ＮＩＲＳとアクアフォトミクス法を用いた唾液と乳房組織による乳牛の乳房炎の診断法

这项研究进行了47个月，目的是利用唾液和乳房组织的近红外光谱，以完全无创的方式找到一种新的奶牛乳房炎诊断方法。分析表明，唾液光谱不能检测疾病，但乳房组织光谱信息丰富。该研究扩大到也收集牛奶样品，并且除了检测乳腺炎之外，还包括检测排卵期和妊娠以及测量牛奶成分。 判别分析和回归分析的目标是检测疾病和生理状态，使用牛奶和乳房光谱。此外，尽可能检测脂肪酸含量的测量。以前不知道可以基于近红外光谱和水-脂肪酸相互作用来确定单个脂肪酸含量。研究期间产生了几篇评论论文，原创科学文章和书籍章节，介绍了aquaphotomics原理，aquaphotomics分析方法以及研究员正在进行预期将在不久的将来出版的指定任务时产生的原创科学发现。在研究员完成研究金后，合作继续进行。

This research was performed during 47 months with the goal of finding a novel way of mastitis diagnosis in dairy cows in a completely non-invasive manner using near infrared spectra of saliva and udder tissue. The analysis showed that spectra of saliva could not allow the detection of disease, but the udder tissue spectra were informationally rich. The research was expanded to collect also milk samples, and to include, beside detection of mastitis, detection of ovulation period and pregnancy and measurements of milk components. Discrimination analysis and regression analysis with goals of detection of disease and physiological states was performed using milk and udder spectra. In addition, measurements of fatty acids content was detected as possible. It was not previously known that individual fatty acids content can be determined based on the near infrared spectra and water-fatty acids interactions. The research period resulted in several review papers, original scientific articles and book chapters which presented aquaphotomics principles, aquaphotomics analytical methodology as well as original scientific findings resulted while fellow was working on given assignments which are expected to be published in near future. The collaboration was continued after the fellow completed the fellowship.
