Classification of potential sheep heat-stress levels according to the prevailing meteorological conditions
(2015)Many researchers have found that physiology, welfare, health, and productivity of ruminants are significantly affected when they are exposed to heat-stress conditions. In such cases, heat-stress may also cause a reduction ... -
Clinical, ultrasonographic, bacteriological, cytological and histological findings during uterine involution in ewes with pregnancy toxaemia and subsequent reproductive efficiency
(2020)Objectives were to evaluate characteristics of uterine involution in ewes with pregnancy toxaemia during gestation and to study effects on subsequent reproductive performance. Pregnancy toxaemia was induced in ewes (A) by ... -
Comparative evaluation of metallic skin staples or polypropylene sutures for primary closure of teat wounds in sheep
(2019)Aims: To compare stainless steel staples and polypropylene suture material for primary closure of wounds after teat amputation in ewes and to assess progress of healing in the presence or absence of intramammary infection ... -
A comparative study of the ovine haemogram: Cell-DYN 3500 versus manual methods
(2013)Manual hematology techniques traditionally applied in farm animal medicine are time consuming and labor-intensive, especially when large numbers of samples have to be processed. As a result, several automated hematology ... -
Comparison between the urine dipstick and the pH-meter to assess urine pH in sheep and dogs
(2018)Background: Urine pH is an integral part of a complete urinalysis, and is commonly measured in veterinary practice using semiquantitative reagent strips. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the urine pH of dogs ... -
Comparison of biuret and refractometry methods for the serum total proteins measurement in ruminants
(2017)Background: Determination of serum total protein concentration is commonly performed by the biuret method. Refractometric measurement is a faster and less expensive alternative but its accuracy has not been determined in ... -
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 ... -
Development of models to assess potential sheep heat-stress during heat waves
(2013)It is well documented that heat-stress burdens sheep welfare and productivity. It is expected that peak heat-stress levels are observed when high temperatures prevail, i.e. during heat waves. However, continuous measurements ... -
Diagnosis of clinical or subclinical mastitis in ewes
(2014)Objectives of this paper are to review (i) diagnostic methods and procedures available for clinical or subclinical mastitis in ewes and (ii) applications of these procedures in the diagnosis of mastitis. Early and correct ... -
Diagnostic investigation of cases of deaths of newborn lambs
(2010)Neonatal lamb mortality, caused either by disorders of non-infectious aetiology or by pathological conditions of microbial or parasitic aetiology, is defined as the death of newborn lambs during the first 28 days of their ... -
Diagnostic significance of behaviour changes of sheep: A selected review
(2010)Sheep welfare is the combination of subjective and objective (qualitative and quantitative) aspects of the conditions of life of animals, including health and disease, behaviour. husbandry and management; thus, it is a ... -
Differences in sheep and goats milk microbiological profile between conventional and organic farming systems in Greece
(2017)The aim of this study was to examine differences in the microbiological profile and antimicrobial resistance of bacteria isolated from milk from organic and conventional sheep and goat farms. Twenty-five organic and 25 ... -
Differential quantitative proteomics study of experimental Mannheimia haemolytica mastitis in sheep
(2019)Objective was the differential quantitative proteomics study of ovine mastitis induced by Mannheimia haemolytica; clinical, microbiological, cytological and histopathological methods were employed for confirmation and ... -
Dissemination of parasites by animal movements in small ruminant farms
(2015)The present paper discusses the spread of parasites by animal movements in small ruminant farms; it focuses in dissemination of parasitic forms that would lead to subsequent infection of sheep or goats. Systems of small ... -

The effect of repeated follicular aspiration on the onset of puberty and growth rate of winter- or autumn-born lambs
(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 ... -
Effect of storage time on the urine protein: creatinine ratio in alkaline ovine urine
(2021)The urine protein:creatinine (UPC) ratio is considered the reference method to assess proteinuria. Its diagnostic value in ovine medicine needs further elucidation. In population monitoring and/or for research purposes, ... -
Effects of dietary grape pomace supplementation on performance, carcass traits and meat quality of lambs
(2018)Background/Aim: A previous study revealed that the inclusion of grape pomace (GP) in the diet for growing lambs had beneficial effects on the redox status and fecal microbiota. Herein, we investigated the effect of GP ... -
Effects of drying-off procedure of ewes' udder in subsequent mammary infection and development of mastitis
(2013)Objective of the study was to evaluate effects of the procedure followed for udder drying-off (i.e., progressive or abrupt cessation of lactation) in subsequent mammary infection and development of mastitis. In ewes of ...
