Journal of Dairy & Veterinary Sciences - Juniper Publishers   Opinion Milk proteins are of immense high nutritional significance for human beings and also possess diverse functional properties like immunological protection and antioxidant effect. In general, the major protein fractions in bovine milk include caseins, immune globulins, lacto-ferrin, proteose-peptide fractions and minor whey proteins such as transfer in and serum albumin. In recent years milk proteins have attracted growing scientific and commercial interest as a source of biologically active molecules. The native milk proteins exhibit a wide range of biological activities that influence the digestive function, metabolic responses to absorbed nutrients, growth and development of organs and disease resistance. Whey proteins, in particular, have been identified with numerous putative functions related to reduction in the risks of many chronic human diseases reflected by the ...

A Review on Non-Invasive Pregnancy Diagnosis in Wild Cats Authored by Mostafa A Mahmoud Many wild cats around the world are facing the danger of extinction due mainly to habitat destruction, poaching, illegal trade, inbreeding, diseases and conflict with humans. As a result, conservationists moved towards the application of ex-situ conservation programs through captive breeding to save endangered species for future introduction to their natural homes. However, breeding success of these cats in captivity relies largely to the availability of non-invasive techniques using urine and fecal samples to detect pregnancy hormones in the early stages of reproductive management. Wild cats are usually prone to stress when physically restrained for blood collection to carry out pregnancy tests. This stress jeopardizes the success of captive breeding of endangered cat species. Monitoring reproductive hormones in urine and feces provided an alternative and successful tool for reproductive man...
