Bacteriological and epidemiological findings during examination of the uterine content of ewes with retention of fetal membranes
(2002)
We included 92 pairs of ewes with or without retention of fetal membranes in a cohort study of 25 flocks in Southern Greece. We obtained two uterine content samples under aseptic conditions, by introducing a swab into the ...
Progesterone concentration as an indicator of ovarian response to superovulation in Chios ewes
(2002)
We investigated the prediction of the ovarian response to superovulation using progesterone (P-4) determination in Chios ewes. During the estrus period, estrus synchronization and multiple ovulations were induced in 100 ...
Post-Partum Involution of the Canine Uterus - Gross Anatomical and Histological Features
(2009)
We aimed to study the normal puerperium in the bitch. Ovariohysterectomy was performed in nine bitches, each at a different day after normal whelping; their genital tract was subject to gross anatomical examination, as ...
The effects of the periodical use of in-feed chlortetracycline on the reproductive performance of gilts and sows of a commercial pig farm with a history of clinical and subclinical viral and bacterial infections
(2003)
The objective of this study was to assess the effects of in-feed chlortetracycline (CTC) as a measure of preventing or minimizing infectious problems of reproductive failure in gilts and sows. In a farm of 400 Large White ...
Management of pre-pubertal small ruminants: Physiological basis and clinical approach
(2012)
Puberty is a gradual process, during which animal reproductive competence is attained with respect to physiology, morphology and behaviour. Onset of puberty in small ruminants differs between sexes, due to early sexual ...
Endocrinological profile and follicular development in cyclic ewes subjected to repeated ovum pick-up
(2013)
Blood concentrations of progesterone, FSH and oestradiol in Karagouniko ewes subjected to laparoscopic ovum pick-up (OPU) at specific stages of induced oestrous cycle, were measured. Twenty-four cyclic ewes were randomly ...
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 ...
