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 …

This manuscript reviews the most recent knowledge about small ruminant mastitis, pointing
out the etiological, epidemiological and control aspects of mastitis. The prevalence of …

The lactation (or annual) incidence of clinical mastitis in the ewe is generally lower than 5%,
while the prevalence of subclinical mastitis is variable and ranges from less than 10 to 50 …

The mechanism of the effects of glandular-level subclinical mastitis in dairy sheep on milk
yield and on its composition as expressed in curd yield was studied. Thirty-six Israeli-Assaf …

Milk somatic cell counts are the basis of mastitis and milk quality control programs. Milk
somatic cell counts for goats, in which neutrophils comprise the main cell type, are higher …

The present study aimed to identify the pathogens that cause subclinical udder infections in
Israeli dairy sheep and evaluate their influence on milk yield and composition. Eight …

Copy number variation (CNV) is a major source of genomic structural variation. The aim of
this study was to detect genomic CNV regions (CNVR) in Valle del Belice dairy sheep …

The aim of this work was to quantify, on a half-udder basis, the changes in ewe milk yield
and composition caused by unilateral subclinical mastitis within the current lactation …

The study was aimed at identifying the pathogens causing subclinical udder infections in
representative Israeli dairy goat herds and determining their effect on milk quality. Five …

In four flocks, 215 dairy ewes were monthly sampled, throughout lactation, in order to study
the relationship between subclinical intramammary infections (IMI) and milk individual SCC …
