Patterns of maternal-offspring behaviour of dairy sheep and potential association with mammary health
(2007)
Behaviour during lactation and its relationship with mammary health was investigated in 12 dairy ewes (six with single lambs and six with twins) for 42 d after lambing. Behavioural recordings were made. Samples of teat ...
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 ...
Ultrasonographic appearance of clinically healthy testicles and epididymides of rams
(2003)
The clinically healthy testicles and epididymides of 31 rams were imaged inside and outside the breeding period, by using a real time ultrasound scanner. A scanning technique based on multiple imaging planes from the caudal ...
Ovine orchitis, with special reference to orchitis associated with Arcanobacterium pyogenes
(2006)
Initially, the literature on ovine orchitis, a disorder with significant reproductive consequences, is briefly reviewed. Subsequently, the results of research work on orchitis associated with Arcanobacterium pyogenes are ...
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 ...
Bacterial flora and risk of infection of the ovine teat duct and mammary gland throughout lactation
(2007)
We collected samples of teat duct material and mammary secretion from ewes in three farms (flock A, polyparous n = 7; flock B, polyparous n = 6, primiparous n = 4; flock C, polyparous n = 4): 14 samples immediately after ...
Teat disorders predispose ewes to clinical mastitis after challenge with Mannheimia haemolytica
(2006)
In order to study the effects of sheep teat disorders on the protection of the mammary gland, we used a Mannheimia haemolytica isolate, which did not cause clinical mastitis when deposited into intact teats. In the first ...
Safety and reproductive safety of moxidectin in goats
(2004)
Various aspects of the safety of moxidectin for goats were tested in six experiments, where two pharmaceutical forms (1% injectable solution and 0.1% oral drench) of the drug were used. In experiments I and II, the drug ...
Description and validation of a novel technique to study the bacterial flora of the teat duct of ewes
(2006)
We describe a new technique that may be used for studying the bacterial flora of the teat duct in live ewes, and we present evidence regarding its accuracy, safety and repeatability. A sterile, plastic, 20 G catheter is ...
