Experimentally induced teat stenosis in dairy ewes: Clinical, pathological and ultrasonographic features
(2004)
A strain of Staphylococcus chromogenes was introduced into the teat cistern of five ewes, teat inflammation and stenosis being the primary consequences. Initially, the inoculated teats were swollen and warm; later, a hard ...
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 ...
Supplementation of lactating ewes with a glucogenic preparation or beta-carotene in mid- to late lactation on subsequent milk yield and luteinizing hormone secretion
(2007)
The effects of a glucogenic preparation (Nutrimix((R))) or beta-carotene (Rovimix((R)) beta carotene) supplementation of ewes during mid- to late-lactation on their milk yield were assessed in a study where 66 Chios-breed ...
"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 ...
Evaluation of the FAMACHA (c) system for targeted selective anthelmintic treatments for potential use in small ruminants in Greece
(2013)
The FAMACHA (c) system is a practical on-farm method, which can be used to identify small ruminants in need of anthelmintic treatment, depending on the colour of the lower eyelid mucous membrane, which reflects level of ...
Interactions between nutritional approaches and defences against microbial diseases in small ruminants
(2015)
Objective of this review is to discuss the role of small ruminant diet in the defence of these animals against microbial diseases, in relation to different experimental approaches and various stressors acting on animals. ...
Principles of Mastitis Treatment in Sheep and Goats
(2011)
This article indicates the principles for treatment of mastitis in ewes/does and explains the reasons why treatment may occasionally fail. It presents the principles for administration of antimicrobial agents at drying off ...
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 ...
Comparison of fluorescence polarization assay, indirect ELISA and competitive ELISA methods for diagnosis of Brucella melitensis-infection in small ruminants
(2004)
Three serological tests, the fluorescence-polarization assay (FPA), the indirect ELISA (iELISA) and the competitive ELISA (cELISA), were compared in detecting Brucella melitensis antibodies in 454 serum samples from sheep ...
