The aim of this study was to analyse the effect intramammary infection (IMI) on N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAGase) enzyme values and its predictive capacity using different algorithms. To do this, 26 sheep free were selected, their somatic cell count (SCC), NAGase bacteriological culture monitored for 2 weeks. They then subjected a series unhealthy situations (UHS) mammary gland, these variables further 4 IMI established in 12 sheep. In days following infection, very marked increase...

In Manchega sheep, correlations between temperatures across various body regions, including the udder, under differing environmental conditions, stages of lactation, and states mammary gland health have not been extensively explored. To address this, a group 108 sheep was evaluated monthly over period six months. Ambient, rectal, lacrimal, perianal, udder surface temperatures, alongside status indicators such as somatic cell count (SCC) microbiological milk culture, were recorded. This study...

ABSTRACT Boar spermatozoa are highly susceptible to oxidative damage due their high content of unsaturated fatty acids, which prone disruption by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Excessive ROS can induce lipid peroxidation, DNA fragmentation and impaired enzyme activity, ultimately reducing sperm quality reproductive performance. Wine grape pomace (WGP), a by‐product the winemaking process, is rich in polyphenols, including flavonoids (anthocyanins quercetin), stilbenes (resveratrol) tannins,...

Wastes from artichoke and broccoli crops cannery industries represent an environmental problem. A viable option to this problem is ensiling them for use as ruminants feed. The aim of study was characterise the process by-products assess their suitability be part ruminant diet, well minimum shelf life. Twenty-one commercial round bale silos (300 kg 0.64 m3) each by-product were made. Samples analysed at days 0, 7, 15, 30, 60, 200 determine microbial populations, fermentation metabolites,...

Large amount of vegetal by-products are generated during production and processing steps. Introducing silage from vegetable into dairy goat feed would be great interest the point view reducing costs supporting circular economy. The aim this research was to study effect 40% inclusion broccoli artichoke plant in diet Murciano-Granadina goats throughout lactation establish milk suitability for fermented milks production. novelty is use fed a long term with high silages by-products, being first...

The aim of this work was to study the effect on teat wall thickness and canal length in sheep goats overmilking for 2 min (OM+2) milking with used (AL; +3000 milkings) twisted (TL; 45°) liners goats, as well designed (SL, shorter diameter than goats). To end, we performed four experiments three sheep, a Latin square design two experimental periods. During period 4 controls were carried out, performing ultrasound scans before immediately after determine (TWT), area (TWA), end (TEWA) (TCL)....

Artichoke by-products represent a high amount of waste whose removal entails several costs. Moreover, feed is the main cost in farm. So, including these ruminant diets would lower Two experiments were conducted to evaluate effect two levels inclusion, 12.5% and 25.0%, silages artichoke (artichoke bracts, AB plant, AP) diet goats on milk yield, composition quality metabolic profile animals. presented lowest blood urea content there no differences yield experiments. However, with 25.0% silage...

Traditional farming practices include the use of local agricultural by-products in diet ruminants. Artichoke harvesting and transformation yield high amounts that, if properly used, may reduce costs environmental impact farming. The present study tests inclusion silages from artichoke (plant outer bracts) dairy goats (0%, 12.5% 25% inclusion) on technological sensory properties milk during a five-month study. Milk composition, color, stability, coagulation fermentation remained unaffected by...

The aim of this experiment was to study the effects a 40% inclusion broccoli by-product (BB) and artichoke plant (AP) silages in dairy goat diets on milk yield, composition animal health status during full lactation. Feed consumption lower AP BB animals due their higher moisture content, showed significant reduction body weight. Milk from treatment had highest fat total solids useful dry matter content (5.02, 13.9 8.39%, respectively). Se level slightly animals; however, these treatments...

In the Mediterranean region, artichoke and broccoli are major crops with a high amount of by-products that can be used as alternative feedstuffs for ruminants, lowering feed costs enhancing milk sustainability while reducing environmental impact dairy production. However, nutritional quality needs to assured under these production conditions an optimal inclusion ratio silages should determined. This work aimed evaluate effect three levels (25%, 40%, 60%) (artichoke plant, AP, by-product, BB)...

The study of new indirect methods for mastitis detection is great relevance both at the economic level farm and dairies, in terms consumer health, animal welfare. These help us to monitor disease speed up decision-making process on treatment affected destination milk. main aim this work was effect intramammary infection (IMI) other non-infectious factors activity enzyme N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAGase) milk, order evaluate its use as an indicator early diagnosis sheep that could be less...
