Abortion in ewes associated with Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae
(2006)We describe the features of an outbreak of ovine abortions caused by Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae in a flock of sheep in Greece. Abortion occurred in 3.5% of ewes in the flock; the foetuses were well developed and had ... -
Administration of a long-acting antiparasitic to pre-pubertal ewe-lambs in Greece results in earlier reproductive activity and improved reproductive performance
(2011)We studied the reproductive effects of administration of a long-acting antiparasitic (moxidectin) given to pre-pubertal ewe-lambs in Greece at the beginning of the reproductive season. 45 animals, naturally infected with ... -
Adverse outcome of using tilmicosin in a lamb with multiple ventricular septal defects
(2009)A 15-day-old, 6.08 kg, lamb was injected Subcutaneously with tilmicosin 15 mg/kg body weight. Approximately 15 min later, the lamb died. During necropsy, the heart was found to have multiple ventricular septal defects. ... -
ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION OF SMALL RUMINANTS - A REVIEW
(2012)Artificial insemination (AI) can undoubtedly be regarded as the oldest and most widely used assisted reproductive technique/technology (ART) applied in livestock production and it is one of the most important ARTs. The ... -
Atypical PrPsc distribution in goats naturally affected with scrapie
(2008)The brain and spinal cord of 48 goats from two Greek herds in which scrapie had been reported were examined. All animals were symptomless at the time Of euthanasia. Notably, no lesions were observed either at the level of ... -
A case of bilateral auricular haematoma in a ewe-lamb with sarcoptic mange
(2013)A Lacaune ewe-lamb was referred with bilateral pinnal swelling and intense head-shaking. Soft, fluid-filled, painless swellings were present on the concave surface of both ear pinnae. Needle aspiration revealed sero-sanguineous ... -
Clinical, bacteriological, cytological and pathological features of teat disorders in ewes
(2007)We describe the features of 13 cases of teat disorders in ewes, as follows: lengthy teats (one case), papilloma infection (two), staphylococcal dermatitis (one), nodules and abscesses (two), teat bites (three), stenosis ... -
Comparison of fluorescence polarization assay, indirect ELISA and competitive ELISA methods for diagnosis of Brucella melitensis-infection in small ruminants
(2004)Three serological tests, the fluorescence-polarization assay (FPA), the indirect ELISA (iELISA) and the competitive ELISA (cELISA), were compared in detecting Brucella melitensis antibodies in 454 serum samples from sheep ... -
Control of liver abscesses in lambs by using marbofloxacin
(2012)We describe cases of liver abscesses in a group of newborn lambs. Diagnosis was based on the combination of clinical signs with the findings of ultrasonographic examination of the abdomen: oval, hypoechoic structure with ... -
Diagnostic investigation of cases of deaths of newborn lambs
(2010)Neonatal lamb mortality, caused either by disorders of non-infectious aetiology or by pathological conditions of microbial or parasitic aetiology, is defined as the death of newborn lambs during the first 28 days of their ... -
The effect of chicory (Cichorium intybus) and sulla (Hedysarum coronarium) on larval development and mucosal cell responses of growing lambs challenged with Teladorsagia circumcincta
(2006)The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of grazing different bioactive forages on acquired immunity against Teladorsagia circumcinta infection. The development of immunity was assessed by following the response ... -
The effect of experimentally induced subclinical mastitis on the milk yield of dairy ewes
(1999)In each of the two experiments, subclinical mastitis was induced by inoculating both mammary glands of Karagouniko and of Chios-cross ewes with a Staphylococcus epidermidis. After inoculation, the somatic cell counts of ... -
The effect of repeated follicular aspiration on the onset of puberty and growth rate of winter- or autumn-born lambs
(2009)The effects of follicular aspiration for oocyte retrieval on the attainment of puberty and growth rate were studied in winter-born (9 treated and 6 control) and autumn-born (5 treated and 5 control) ewe lambs. In the treated ... -
The effects of changes in nutritional demand on gastrointestinal parasitism in lactating rats
(2007)Lactating rats experience a breakdown of immunity to parasites, i.e. they carry larger worm burdens after re-infection compared to their non-lactating counterparts. Feeding high-protein foods to lactating rats results in ... -
Effects of drying-off procedure of ewes' udder in subsequent mammary infection and development of mastitis
(2013)Objective of the study was to evaluate effects of the procedure followed for udder drying-off (i.e., progressive or abrupt cessation of lactation) in subsequent mammary infection and development of mastitis. In ewes of ... -
Effects of drying-off procedure of ewes' udder, with intramammary antibiotic administration, in subsequent mammary infection and development of mastitis
(2012)Objective of the study was to evaluate effects of the procedure followed for drying-off of ewes' udder in subsequent mammary infection and development of mastitis, in an experiment, where intramammary antibiotic administration ... -
Effects of experimental challenge of ewes with Mannheimia haemolytica on subsequent milk composition
(2008)The objective was to describe the physicochemical changes during the early phase of subclinical mastitis and to associate them with pathological findings. A Mannheimia haemolytica strain was deposited into one teat duct ... -
The effects of inoculation of Mannheimia haemolytica into the teat of lactating ewes
(2005)The objectives of the work described in this paper were: (i) to study the outcome of challenging ewes with Mannheimia haemolytica, at different sites of their teats, (ii) to compare the effects of two different isolates ... -
Effects of lamb sucking on the bacterial flora of teat duct and mammary gland of ewes
(2008)We aimed (i) to determine differences in bacterial flora of teat duct and mammary gland of ewes before and after suckling, (ii) to evaluate factors potentially affecting those. We collected samples of teat duct material ... -
