Influence of Drying Techniques and Encapsulation Materials on the Antibacterial Activity of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum Cell-Free Supernatants

This study demonstrates that the antibacterial efficacy of *Lactiplantibacillus plantarum* cell-free supernatants against various foodborne pathogens is significantly influenced by the drying method and encapsulation material, with freeze-drying combined with sodium caseinate yielding the highest bioactivity and spray-drying with maltodextrin proving more favorable for specific applications.

A cross-sectional study of mastitis-associated bacteria in dairy cow bedding in Germany

This cross-sectional study of German dairy farms identifies bedding material, dry matter content, and pH as key factors influencing initial bacterial loads in fresh bedding, though these advantages diminish rapidly after three days of use, highlighting the need for management strategies that optimize fresh bedding quality while minimizing moisture accumulation and contamination during use.
