Staphylococci are the main aetiological agents of small ruminants intramammary infections
(IMI), the more frequent isolates being S. aureus in clinical cases and coagulase negative …

The aim of this review was to focus on the physiological aspects of milk somatic cell count
(SCC) in small ruminants (SM). The SCC is an important component naturally present in milk …

In small ruminants, the secretion of oxytocin following stimulation of the mammary gland is
necessary for complete removal of milk during suckling and during machine milking. The …

Small ruminants not only differ on mammary gland anatomy, milk's properties and the
amount of milk yielded comparable to those of dairy cattle, but also on the milking routine …

Milking machine design and performance are directly related to the milkability of sheep and
goats, with the aim of milking quickly, completely and gently. This leads to an increase in the …

The effect of vacuum level and pulsation rate on machine milking efficiency in lactating
dromedary camels were studied in 2 separate experiments. In the first experiment, a total of …

Simple Summary In recent years, several studies have been carried out to optimize milking
efficiency in Murciano-Granadina goats, but to our knowledge there are no experiments …

Milking routine and settings of milking machine are crucial factors in influencing milk
production, milking labour and teat condition. The aim of the study was to evaluate if different …

A random sample of 40 goats was used to study the partitioning, yield and composition of
milk: 8 of Saanen breed (S), 8 of Damascus breed (D), 8 crossbreds Saanen× Local Greek …

The aim of this work was to determine the effect of vacuum level of machine milking on milk
yield, milk composition, milking efficiency, somatic cells counts (SCC), and teat end …
