Abstract
Aim: To study the alteration
of major milk components such as milk fat, protein, lactose, solid
not fat (SNF) and total solids (TS) and their association with
different degree of intra-mammary inflammation (IMI) in Jaffrabadi
buffaloes.
Materials and Methods: Milk samples (n=1516) were collected
from Jaffrabadi buffaloes separately from each quarter. Milk
samples were analyzed for milk fat, protein, lactose, SNF and TS
percent on the same day using milk analyzer "LACTOSCAN." Milk
samples were checked for IMI by California mastitis test (CMT),
and the results were expressed as negative (0), +, ++, and +++ CMT
score. The traits of milk components which showed significant
difference (p<0.05) between samples from inflamed and non-inflamed
quarters were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC)
analysis to see the accuracy and degree of association with IMI.
Results: Among several milk components, milk protein and
lactose percent showed a significant difference (p<0.05) between
milk samples from normal and inflamed quarters. Though, during the
early stage of mammary gland inflammation milk protein percent
remained significantly high (p<0.05), later with an increase in
the degree of severity of inflammation it did not show any
difference. Milk samples from normal udder quarters had
significantly higher lactose percent than inflamed quarters
(p<0.05). Milk lactose percent decreased gradually with an
increase in the degree of severity of inflammation. ROC analysis
revealed that milk samples having lactose content below the
threshold values had significantly higher chances to come from
inflamed udder quarters (p<0.05). Though, the value of the area
under curve (AUC) indicated that milk lactose was significantly
associated with IMI (p<0.05), the accuracy was moderate (AUC=0.71-0.75).
Conclusions: The results of the present study indicated that
milk lactose percent gradually and significantly reduced during
IMI and can be used as a marker for identification of IMI in
buffaloes. However, ROC analysis further confirmed that using milk
lactose IMI can be identified with moderate accuracy.
Keywords: buffaloes, intra-mammary inflammation, milk
components, milk lactose.
