributor to meat palatability. The differences between the high-quality and the lower-quality meat, according to the satisfaction of the customers, are not the result from only the degree of marbling but also from the delicacy of the marbling flecks distribution. Using the computer marbling analysis technique, an index for quantifying marbling fineness of 256 sirloin cuts at 12th- 13th thoracic vertebra named F7 index was developed in this study.

Purpose: Evidence suggests bovine dairy products may have neutral or beneficial effects on cardiometabolic health, despite being a source of saturated fat. The dairy matrix, the structure and combination of protein, fat, and other nutrients, and how they interact with each other, is purported to be responsible for these beneficial health effects. Whether this relationship extends to endothelial function, as assessed by flow mediated dilation (FMD), remains to be elucidated.

Feedstuff and raw milk were collected from 160 pastures in three climate zones of China from October to November 2020. The results indicated the level of AFB1 and AFM1 ranged from 51.

spp. are common zoonotic intestinal protozoa, which can lead to serious intestinal diseases in both humans and animals through fecal-oral transmission, leading to significant economic losses and public health challenges. To reveal the prevalence of in sheep and cattle in Shanxi Province, North China, fecal samples were collected from 311 sheep, 392 dairy cattle, and 393 beef cattle from three representative counties in the northern, central, and southern regions of Shanxi Province.

A sensitive and reliable electrochemical biosensor for the detection of benzalkonium chloride (BAC) and didecyldimethylammonium chloride (DDAC), the most commonly used disinfectant biocides in the agri-food industry, is described. Acetylcholinesterase from (DM AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase from horse serum (BChE) were immobilized by entrapment in a photocrosslinkable polymer on the surface of carbon screen-printed electrodes. Preliminary tests conducted in phosphate buffer showed limits of detection (LODs) of 0.
