    Working capital,as an important source for the daily operation of enterprises,runs through all links such as procurement, production, and sales,and is a key factor in promoting the smooth operation of enterprises. However,the limitations of merely examining working capital management from the perspective of its constituent elements have gradually emerged. Therefore, adopting a dual perspective of "elements + channels" to analyze working capital management not only provides a deeper insight into its internal mechanisms but also effectively promotes the improvement of management efficiency in enterprises. Currently, the management of working capital in the dairy industry faces challenges and bottlenecks. This analytical strategy can more accurately identify the problems in the management of working capital in various channels, formulate more efficient and targeted management strategies, and promote the comprehensive upgrading and optimization of working capital management in dairy enterprises.

    [Objective] This paper discussed the application of enzymatic oat flour in dairy products, especially its importance in regulating digestion and optimizing dairy product technology through dietary fiber. Enzymatic oat flour has attracted attention for its improved solubility, nutritional value, and dietary fiber health benefits (such as regulating blood sugar, lowering cholesterol, and promoting intestinal health). However, the application of enzymatic oat flour is limited by solubility and emulsification, which affects the product's taste and stability. [Method] This study aimed to find the optimal process route by comparing three different ingredient processes (different combinations of ingredient temperature and time), optimize the solubility and emulsification effect of oat flour, and improve the stability and flavor of dairy products. [Result] The test results showed that the process route C with a batching temperature of 65 °C and a time of 45 minutes had the best solubility, emulsification effect, product stability, and flavor performance.This indicated that suitable high temperatures combined with longer periods of time can fully activate the functionality of dietary fiber and emulsifier A in oat flour, producing stable and flavorful dairy products. [Conclusion] It is recommended to apply process route C to the dairy industry to produce healthy and delicious products, further study the application effect of this process in different dairy products, and consider the economic and sustainability of the process. In addition, given the constant pursuit of healthy and nutritious products by consumers, future process optimization should further increase the content of functional ingredients in dairy products to enhance the health benefits of the products.

[Method] The effects of different inoculum preparation methods(centrifugation-washing and consumption),McFarland turbidity of inoculum(0.5 MCF,1.0 MCF,1.5 MCF),culture time(22 h,32 h,40 h)on the growth standard curve of Lactobacillus rhamnosus were analyzed,and the folic acid content measured by the standard reference material(SRM 1869)was combined to optimize the test conditions. SRM 1869,QC-IP-737 and 20 commercial milk powder were treated with sodium hydroxide ethanol solution by ultrasound and water bath, respectively. The determination results of folic acid content were compared,and t-test was conducted at 95% confidence level to analyze the differences between the two pretreatment methods. [Result] The results showed that under the same McFarland turbidity,the inoculum prepared by centrifugation-washing was better than consumption, and adjusting the McFarland turbidity to 1.0 MCF and incubating at 36 ℃ for 40 h was recommended. At 95% confidence level,the P-values of the t-test results of SRM 1869,QC-IP-737 and 20 commercial milk powder were > 0.05,indicating that the two pretreatment methods had no significant difference in the influence of the determination results. [Conclusion] This study optimized the preparation method of inoculum,refined the culture time and the pretreatment method of milk powder in GB 5009.211-2022. The established microtiter plate microbiological method could provide data support for the subsequent revision of national standards. The optimized experimental conditions could provide scientific reference for other laboratories to carry out this work.

    [Objective] To study the effects of dietary extract of dysentery on serum antioxidant indexes and intestinal tissue morphology of aborted cows induced by neosporidiosis. [Method] A total of 168 aborted cows with similar age, parity and average milk yield in a large-scale farm were selected as the study objects, and the cows were divided into 4 groups using a single factor randomized trial design. They were divided into control group (basic diet), observation group I (basic diet +200 g/t dysentery extract), observation group II (basic diet +400 g/t dysentery extract) and observation group III (basic diet +600 g/t dysentery extract). Each group was set with 6 replicates and 7 heads per replicate. The pre-test lasted for 7 days and the formal test lasted for 35 days. The changes of serum antioxidant indexes and intestinal tissue morphology of cows in each group were analyzed after the experiment. [Result] Compared with the control group, T-AOC, T-SOD and GSH-Px in observation group I, observation group II and observation group III were significantly increased (P<0.05), and the highest values were found in observation group II, while there was no difference between observation group I and observation group III (P>0.05). MDA in control group was higher than that in other experimental groups, and observation group I was higher than that in observation group II and observation group III(P<0.05). There was no difference in CAT among all groups (P>0.05). The number of Escherichia coli and Salmonella in control group was higher than that in observation group I, observation Group II and observation group III, and the number of lactic acid bacteria was lower than that in experimental groups (P<0.05), and the number of Escherichia coli and Salmonella in observation group II and observation group III was lower than that in observation group I, and the number of lactic acid bacteria was higher than that in observation group I(P<0.05). [Conclusion] Incorporating dysentery extract into the basic diet of cows that have aborted due to neosporidiosis has been shown to enhance their immune function, improve antioxidant capacity, and help maintain intestinal homeostasis. Based on the experimental findings, economic considerations, and other relevant factors, it is advisable to include dysentery extract in the diet at a rate of 400 g/t.
