Effects of lamb sucking on the bacterial flora of teat duct and mammary gland of ewes

Gougoulis, D. A.; Kyriazakis, I.; Tzora, A.; Taitzoglou, I. A.; Skoufos, J.; Fthenakis, G. C. (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 ...
