Milk Protein Testing

surmil,

Are you testing for ketosis or for milk standardization for processing, which is very difficult due to the cows production varies with the season and through out the lactation period.

Beta Casomorphine7 is produce in the human body in the digestive tract from the digestion of A1 β-casein one of the proteins in cows milk. The research was on the study of the proteins on human health. That the mix of proteins in cows milk was due to the genetics of the cow.

good sight ozzb

I am very glad that this information about BCM7 has also been noted in USA. I wonder if there is any public awareness and action taking place in USA about this subject in interest of public health at large.

We in India have world's largest population of Bos Indicus cows. But no body has tested these cows for their A2 genes. Cross breeding of A1 with A2 has been in practice for many years. But it is not expected that even 20% of Indian cows have an A! A2 mix.

This testing in India has a great potential to protect very poor rural infants from pediatric diseases.

Cow milk looks like is more closer to mother's milk in humans. I wonder how Buffaloes became popular in India on later date for milk. From Krishna's Mathura, it was all about cows that were listed in the literature and never any Buffalo, Camel, Goat or Sheep for milk was talked about. I think goat milk was practiced by MKS Gandhi, but I could not take a drop of it due to its bad smell.

I think, it is very good idea to compare mother's milk to the all other milk sources and to find one that is closer and very effective replacement.

A good prophesor in Karnal churned lot of phds... you can access these under Humanisation of bufflow milk and other sundry milks,As regards Lords preferance for cows,well a cow travels at your bidding,same cannot be said about a bufflow,they prefer to stay put in water and their milk to feed convertion is poor.Lastly our Lord is also Shyam and the bufflow is also shyam,must have thought one was sufficient at one place,at one time

In my childhood I have seen lots of wild cows that were very natural in North India. They used to be very strong and fast in transit and were always in large group, running very fast through farms and perhaps at night they might be taking some rest somewhere. They did eat small part of our crops. There were other animals of wild nature that were also in similar herds. I do not see them now so they must have been killed by people at some place. Our local people that I know do not kill animals so they were never hurt even if they eat their crops. I think situation for most of the wild life is bad now and such natural gene which was very strong did not last longer the current day life system. When I see cows on road walking slowly, I pity seeing their current unnatural form. They do come to my house door daily looking for small amount of bread (roti / chapati) my wife prepares just for them. Perhaps many people give them that small amount of food so they go to each door where they expect food to come from. I just wonder how they know exact time and location. They do not wait much and know if they will get food or not. It is wonderful feeling.

One thing they never mention in testing milk is the Agent Orange that come from the cotten seed they use in cattle feed.

Agent Orange is used to defoilate the plant before harvesting and it soaks into the seed. Cotten seed oil is use to cook with too.

agent orenge was used long back,if it used even now please tell us where,some information about it present usage become all important.we have very limited knowledge about its degradation or cumulative accumilation in biologicaly active species

they use it on many cotten farms in the south. Texas, Louisana, arkansas.

I am surprized the states dont worry about water table contamination but money talks.

There is mention of ion exchange chromatography in the literature you linked.

It is not quite a continuous industrial process, or a field portable one either.

I found this instructive:http://www.labodia.com/Kit_Protocols/BBCM-42HK.pdf in searching Google for Beta Casomorphine antigen.

Usually, if an antigen can be produced, aside from radio-immunoassay, photonics means, fluorescence or other sensing techniques can be developped.

In the early 90's, a company I worked for was Pharmacia. They were developing a bio-activity sensor using antigen loaded agarose gel, with would change refractive index with the level of biological activity. This was in form of a disposable microfluidic cassette. Quite ahead of their time, the are now part of GE.

Now, this can also be performed with fiber optics, using a now better known phenomena called surface plasmon resonance.
