Abstract: This invention relates to the therapeutic and prophylactic use of a combination including lactoperoxidase and at least one other component, with an isoelectric point of, or substantially above 6.8, and which are extracted from milk, to modulate the microbiome of an animal by selectively against at least one pathogenic microoganism.

Abstract: The present invention relates to products and processes for the treatment or prevention of viral infection(s). In particular the invention relates to the use of one or more proteins, typically obtained from milk, for the treatment or prevention of viral infection(s). In particular embodiments the invention uses combinations of milk proteins for the treatment or prevention of viral infection(s). The products of the invention may be used in combination with other active agents, including other antiviral agents.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a medicament including a treatment composition in combination with at least one anti-inflammatory composition, characterised in that the treatment composition is extracted from whole milk, processed milk or milk derived substance, and wherein the treatment composition contains a cationic fraction which includes two or more components of the whole milk, processed milk or milk derived substance with an isoelectric point of or greater than substantially 6.8.

Abstract: A medicament for the treatment or prevention of a microbial infection or an associated condition in a low oxygen environment characterised in that the medicament includes an extended acting oxygen generating system.

Abstract: An animal control system, including at least one transducer assembly intimately associated with an animal, and at least one control unit, wherein the control unit contains at least one assembly that includes on-board data, and the control unit is configured to a) receive data from the transducer assembly, and b) assess the received data with respect to the on-board data, and c) formulate and transmit a command to an appropriate transducer assembly; the system characterized in that the control unit is functionally separated from both actuation of the command and from the transducer assembly or assemblies.

Abstract: A robotic milking system includes a stall wherein dairy animals enter one at a time to be milked automatically. A holding tank receives successive measures of milk from successive dairy animals. Separation devices receive the successive measures of milk from the holding tank to separate components from the milk.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for testing a milk for mastitis wherein the milk sample is admixed with a detergent under condition that increase the viscosity of the milk sample; the increased viscosity mixture is subjected to a further procedure for further increasing its viscosity; and the further increased viscosity mixture is then tested for an attribute of somatic cells, such as DNA. This determination is then used to establish if the cow from whom the milk came has mastitis.
