The objective of this review was to explore the relationship between lactational performance
and health. We focused on lactational incidence rates (LIR) of the production diseases that …

Intramammary infections (IMI) in goats constitute an enormous animal health problem, alter
milk composition, lower the hygienic value of milk, impair the processing properties of milk …

Buffaloes are the second largest source of milk. Mastitis is a major impediment for milk
production, but not much information is available about bubaline mastitis, especially …

Abstract The California Mastitis Test (CMT) has been used to estimate total somatic cell
count (SCC) levels in milk; however, milk with similar SCC levels occasionally shows …

Changes in inflammatory parameters, leukocyte surface markers, functional responses and
cytokine mRNA expression of leukocytes of dairy cows with naturally occurring chronic …

Intrauterine fluid (IUF) was collected using a tampon from mid-oestrous mares (n= 57) with
and without ultrasonically detectable accumulations of free intraluminal fluid. Bacteria were …

At present the analysis of somatic cell count (SCC) used for the detection of intramammary
infections (IMI) in bovine milk is also recommended for goat milk, but due to the various …

Two milk glycosidases [N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase (NAGase) and β-glucuronidase] have
previously been associated with elevated somatic cell count (SCC). However, several other …

Activity of the enzyme β-glucuronidase (EC 3.2. 1.31) is found in milk from ruminants with
mastitis. However, the use of this enzymic activity as an indicator of mastitis has gained little …

Milk antitrypsin and NAGase content, CMT scores and bacterial growth in lactoserum were
investigated in 423 clinically infected quarters in 268 cows. 26.7% of the affected quarters …
