Mastitis is the most important disease of dairy small ruminants affecting animal welfare, agricultural economy, and food safety. Only a few investigations on bacterial epidemiology udder infections have been performed. Aim study was to describe Italian mastitis in ruminant herds. An ad hoc electronic data collection module created by National Reference Center for Sheep Goat (C.Re.N.M.O.C). Public health veterinary laboratories Experimental Zooprophylactic Institutes (EE.ZZ.II) (n = 10) were...
Alternatives to antibiotic therapy for mastitis in ruminants are needed. We present an evaluation, two trials, of the efficacy intramammary infusion a live culture Lactococcus lactis treatment subclinical and clinical ewes.In total, 67 animals were enrolled: 19 lactating ewes (study 1), including healthy (N=6) coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS)-infected (N=13); 48 2) with either CNS (N=32), or Staphylococcus aureus (N=16), total 123 mammary glands. Intramammary infusions performed L. PBS...
Mastitis is the main cause of antibiotic use in dairy sheep. Post-milking teat disinfection adopted to prevent intra-mammary infections. Use chemical disinfectants associated with biocide and resistance. Terpinen-4-ol (T-4-ol), component Melaleuca alternifolia essential oil, shows antibacterial properties without inducing Aim trial was evaluate efficacy a T-4-ol post-dipping compound preventing bacterial mastitis In two different farms, groups 35 ewes were recruited as experimental control...
Late lactation is a critical moment for making mastitis management decisions, but in small ruminants the reliability of diagnostic tests typically lower at this stage. We evaluated somatic cell counts (SCC) and cathelicidins (CATH) late sheep goat milk their relationship with intramammary infections (IMI), as diagnosed by bacteriological culture (BC). A total 315 223 half-udder samples collected last month were included study. IMI prevalence was 10.79% 15.25%, respectively, non-aureus...
RiassuntoPerché il maggiore contenuto in plasmina peggiora la coagulabilità del latte ovino? Sono stati analizzati 448 campioni individuali di ovino prelevati da 105 pecore razza Sarda. I sono suddivisi classi rispetto al (PL). Nei con tempo coagulazione <30 min state osservate relazioni positive fra PL, NCN, SCC e pH, mentre risultate negative le PL lattosio. Il caseina non è stato influenzato dalla PL. Questo andamento osservato anche per i che hanno coagulato entro 30 minuti. parametri...
Little work has been carried out on management techniques to reduce stress of first machine milking in ewes. The aim this was evaluate the effect parlour training before weaning sheep milk yield and protein fractions. One week weaning, an experimental group (EG) introduced into hand-milked once a day, adapt them new environment noise machine, while control (CG) day traditional fold until weaning. After both groups were milked, separately, twice parlour. Milk nitrogen fractions recorded for...
