The document discusses developing a breast milk substitute called MIMIC-BM made from buffalo milk. It aims to resemble human breast milk by making buffalo milk more compatible and functional. The need arises when mothers cannot breastfeed for medical reasons, poor lactation, or lack of availability. The document provides nutritional analyses of human milk, animal milks like cow and buffalo milk, and reviews the establishment of infant gut microbiota from breastfeeding versus formula feeding. It also discusses digestion in neonates and their nutritional requirements.
This document discusses the benefits of breastfeeding for both infants and mothers. It provides details on the nutritional composition and bioactive components of human milk, which contain antibodies, growth factors, and other properties that protect infants from disease and promote healthy development. Breastfeeding is associated with lower risks of gastrointestinal infections, respiratory illnesses, and conditions like leukemia in infants. For mothers, breastfeeding aids postpartum weight loss and reduces the risks of diabetes, breast cancer, and ovarian cancer. The document emphasizes exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months as the best source of nutrition for infants.
This document discusses the health factors present in colostrum. Colostrum is the first breast milk produced after giving birth, and it lasts for 2-4 days. It is very important as it lays the foundation for the newborn's immune system and provides passive immunity, nutrients for growth, and protective factors. Colostrum is rich in antibodies, growth factors, vitamins, minerals, and other immune factors that protect against infection and support tissue development in newborns. Bovine colostrum also contains these beneficial components and can be used as it is more readily available in larger quantities than human colostrum.
The document discusses the benefits of bovine colostrum, which contains immune factors, growth factors, and other nutrients. It provides evidence from studies that colostrum can boost the immune system, fight bacteria, viruses, and fungi, reduce inflammation, aid in weight loss, and may help with conditions like arthritis, depression, ulcers, and diabetes. The document also discusses how factors in colostrum can protect against stomach ulcers, intestinal infections, herpes virus, and more.
Milk provides excellent support towards human nutrition, as it contains balanced quantities of required nutrients such as protein, fat, carbohydrate, minerals, & vitamins. Milk is an economical source of energy & furnishes almost all essential dietary constituents required for normal physiological functions.
Milk has a mildly sweet & pleasant flavour which is of wide appeal & is relished by most people and hence is innately palatable. Digestibility of milk is high, which makes it an ideal food for children, adults, invalids and convalescing patients. All these properties make milk an important food for pregnant & lactating women, growing children, adolescents, adults, invalids, convalescents & patients alike.
The importance of colostrum and early piglet nutritionLeon Hall
This document discusses the importance of colostrum and early nutrition for piglets. It notes that piglets are born with low energy stores and no immunity, so colostrum provides antibodies, protein, and energy. Colostrum intake in the first 24 hours strongly influences piglet growth and survival. However, colostrum production and intake can vary greatly between sows and within litters.

Camel milk has been known in Asia and Africa for 5000 years for its benefits for human health. Camel milk has been used medicinally for centuries by people. It is the closest to human mother’s milk and safe for children. Research studies around the world have confirmed that camel milk has better nutritional value as it exhibits many unique and amazing health-promoting properties as compared to cow milk. Camel milk has been used in some parts of the world to treat certain chronic diseases such as diabetes, allergies, cancer, arthritis, tuberculosis, autism, and hepatitis. Medicinal properties suggest that camel milk contains protective proteins that may have a possible role for enhancing immune defense mechanisms.
Colostrum provides calves with antibodies that protect them from disease. A farm can increase the antibody levels in colostrum by vaccinating cows, which causes antibodies to accumulate in the cow's blood and transfer to colostrum. It is important to time vaccinations so peak antibody levels are present at calving. Calves must consume high-quality colostrum within the first 24 hours after birth, as this is when their intestines can best absorb the antibodies to provide immunity. Proper colostrum management, including collection and storage, is vital to protect calves.
Mastitis is an inflammation of the mammary gland that can be clinical or subclinical. It is caused most commonly by bacterial infections entering through the teat canal. The main forms of mastitis are contagious (spreads from cow to cow) and environmental (from bedding, manure, etc.). Mastitis results in significant economic losses due to decreased milk production, treatment costs, and increased cow culling. While clinical mastitis shows visible signs like abnormal milk and udder inflammation, subclinical mastitis is more prevalent but only detectable through milk testing.
This document discusses nutritional strategies for sustainable dairy development. It explains that balanced nutrition is important for maintenance, reproduction, production and health of dairy cows.

Treatment B received a supplement with inorganic minerals but no other technologies. Treatment A showed a 7% increase in total tract digestibility compared to Treatment B. The results indicate that the nutritional technologies in the Treatment A supplement improved digestibility of the poor quality forage diet.
Benefits of colostrum powder – Bovine ColostrumSureshDesiGhee
The young ones do not have a well developed immune system. Thus, it becomes essential to provide immunity for the newborn in order to adjust itself to the outer environmental temperature as well as infections. The colostrum is loaded with immunity that helps the newborn to fight against infections and bacterial or viral agents.
This document summarizes key aspects of managing the transition period for high-yielding dairy cows. The transition period is 4 weeks before and after calving and is a time of increased health risks. Feeding a balanced transition diet is important to reduce risks of diseases like milk fever and ketosis. The transition diet should gradually increase energy and protein while decreasing fiber to support intake and metabolism without disrupting the rumen. Minerals like calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium and the dietary cation-anion difference must be carefully managed to prevent milk fever. Commercial transition supplements can help achieve these nutrient balances and support a smooth transition to lactation.
Jaylor’s Ruminant Nutritionist, Janet Kleinschmidt, explains why adding fat to the diet of dairy cows become a common practice for most high production herds.
The document discusses the components and benefits of colostrum.

The document discusses using algae for wastewater treatment. It notes that algae can efficiently treat wastewater by removing nutrients, heavy metals, and pathogens. This allows the treated water to be safely used for irrigation, reducing freshwater usage and pollution of waterways. Algae treatment in oxidation ponds also produces algal biomass that can be converted to biofuels or other products. The document provides examples of how different algae species effectively remove various wastewater contaminants like nitrogen, phosphorus, and COD. Algae wastewater treatment is seen as a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional wastewater treatment methods.
This document discusses proteases and their role in digestion in poultry. It begins by explaining that animals must obtain some amino acids from their diet as they lack the necessary enzymes to synthesize them. It then describes how ingested proteins are broken down through digestion involving acid and protease enzymes. The document provides classifications and examples of different types of proteases. It discusses how proteases break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates at different pH levels along the gastrointestinal tract. The document also notes some anti-nutritional factors found in various feed ingredients and how proteases can help degrade them to improve digestibility.
This document discusses enzymes and their role in digestion. It provides information on different types of enzymes including cellulase, protease, lipase, and others. It describes what substrates each enzyme acts on and the end products produced. It also discusses various feed ingredients and their anti-nutritional factors, as well as the regions of the GI tract and enzymes involved in digestion.
This document discusses the use of poultry litter as a feed ingredient for livestock. It provides a history of regulations around using poultry litter in animal feed in the US, beginning with an FDA ban in 1967 over safety concerns, which was later reversed. In the mid-2000s, the FDA again considered banning litter use due to mad cow disease risks but ultimately decided a ban was unnecessary. The document also provides several citations and studies on using litter in poultry and cattle feed and the effects on animal growth and performance.
This document summarizes a study on the effect of hen age on fertility. The study found that older hens had decreased sperm penetration and fertility compared to younger hens, even when inseminated with similar numbers of sperm. There are a few potential reasons for this: 1) older hens may release sperm from storage more readily or in larger numbers; 2) older hens have smaller sperm storage areas due to increased weight; 3) sperm may remain viable for less time when stored in older hens; 4) older hens may produce fewer sperm receptor sites on eggs. The results indicate that reduced fertility in older flocks is partly due to physical and physiological changes in hens with age.
This document provides information about alternatives to chemotherapy for cancer treatment. It discusses chemotherapy drugs and their mechanisms of action. Additionally, it explores the potential role of unusual plant derivatives and microbes in cancer diagnosis, treatment and minimizing recurrence. The document contains a lengthy list of over 350 common cancer drugs used in chemotherapy.
TREATING Cattle dung for use as manure or poultry feeding stuffDVS BioLife Ltd
This document discusses methods for processing cattle dung. It begins by providing background on changes in livestock practices, including the rise of confined animal feeding operations that produce large volumes of manure slurry. Key issues with slurry include ammonia emissions, odors, and pathogens. The document then evaluates methods for processing cattle dung, including composting and converting it into a livestock feed ingredient to recycle nutrients. It provides details on the chemical composition and energy content of cattle manure and analyzes factors that influence emissions and degradation.
MastitisCare is a formulation used to control subclinical mastitis in dairy cows. It can also be used as an adjunct to conventional mastitis therapy involving antibiotics. Mastitis is caused by bacteria and impacts animal welfare and milk quality. MastitisCare contains minerals, probiotics, organic acids, and vitamins that can help prevent and treat mastitis as an alternative to antibiotics. It is applied topically to the udder and surrounding areas to control mastitis without the need for withdrawal times.
This document discusses methods for protecting orchards and vineyards from frost damage. It begins by describing how cold temperatures can damage crops in winter months. It then discusses various frost protection methods including shelter belts, covers, and heating systems. Specific systems mentioned include overtree and undertree sprinklers, heaters, wind machines, and evaporative cooling. Key considerations for selecting a protection system include the crop, location, costs, and weather conditions. Maintaining adequate water supplies and distribution is also important for methods using water like sprinklers. The document provides details on estimating heat outputs and water needs for different systems. Overall it aims to help farmers choose effective and economical frost protection.
The document discusses sodium chloride (common salt) and its replacement Saltex. It provides background on common salt, including its properties, roles in the body, absorption, and regulation. It notes that excess salt consumption is linked to several health conditions like hypertension. While salt is essential in small amounts, reducing sodium chloride levels in foods is challenging. The document then proposes ammonium chloride as a probable safe alternative to sodium chloride for its properties and physiological roles.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

NEED OF MIMIC-BM ARISES IN THE CASES OF
• Mothers those who cannot breast feed owing to medical reasons
Without any intervention, 30-35% of mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) cases are
due to breastfeeding. The remaining portion of MTCT cases occur in utero and at
childbirth. This is called perinatal transmission. As the total percentage of MTCT
ranges from between 15-45% by region, it's expected that a child born to an HIV-
positive mother has a 5-10% chance of acquiring the virus via breastfeeding
• Mothers those who cannot breast feed owing to poor lactation
• Non availability of Mothers.
• Other Reasons
Despite all the public-health campaigns encouraging new mothers to breastfeed,
tens of millions of babies worldwide are raised on infant formula rather than breast
milk.
PREAMBLE
Given that so many babies are being bottlefed, we are bound to do something and
everything that is possible on this Earth to make it better and worthwhile not in the
interest of Economics but due to our accountability to give our best to our next
generations. However It is becoming feasible to manufacture human proteins like
those in milk, thanks to the advancement in Science and Technology, which could be
added to such breast milk replacements.
The buffalo milk is normally hesitated to be given to infants in India for unknown
reasons. Some of such reasons might be that
Buffalo milk contains more energy, protein, fat or total solid as compared to the cow’s or
other milk types.
Buffalo Milk will not be easily digested
Buffalo Milk may cause flatulence recurrent vomiting abdominal distension and difficulty
in stool evacuation.

INITIAL COLONIZATION OF THE NEONATE
There is no publication or work describing the presence of lactic acid bacterial strains in
normal human amniotic fluid. It has been so far nowhere reported that such non-
pathogenic microbial strains could be beneficial for the gestating baby. Just during the
gestation, the initial microbial populations are able to colonize the fetal gut.
INTESTINAL MICROFLORA IN THE NEWBORN INFANT
Fetuses are sterile in the womb, but beginning with the birth process, infants are
exposed to microbes that originate from the mother and the surrounding environment.
The infant tends to acquire the flora swallowed from the vaginal fluid at the time
of delivery. Because vaginal flora and intestinal flora are similar, an infant's flora
may closely mimic the intestinal flora of the mother.
Another factor affecting the intestinal flora of the newborn is delivery mode.
A normal vaginal delivery commonly permits transfer of bacteria from the mother to the
infant.
During cesarean deliveries, this transfer is completely absent. These infants commonly
acquire and are colonized with flora from the hospital's environment and, therefore, their
flora may differ from maternal flora. Infants delivered by cesarean section are colonized
with more anaerobic bacteria, especially Bacteroides, than vaginally delivered infants.
Clostridium perfringens is the anaerobic bacterium most frequently isolated after
5. cesarean deliveries. When colonized, cesarean delivered infants less frequently harbor
E. coli, and more often klebsiella and enterobacteria.
The initial colonizing bacteria vary with the food source of the infant including breast
milk or formulated dairy products fed by bottle.
Breast milk provides along with the basic fats, proteins, carbohydrates, minerals and
vitamins that babies need to survive; hormones, immune signalling molecules,
antibodies and even living immune cells. It also contains live bacteria that help colonise
a baby's gut, along with substances that promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.
In breast-fed infants, Bifidobacteria account for more than 90% of the total intestinal
bacteria. The low concentration of protein in human milk, the presence of specific anti-
infective proteins such as immunoglobulin A, lactoferrin, lysozyme, and oligosacharides
(prebiotics), as well as production of lactic acid, cause an acid milieu and are the main
reasons for its bifidogenic charachtersitics.
It has been recently found that breast milk contains endocannabinoids that
stimulate suckling and appetite.
It is well known that Breast Milk contains sugars that stop bacteria sticking to gut cells,
and fats that disrupt certain kinds of viruses, and an array of signalling molecules that
stimulate immune development.
In bottle-fed infants, Bifidobacteria are not predominant. Instead enterobacteria and
gram-negative organisms dominate because of a more alkaline milieu and the
absence of the prebiotic modulatory factors present in breast milk.
The establishment of an intestinal microbial ecology is very variable at the
beginning but will become a more stable system similar to the adult microflora by
the end of the breast feeding period.
Other factors affecting the intestinal microflora of the infant include geographical
differences (industrialized vs. developing countries) and administration of
antibiotics in neonatal intensive care.

DIGESTION PROCESS IN NEONATALS
The triglyceride digestive process of the neonate is complex. It is initiated by a gastric
phase catalyzed by gastric or lingual lipase [Hamosh M. (1990) Nutrition ; 6: 421-8]. This
initial lipolysis allows maximal activity of pancreatic colipase-dependent lipase during the
intestinal phase of digestion. The pancreatic lipase system attacks the triglyceride with a
high degree of positional specificity. Lipolysis occurs predominantly at the son-l and sn-3
positions, yielding two free fatty acids and a 2-monoglyceride
[Mattson FH. & Beck LH. (1956) J. Biol. Chem. ; 219: 735-740].
Monoglycerides are well absorbed independent of their constituent fatty acid.
In contrast, the absorption of free fatty acids varies greatly, depending on their chemical
structure.
Mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids are well absorbed, as are saturated fatty acids of 12
carbons or less in chain length. The coefficient of absorption of free long chain saturated
fatty acids i. e. palmitic acid is relatively low due in part to a melting point above body
temperature (~63°) and the tendency of these fatty acids to form hydrated fatty acid soaps
with minerals such as calcium or magnesium at the pH of the intestine
[Jensen C, et al. (1988) Am. J. Clin. Nutr. ; 43: 745-51].
The greater absorption of fat and calcium in breast-fed infants compared with those fed
animal milk has been ascribed to two factors: the presence in breast milk of a lipolytic
6. enzyme (the bile salt- stimulated lipase) and the relatively high proportion of palmitic acid
at the sua-2 position of the triglyceride
(Hernell O. et al. (1988) Perinatal Nutrition.)
NUTRITIONAL REQUIREMENTS OF INFANTS
During the first year of life an infant's birth weight triples and the length is increased by
50%. To meet the requirements of their rapidly expanding skeletal mass, growing infants
require bio available sources of Micro Nutrients like Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium,
Manganese, Zinc and Vitamin D3 apart from the regular Macro Nutrients like Amino Acids,
Carbohydrates and Lipids.
PROTEIN:
Recommended level is 2.46 g/kg bodyweight/day
(FAO/WHO/UOU Expert Consultation, 1985)
FATTY ACID PROFILE
Studies have shown that fatty acid composition of the diet influences the fatty acid
composition of developing infant tissue
(Widdowson E. M. (1975) Br. Med. J.; 1: 633-5; Carlson SE. et al. (1986) Am. J. Clin. Nutr.
; 44: 798-804 ; Innis SM. et al.)
CACIUM AND FATTY ACIDS
The higher the amount of unsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic acid, the better, since this
indicates that most of the sn-1, 3 positions are occupied by fatty acids that will not create
harmful complexes with calcium.
Consequently, the infant will not lose either energy (in the form of fatty acids) or calcium.

Content of 3 Omega Fatty Acids in Flax / Linseed oil : 58 g / 100g
linolenic acid
ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) is an omega-3 essential fatty acid. GLA (gamma-linolenic acid)
is an essential omega-6 fatty acid manufactured by the body from the essential fatty acid
linoleic acid. An essential fatty acid is one that must be supplied by the diet, since the body
cannot manufacture it or cannot manufacture enough of it. Both ALA and GLA are
polyunsaturated fats ("good" fats, as opposed to saturated fats which increase the risk of
heart disease). ALA and GLA are found in the seed oils of certain plants.
7. ALA is an omega-3 fatty acid that, to a limited extent, can be converted in the body into
two other important omega-3's — EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA
(docosahexaenoic acid) — (see The body has a limited ability to manufacture both EPA
and DHA from ALA (only about 10% is converted), and even this is lessened if the diet is
too high in omega-6 fatty acids, because they compete with omega 3's for certain
enzymes as they are metabolized.
GLA is an omega-6 fatty acid. The body ordinarily is able to produce sufficient GLA from
the essential fatty acid linoleic acid (LA), However, GLA production may be reduced in
several conditions (advanced age, diabetes, high alcohol intake, eczema, cyclic mastitis,
viral infections, excessive saturated fat intake, elevated cholesterol, and some
vitamin/mineral deficiencies). In such cases, supplements may be beneficial.
ALA:
The Mediterranean diet, which is associated with a lower risk of coronary artery disease
and certain types of cancer, is high in ALA. However, the beneficial effects of EPA and
DHA (which include cardiovascular benefits and reduced pain associated with rheumatoid
arthritis and menstrual cramps) have not been seen with ALA alone. There is preliminary
evidence that ALA might be useful in bipolar disorder.
GLA:
GLA may be useful in diseases that involve inflammation. GLA is useful in treating breast
pain associated with the menstrual cycle (cyclic mastalgia). It appears to be helpful in
about 50% of women studied, vs. less than half that for placebo. However, it may not be
effective in more severe cases involving actual breast cysts or lumps. GLA may also be
helpful in reducing other PMS symptoms. GLA is used in Europe to treat diabetic
neuropathy and eczema — although the evidence that it works for these conditions is
mixed. It may also have some benefit in treating rheumatoid arthritis (especially as purified
GLA and when combined with traditional treatments) and Raynaud's phenomenon. Many
other potential uses, including some in conjunction with fish oils, have been explored, but
evidence is either weak or very preliminary. Linoleic acid, which the body can convert into
GLA, may also have a role in treating symptoms of multiple sclerosis.
Most clinical studies of GLA, such as those on breast pain and diabetic neuropathy,
Experts now believe that the CURRENT HUMAN diet contains too little omega-3 fatty
acids and too much omega-6 fatty acids. They compete with each other for certain
enzymes needed in their metabolism. Consequently, too much omega-6 fatty acids in the
diet will interfere with the body's conversion of ALA into DHA and EPA and may contribute
to an increased risk of heart disease and cancer. While the ratio of omega-6's to omega-
3's in the CURRENT HUMAN diet is believed to be as high as 14:1 (14 grams of omega
6's for every gram of omega-3's), a ratio of no more than 3:1 (3 grams of omega-6's for
every 1 gram of omega-3) is recommended.
Galacto-Oligosaccharide
A low level of galacto-oligosaccharide (0.24 g/100 mL) in infant formula can improve
stool frequency, decrease fecal pH, and stimulate intestinal Bifidobacteria and
Lactobacilli as in those fed with human milk.
(Xiao-Ming Ben, Juan Li, Zong-Tai Feng, Sheng-Yun Shi, Ya-Dong Lu, Rui Chen, Xiao-Yu Zhou;
R World J Gastroenterol 2008 November 14; 14(42): 6564-6568)
PRETERM BABIES AND B COMPLEX REQUIREMENTS
8. Samples of milk were taken at intervals during lactation from 35 mothers of term and 26
mothers of preterm infants and assayed for 8 B complex vitamins. Both term and
preterm milks varied widely in vitamin content between mothers. Mean concentrations of
thiamin, vitamin B6, nicotinic acid, pantothenic acid, biotin, and folic acid increased
progressively over several weeks after parturition but vitamin B12 concentrations
declined generally and riboflavin values showed little change. Preterm milk was not
richer in vitamins than term milk of the corresponding stage of lactation and it appeared
that intake of B vitamins differed widely among preterm infants given their own mothers'
milk. These infants may have meager body reserves and an increased need for
vitamins, and breast milk whether from their own mother or from the milk bank may not
meet their needs. There is a strong case for supplementing breast milk given to preterm
babies with the B complex vitamins.
(J E Ford, A Zechalko, J Murphy, and O G Brooke; Arch Dis Child. 1983 May; 58(5):
367–372.)
L. gasseri
Breast milk of healthy women is a major source of lactic acid bacteria to the infant gut,
and that Lactobacillus gasseri is among the predominant species.
L. gasseri(CECT 5714) and L. coryniformis (CECT 5711), enhanced immunity in healthy
people to a greater extent than the standard yogurt consumption.
(Mónica Olivares, M. Paz Díaz-Ropero, Nuria Gómez, Federico Lara-Villoslada, Saleta
Sierra, Juan A. Maldonado, Rocío Martín, Juan M. Rodríguez, Jordi Xaus; Int Microbiol
2006; 9(1):47-52)
CONSTIPATION PROBLEM
Another important issue which is associated with animal milk feeding is constipation in
both term and preterm infants which, in the latter, can lead to life threatening
complications. By contrast, constipation is rare in breast fed term infants. A study
comparing breast fed and formula fed infant stool hardness and composition showed
that calcium fatty acid soaps are positively correlated to stool hardness. Stools from
formula-fed infants were significantly harder than those of the breast-fed infants
suggesting different handling of saturated fatty acids
[Quinlan PT. et al. (1995) J. Pediatr. Gastr. and Nutr. ; 20: 81-90].
TARGETS OF MIMIC-BM
Manufacture of a new milk formulation for feeding Neonatal based on Buffalo Milk can
be done by doing the following modifications.
• Addition of Lipase and suitable DFM which can secrete suitable Lipase enzymes
fit for the lipolysis in neonatal.
• Calcium in the milk is to be reduced by electro dialysis which decreases the curd
tension and improves the heat stability; or Fatty acid profiles are to be modified
which will not interfere with Calcium.
• Fortification with lactose and vitamin mixture.
• Milk proteins particularly αs casein is to be degraded by regulated proteolysis of
milk with trypsin or Direct Fed Microbes which secrete these enzymes are to be
incorporated.
• Suitable viable specific strains of bifidobacterium and lactobacillus are to be
incorporated.
9. • Vegetable oil and milk fat in distinct proportions are to be incorporated resulting
in improved polyunsaturated fatty acid profiles;
SELECTION OF THE CONSTITUENTS OF MIMIC-BM
Probiotics used in MIMIC-BM have been obtained from different sources apart from
feces, such as goat cheese and from human breast milk and amniotic fluid, and have
been chosen by a method consisting in the ability of these strains to survive in breast
milk and/or amniotic fluid, and by their ability to be transferred to breast milk and/or
amniotic fluid after oral intake and by their ability to perform the tasks required as by
Breast Milk.
This selection method ensures that these bacterial strains present in MIMIC-BM have
implicitly most of the characteristics attributed to a potential probiotic strain, namely
• Absolute safety aspects,
• Adhesion capabilities
• Amicable origin,
• Good resistance to digestion process
• Other beneficial characteristics.
• Regulating some human niches other than the gut.
• The ability of gut colonization,
• Secretion of quality immunomodulators
• Secretion of quality enzymes necessary for improvising the food conversion
• Secretion of quality Vitamins etc
Improving the Characteristics of these Selective Probiotic
Strains
Is done during the harvesting of these microbes by replacing
• the nitrogen sources to lactic casein
• the lipids to Linseed Oil
to make them target specific.

TRADITIONAL METHOD OF MANUFACTURING MODIFIED
BUFFALO MILK FOR USE IN INFANTS
Buffalo milk was diluted with four parts of whey that was produced by addition of citric
acid or lemon juice to milk and neutralization with sodium bicarbonate.
SUGGESTED METHOD OF PREPARATION OF ARTIFICIAL
BREAST MILK IN THE DAIRY PROCESSING PLANT
Preparation of a fermented liquid milk formula using Buffalo Milk for use in the
cases of bottle fed infants.
A normal fermented liquid milk composition with MIMIC-BM was prepared using the
following Process:
Dilute Buffalo Milk with sterile water free from Chlorine so as the
Resultant Milk possess 1.5% Fat; 3% protein 997g/kg
MIMIC- BM (10^10 CfU/g) 3 g/kg
The fat and dry solids contents of the milk were standardized before use, according to
the requirements of the formulation as described above.
After that, the milk was homogenized at 20-25 Mpa and 65-70°C to obtain optimum
physical properties in the product.
The preparation was heated at 90-95°C and a holding time of about 5 minutes.
This period of time causes the de naturation of about 70-80% of whey proteins.
Cooled milk (40-45°C) was inoculated with the MIMIC-BM in absence of any other
starter culture and fermented in the incubation tank at 40-45°C for 10 hours without
agitation until reaching a final pH (pH 4.5-5).
Then Add Vit. A, B Complex and Vitamin C.
After clot formation, this mixture was homogenized by mechanical methods.
Once the homogenization was carried out, the preparation was cooled down to a
temperature below 10°C in 60 minutes.

METHOD OF ANALYSIS OF MIMIC-BM
Adhesion Properties
The adhesion of the probiotic strains present in MIMIC-BM were assessed using Caco-2
(grey bars) or HT-29 (black bars) intestinal cell lines and compared to commercial
probiotic strains. Twenty randomized fields were counted and the results expressed as
the mean of the number of bacteria attached to the cells per field SD. The adhesion
capability of a probiotic strain to each intestinal cell line was considered high if the
12. number of attached bacteria was >250, moderate between 100 and 250, and slight
>100.
Survival to digestion conditions.
The resistance of the probiotic strains present in MIMIC-BM, to acidic (grey bars) and
high bile salt content (black bars) was assessed in vitro by culture of bacteria in MRS pH
3.0 or 0.15% bile salts for 90 minutes. The results are represented as the mean SD of
three independent experiments. The resistance of a probiotic strain was considered high
if the survival was >80%, moderate between 60% and 80%, and slight >60%.
Generation time of probiotic strains present in MIMIC-BM.
The time of generation of the probiotic strains present in MIMIC-BM was assessed in
vitro by cultivating bacteria in MRS 0.2% glucose for 120 minutes. The results are
represented in minutes and as the mean SD of three independent experiments. The
generation time of a probiotic strain was considered rapid if the time was less than 60,
moderate between 60 and 120, and slow >120 minutes.
Fermentation capabilities of probiotic strains present in MIMIC-BM
The fermentation capabilities of the probiotic strains present in MIMIC-BM, to use
complex carbohydrates as an unique source of carbohydrates was assessed in vitro by
cultivating bacteria in MRS without glucose and supplemented with 2% of indicated
carbohydrates for 24 and 48 hours. Reduction of the pH was assessed using brom
cresol purple. The results are represented as the fold-induction in absorbance after 24
hours compared with a control culture without carbohydrate source (A) and the sum of
all independent fold- induction values (B). The fermentation capability of a probiotic
strain was considered high if the total value was >30, moderate between 25 and 30, and
slight <25.
Resistance to antibiotic of probiotic strains present in MIMIC-BM.
The resistance of antibiotic treatment of the probiotic strains present in MIMIC-BM was
assessed in vitro by an agar well diffusion assay in Mueller-Hinton plates for 24-48
hours. The diameter of the hallo of inhibition determines the antibiotic effect. The results
are represented as R (resistant) if the hallo has a diameter < 12 mm, I (intermediate)
from 12 to 15 mm, and S (sensible) if >15 mm. After that, a numerical value was
assigned to each condition: R=3, I=2, and S=1. The resistance capability of a probiotic
strain was considered high if the total value was >17, moderate between 15 and 17, and
slight <15.
Acid production by the probiotic strains present in MIMIC-BM.
The production of acid (lactic, propionic, acetic and butyric acid) by the probiotic strains
present in MIMIC-BM was assessed in vitro by the measurement of the pH in milk
cultures for 24 (grey bars) and 48 (black bars) hours. The production of acid by a
probiotic strain was considered high if the milk pH value after 48 hours was <4,
moderate between 4 and 4.5, and slight >4.5.
Production of bactericide metabolites by the probiotic strains present in MIMIC-
BM.
The production of antimicrobial metabolites by the probiotic strains present in MIMIC-BM
was assessed in vitro by an agar well diffusion assay in TSA plates cultured with S.
typhimuriumi (black bars) or Escherichia coli (grey bars). The diameter of the hallo (in
millimeters) of inhibition induced by the bacterial supernatants determines the
13. bactericide effect. The antimicrobial capability of a probiotic strain was considered high if
the hallo was >12, moderate between 8 and 12, and slight <8 for both pathogenic
strains.
Inhibition of the adhesion of pathogenic bacteria.
The adhesion of the pathogenic strains E. coli (grey bars) and S. typhimurium (black
bars) to Caco-2 cells was assessed in the presence of the probiotic strains present in
MIMIC-BM and compared to other such commercial products available in the global
markets. Ten randomized fields were counted and the results expressed as the mean of
the % of adhered gram-negative bacteria attached to the cells compared to the number
of pathogenic bacteria adhered in absence of MIMIC-BM. The capability of a probiotic
strain to inhibit pathogenic bacteria adherence was considered high if the % of both
attached pathogenic bacteria was <25, moderate between 25 and 75, and slight >75.
Gut colonization by L. Salivarius
The number of fecal lactobacillus, bifidobacteria and coliform bacteria in mice
supplemented daily for 14 days with 108 cfu of L. salivarius was analyzed by bacterial
platting. Fecal samples (200 mg aprox) were collected at day 0, 7 and 14 of probiotic
supplementation and also one and two weeks (day 21 and 28) after supplementation
was terminated. (* p< 0.05 ; ** p<0. 01).
Effect of L. Fermentum on Salmonella infection.
L. fermentum CECT5716 inhibits Salmonella translocation to the spleen. The number of
Salmonella colonies was measured in the spleens of mice treated with L. fermentum
with or without vaccination with 108 inactivated cfu of Salmonella after 24 hour of an oral
challenge with 10'° cfu Salmonella. B) The same mice were used to measure the IgA
content in feces.
Effect of probiotic strains present in MIMIC-BM on cytokine expression.
The TNF-(x (A) ot IL-10 (B) cytokine production was analyzed in bone marrow derived
macrophages stimulated with LPS and the indicated probiotic strain for 12 hours.
Cytokine production was detected by an ELISA technique.
Effect of probiotic strains present in MIMIC-BM on Ig G expression.
The IgG production was analyzed in lymphocytes obtained from the spleen of Balb/c
mice (6-8 weeks old) stimulated with LPS and the indicated probiotic strain for 6 days.
Immunoglobulin production was detected by an ELISA technique from Bethyl.
