Clinical, histopathological and therapeutic considerations in a flock of sheep with facial staphylococcal-associated dermatitis
(2007)In a flock of 290 sheep, a total of 20 ewes (6.9%) with an age range of 1.5-4 years, developed a nonpruritic dermatitis characterized by alopecia/hypotrichosis, erythema, hyperpigmentation, crusting, superficial ulcers, ... -
Exploring the assumptions underlying genetic variation in host nematode resistance (Open Access Publication)
(2008)The wide range of genetic parameter estimates for production traits and nematode resistance in sheep obtained from field studies gives rise to much speculation. Using a mathematical model describing host - parasite ... -
"Milk-drop syndrome of ewes": Investigation of the causes in dairy sheep in Greece
(2012)"Milk-drop syndrome of ewes" is defined as a pathological entity at flock level and a syndrome characterized by reduced milk yield of lactating ewes, with no clinical signs specific to a disease. Concurrent presence of the ... -
Rapid improvement of immunity to Teladorsagia circumcincta is achieved through a reduction in the demand for protein in lactating ewes
(2006)Protein supplementation can improve the resistance to parasites of periparturient ewes, as indicated by reduced nematode egg excretion and worm burdens. However, the rate at which this improvement can occur is largely ... -
Selenium, vitamin E and vitamin A blood concentrations in dairy sheep flocks with increased or low clinical mastitis incidence
(2011)Objective of the study was to evaluate the relationship between blood concentrations of selenium, vitamin E and vitamin A with the incidence of acute clinical mastitis in dairy sheep. For this purpose, 13 flocks with ... -
Teat lesions predispose to invasion of the ovine mammary gland by Mannheimia haemolytica
(2007)Teat lesions, produced in ewes by an experimental chapping procedure, were found to facilitate experimental infection with Mannheimia haemolytica, as assessed by observations on infection of the teat skin, teat duct and ...
