Trematode infections in pregnant ewes can predispose to mastitis during the subsequent lactation period
(2014)
Objective was to investigate if trematode infections predispose ewes to mastitis and/or metritis. We used 80 trematode-infected ewes: primigravidae in group P-A and multigravidae in M-A remained untreated, primigravidae ...
Administration of antibiotics to ewes at the beginning of the dry- period
(2014)
The objective of the present paper is to review the significance of administration of antibiotics at the end of a lactation period/beginning of the dry-period in ewes. During the stage of active involution, there is an ...
Consequences of reduced vitamin A administration on mammary health of dairy ewes
(2013)
The study was carried out in Mytilene breed dairy ewes, which were allocated into two groups, 2 months before their first mating. All animals were given a diet based on dried alfalfa hay and concentrate compound feed with ...
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 findings in the ovine udder during involution
(2014)
The objective of the study was to record, by means of ultrasonographic examination, changes occurring in the udder of ewes during involution and to compare differences between progressive or abrupt udder drying-off. In ...
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 ...
Presence of subepithelial lymphoid nodules in the teat of ewes
(2007)
A total of 87 clinically healthy ovine teats were examined bacteriologically (by scraping the mucosa) and histologically. Teats examined were those of lactating mammary glands with no bacteria isolated (n = 23); of mammary ...
Presence of sub-epithelial lymphoid tissues in the teat of ewe-lambs and adult ewes
(2007)
In the first part of the study, 24 clinically healthy teats from non-lactating ewe-lambs were examined bacteriologically and histologically. No bacteria were isolated from any of these teats; lymphocytes were observed in ...
