Abstract
Lactoferrin is a highly glycosylated protein, which have important biological functions in the growth and development of neonates. However, the glycoforms and glycosylation sites differed between species. The aim of the study was to identify the glycosylation profile (including glycosites, glycan structures, and glycoforms) of purified lactoferrin from human and animal (cow, goat, sheep) milk by using site-specific glycoproteomics technique. In total, a number of 89 N-glycans were identified in human and animal milk lactoferrin. We identified three N-glycosites with 23 different compositions of N-glycans in cow lactoferrin (CLF), four distinctive N-glycosites with 34 dissimilar N-glycan compositions in goat lactoferrin (GLF), five N-glycosites with 57 different N-glycan compositions in sheep lactoferrin (SLF), while five unique N-glycosites with 50 different N-glycan compositions were ascertained in human lactoferrin (HLF). HLF had the most complex glycan, while animal lactoferrin had the most high-mannose glycoforms. The results of this study further our understanding of lactoferrin differences between human and animal milk, which can provide a perspective on the analysis of differences in functional characteristics.

Abstract
The global pandemic of COVID-19 is considered one of the most catastrophic events on earth. During the pandemic, food ingredients may play crucial roles in preventing infectious diseases and sustaining people's general health and well-being. Animal milk acts as a super food since it has the capacity to minimize the occurrence of viral infections due to inherent antiviral properties of its ingredients. SARS-CoV-2 virus infection can be prevented by immune-enhancing and antiviral properties of caseins, α-lactalbumin, β-lactoglobulin, mucin, lactoferrin, lysozyme, lactoperoxidase, oligosaccharides, glycosaminoglycans, and glycerol monolaurate. Some of the milk proteins (i.e., lactoferrin) may work synergistically with antiviral medications (e.g., remdesivir), and enhance the effectiveness of treatment in this disease. Cytokine storm during COVID-19 can be managed by casein hydrolyzates, lactoferrin, lysozyme, and lactoperoxidase. Thrombus formation can be prevented by casoplatelins as these can inhibit human platelet aggregation. Milk vitamins (i.e., A, D, E, and B complexes) and minerals (i.e., Ca, P, Mg, Zn, and Se) can have significantly positive effects on boosting the immunity and health status of individuals. In addition, certain vitamins and minerals can also act as antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, and antivirals. Thus, the overall effect of milk might be a result of synergistic antiviral effects and host immunomodulator activities from multiple components. Due to multiple overlapping functions of milk ingredients, they can play vital and synergistic roles in prevention as well as supportive agents during principle therapy of COVID-19.

A live yeast supplementation to gestating ewes improves bioactive molecule composition in colostrum with no impact on its bacterial composition and beneficially affects immune status of the offspring. J Nutr Sci 2022; 11:e5.

Abstract
Abstract
Colostrum quality is of paramount importance in the management of optimal ruminant growth and infectious disease prevention in early life. Live yeast supplementation effect during the last month of gestation was evaluated on ewes’ colostrum composition. Two groups of ewes (n = 14) carrying twin lambs were constituted and twins were separated into groups (mothered or artificially fed) 12 h after birth. Nutrient, oligosaccharides (OS), IgG and lactoferrin concentrations were measured over 72 h after lambing, and bacterial community was described in colostrum collected at parturition (T0). Immune passive transfer was evaluated through IgG measurement in lamb serum. In both groups, colostral nutrient, OS concentrations and IgG concentrations in colostrum and lamb serum decreased over time (P < 0⋅01), except for lactose, which slightly increased (P < 0⋅001), and lactoferrin, which remained stable. Bacterial population was stable over time with high relative abundances of Aerococcaceae, Corynebacteriaceae, Moraxellaceae and Staphylococcaceae in T0 colostrum. No effect of supplementation was observed in nutrient and lactoferrin concentrations. In supplemented ewes, the level of colostral IgG was higher at T0 and a higher level of serum IgG was observed in lambs born from supplemented mothers and artificially fed, while no effect of supplementation was observed in the mothered lamb groups. Using a metabolomic approach, we showed that supplementation affected OS composition with significantly higher levels of colostral Neu-5Gc compounds up to 5 h after birth. No effect of supplementation was observed on bacterial composition. Our data suggest that live yeast supplementation offsets the negative impact of early separation and incomplete colostrum feeding in neonate lambs.

Abstract
Lactoferrin (LF) belongs to the family of transferrins having multifunctional roles associated with the immune system of animals. To follow the aims for this study was selected 20 sequences of LF from mammalian species to evaluate the chemical, biological, and structural properties. Bioinformatics approaches used programs such as MAFFT for sequence alignment; PartitionFinder and MrBayes for phylogenetic approaches; I-TASSER, PROCHECK, Molecular Operating Environment (MOE), SWISS Model server, Peptide DB and Expasy ProtParam to estimate the physicochemical properties, to model the protein and predicted secondary structures. A phylogenic analysis shows species with genetic similarities clustered by complexity and unique grouping between Capra hircus, Macaca mulatta, and Myotis lucifugus, since they presented more amino acids but not overall changes in the iron-binding sites or biological aspects. Structural deviations in these clusters obtained in LF from those species were found in residues 46 (position 406-450), that is part of alpha-helix, and 37 (position 295-331), that is part of the beta-sheets. Our predicted model can be used to investigate more about structural aspects of LF and be applied for medicinal research.

Abstract
Milk and colostrum have high biological potential, and due to their natural origin and non-toxicity, they have many uses in cosmetics and dermatology. Research is ongoing on their potential application in other fields of medicine, but there are still few results; most of the published ones are included in this review. These natural products are especially rich in proteins, such as casein, β-lactoglobulin, α-lactalbumin, lactoferrin, immunoglobulins, lactoperoxidase, lysozyme, and growth factors, and possess various antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anticancer, antioxidant, immunomodulatory properties, etc. This review describes the physico-chemical properties of milk and colostrum proteins and the natural functions they perform in the body and compares their composition between animal species (cows, goats, and sheep). The milk- and colostrum-based products can be used in dietary supplementation and for performing immunomodulatory functions; they can enhance the effects of certain drugs and can have a lethal effect on pathogenic microorganisms. Milk products are widely used in the treatment of dermatological diseases for promoting the healing of chronic wounds, hastening tissue regeneration, and the treatment of acne vulgaris or plaque psoriasis. They are also increasingly regarded as active ingredients that can improve the condition of the skin by reducing the number of acne lesions and blackheads, regulating sebum secretion, ameliorating inflammatory changes as well as bestowing a range of moisturizing, protective, toning, smoothing, anti-irritation, whitening, soothing, and antiaging effects.

Abstract
The connection between inflammation and cancer is well-established and supported by genetic, pharmacological and epidemiological data. The inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, have been described as important promoters for colorectal cancer development. Risk factors include environmental and food-borne mutagens, dysbalance of intestinal microbiome composition and chronic intestinal inflammation, with loss of intestinal epithelial barrier and enhanced cell proliferation rate. Therapies aimed at shutting down mucosal inflammatory response represent the foundation for IBDs treatment. However, when applied for long periods, they can alter the immune system and promote microbiome dysbiosis and carcinogenesis. Therefore, it is imperative to find new safe substances acting as both potent anti-inflammatory and anti-pathogen agents. Lactoferrin (Lf), an iron-binding glycoprotein essential in innate immunity, is generally recognized as safe and used as food supplement due to its multifunctionality. Lf possesses a wide range of immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties against different aseptic and septic inflammatory pathologies, including IBDs. Moreover, Lf exerts anti-adhesive, anti-invasive and anti-survival activities against several microbial pathogens that colonize intestinal mucosa of IBDs patients. This review focuses on those activities of Lf potentially useful for the prevention/treatment of intestinal inflammatory pathologies associated with colorectal cancer development.

Abstract
Metabolites of serum and milk from genetically modified (GM) cows and contrast check (CK) cows were comparatively investigated. Serum and milk were collected from genetically modified (GM) cows and contrast check (CK) cows, and then, they were analyzed using ultraperformance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Although the level of some blood biochemical indexes for GM cows was shifted up or down, they were generally in normal physiological condition. Serum samples from lactoferrin GM cows exhibited reduced levels of amino acids and elevated levels of indoleacetate, α-keto acids, long-chain fatty acids, etc. GM milk possessed elevated levels of pentose and amino sugar metabolites, including arabitol, xylulose, glucuronate, and N-acetylgalactosamine. Interestingly, some essential nutrients, such as certain unsaturated fatty acids (e.g., eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and docosapentaenoic acid (DPA)), and some necessary rare sugars were significantly upregulated. Compared to the CK group, a Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis was conducted based on the increased or decreased metabolites identified in the serum and milk samples of the GM group. The results showed that the GM cows were in healthy condition and their milk has improved benefits for customers. The milk from genetically modified cows was found to be a promising milk source for producing recombinant human lactoferrin (rhLF) for human beings.

Abstract
This paper reports the first immunoplatforms for the detection of adulteration in milk with milk or colostrum from other animals. The developed electrochemical bioplatforms allow the reliable determination of immunoglobulins G (IgGs) from cows, sheeps, or goats. They rely on sandwiching each animal species-specific IgGs with selective antibody pairs [unconjugated and conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)] onto magnetic microbeads (MBs) used as solid supports and amperometric transduction with the H2O2/hydroquinone (HQ) system at disposable electrodes. The immunoplatforms allow achieving limits of detection (LODs) of 0.74, 0.82, and 0.66 ng mL-1 for bovine, ovine, and caprine IgGs, respectively, which are lower than those obtained with conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methodologies and in 2-5 times shorter time. The bioplatforms were successfully applied to the determination of the individual content of the target IgGs in milk samples of different animals (cow, sheep, and goat) and type (colostrum, raw, and pasteurized), without matrix effect and after just a sample dilution. They were also applied to the detection of adulteration with milks from other animals at levels below than those required by the European legislation (1.0%, v/v). The possibility to detect milk adulteration with colostrum using a strategy based on the measurement of the total content of the three target IgGs in raw milks is also demonstrated. Multiplexing platforms were constructed to be used in routine surveillance of milk. They are able to provide in a single run and in just 30 min relevant information regarding the milk sample including its animal origin, the undergone heat treatment, and whether it was adulterated with milk or colostrum from other species.
