“…The prominent pathogenic group in our findings was CNS and its prevalence was between 31.8% and 62.1% with the main tolerance to the Boutsko breed (Table 6) Several studies pointed to CNS as the main etiological agent of small ruminant intramammary infection (Leitner et al, 2001;Bergonier and Berthelot, 2003;Contreras et al, 2007;Nunes et al, 2008;Guaraná et al, 2011). Moreover correlations studies between CMT, SCC and the isolation of bacteria from the mammary secretions have shown that isolation of bacteria was associated with increased SCC and CMT in sheep.…”

“…In ewes, the majority of proposed threshold values for discriminating between healthy and infected halves are lower than 500 x 10 3 cells/ml (González-Rodríguez et al, 1995;Pengov, 2001;Nunes et al, 2008). However, higher values, up to 1.500 x 10 3 cells/ml, have been suggested by some authors (Fthenakis et al, 1991;Mavrogenis et al, 1995;Lafi, 2006).…”

“…Several studies evaluated CMT as an indirect test for mastitis. In ewes, most of these studies suggested a cut-off of 1 unit for the CMT to identify infected glands (Hueston et al, 1986;Clements et al, 2003;Nunes et al, 2008;Peixoto et al, 2010). Strong correlations between the CMT and bacterial exams (73.2%) (Peixoto et al, 2010) have been reported using the CMT score of 1 as a threshold.…”

In this study, the chemical and microbiological characteristics of ovine milk from three indigenous Greek breeds, Boutsko, Frisarta and Karagouniko were examined, while reared in the semi mountainous areas. The milk yield of each sheep breed was recorded at the early, mid and late stages of lactation for two consecutive years. The average composition of the samples of ewe’s milk used in this study was similar for protein, lactose and total solids among the three; however fat values were significantly lower (p<0.05) in Frisarta milk compared to Boutsko and Karagouniko. Total viable cells of Boutsko and Karagouniko raw milk were lower (p<0.05) than those of Frisarta. Enterobacteria detected in bulk raw milk from Boutsko and Frizarta breeds were in lower numbers (p<0.05) compared to milk from Karagouniko breed. Somatic cells were also counted in lower numbers in milk collected from Boutsko and Karagouniko breeds compared to Frisarta. The percentage of detected as potentially pathogenic bacteria (coagulase negative staphylococci and enterobacteriae) was higher in the milk from Frisarta sheep milk.

“…Additionally, the beneficial effect of antioxidant supplementation on LDL oxidation has been demonstrated (Plotnick et al 1997;Devaraj et al, 2000). An inverse correlation was demonstrated between blood lipid profile and T-cell proliferative capacity in dogs, where the reduction in total blood cholesterol, LDL and non-HDL-cholesterol levels was correlated with an increase in T-cell proliferation (Nunes et al 2008). Another study revealed that the improvement in T-cell function during diabetes was probably partially a result of the reduction in total blood cholesterol and LDL (Han et al 2003).…”

Immunoenhancing property of dietary un-denatured whey protein derived from three camel breeds in mice

Data have demonstrated that whey protein (WP) enhances the immune system. The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the effects of WP from three camel breeds on oxidative stress, blood lipid profile and the cytokine levels. Seventy five male mice were randomly split into five groups. The first served as a control group. The second, the third and the fourth groups were orally administrated the WP from Majaheim, Maghateer and Soffer camel breeds, respectively, at a dose of 100 mg/kg mouse body weight. The fifth group was supplemented with bovine serum albumin (BSA). Results showed similar electrophoretic patterns of the three whey proteins. WP was found to significantly inhibit the hydroperoxide and the Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in leukocytes, liver and skin as well as the blood cholesterol level in a time dependent manner. A significant enhancement of glutathione was revealed in WP groups. Furthermore, WP was found to significantly elevate the IL-2 with a significant time dependent enhance of IL-8. On contrast, a significant lowering effect of whey proteins on the pro-inflammatory cytokines, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-10 was detected. Moreover, a mitogenic activity of WP was observed on the lymphocytes. Non-significant changes were observed in AST, ALT, creatinine and glucose level. These findings suggest that WP significantly improved the levels of the oxidative markers and the immune functions without any difference in the bioactivities of the three studied whey proteins.

“…T cells were re-suspended at a density of 1 9 10 7 cells/mL in pre-warmed RPMI 1640 without FCS and stimulated for 5 min at 37°C with medium or a mix of anti-CD3 mAb (2 lg/mL) and anti-CD28 mAb (2 lg/mL). Lysates were prepared as previously described [30]. Equal amounts of total cellular protein were subjected to SDS-PAGE and blotted onto a nitrocellulose membrane (MilliPore, Bedford, MA, USA).…”
