The trial was carried out in a sheep flock with mixed Mannheimia haemolytica/Mycoplasma spp. respiratory infection; 60 lambs were included therein and allocated as follows: lambs in group MH were subcutaneously injected ...

Use of lincomycin to control respiratory infections in lambs: Effects on health and production

Skoufos, J.; Mavrogianni, V. S.; Tzora, A.; Mavrommatis, I.; Alexopoulos, C.; Fthenakis, G. C. (2006)

The efficacy of lincomycin to control respiratory infections in lambs was assessed in two trials. In trial 1, 72 lambs with active mycoplasmal pneumonia were allocated as follows: lambs in group T2 were treated with ...

Control of liver abscesses in lambs by using marbofloxacin

Orfanou, D. C.; Fragkou, I. A.; Fthenakis, G. C.; Mavrogianni, V. S. (2012)

We describe cases of liver abscesses in a group of newborn lambs. Diagnosis was based on the combination of clinical signs with the findings of ultrasonographic examination of the abdomen: oval, hypoechoic structure with ...

The effect of repeated follicular aspiration on the onset of puberty and growth rate of winter- or autumn-born lambs

Valasi, I.; Fthenakis, G. C.; Prassinos, N. N.; Menegatos, I.; Grigoropoulou, V.; Deligiannis, C.; Vainas, E.; Amiridis, G. S. (2009)

The effects of follicular aspiration for oocyte retrieval on the attainment of puberty and growth rate were studied in winter-born (9 treated and 6 control) and autumn-born (5 treated and 5 control) ewe lambs. In the treated ...

Progesterone concentration as an indicator of ovarian response to superovulation in Chios ewes

Amiridis, G. S.; Rekkas, C. A.; Fthenakis, G. C.; Vainas, E.; Lymberopoulos, A.; Christodoulou, V.; Belibasaki, S. (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 ...

A case of bilateral auricular haematoma in a ewe-lamb with sarcoptic mange

Tsioli, V.; Farmaki, R.; Papastefanou, A.; Galatos, A. D.; Marinou, M.; Tontis, D.; Mavrogianni, V. S.; Doukas, D.; Saridomichelakis, M. N.; Fthenakis, G. C. (2013)

A Lacaune ewe-lamb was referred with bilateral pinnal swelling and intense head-shaking. Soft, fluid-filled, painless swellings were present on the concave surface of both ear pinnae. Needle aspiration revealed sero-sanguineous ...

The effect of experimentally induced subclinical mastitis on the milk yield of dairy ewes

Saratsis, P.; Alexopoulos, C.; Tzora, A.; Fthenakis, G. C. (1999)

In each of the two experiments, subclinical mastitis was induced by inoculating both mammary glands of Karagouniko and of Chios-cross ewes with a Staphylococcus epidermidis. After inoculation, the somatic cell counts of ...

Treatment and Control of Peri-Parturient Metabolic Diseases: Pregnancy Toxemia, Hypocalcemia, Hypomagnesemia

Brozos, C.; Mavrogianni, V. S.; Fthenakis, G. C. (2011)

The paper reviews treatment and control of pregnancy toxaemia, hypocalcaemia, hypomagnesaemia, the important peri-parturient diseases of small ruminants. Treatment of pregnancy toxemia benefits from early instigation, ie, ...

Supplementation of lactating ewes with a glucogenic preparation or beta-carotene in mid- to late lactation on subsequent milk yield and luteinizing hormone secretion

Brozos, C. N.; Kiossis, E.; Fthenakis, G. C.; Tsousis, G.; Boscos, C. (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 ...
