Morphometric parameters of the umbilical cord and placentomes and Doppler indices of the umbilical artery through ultrasonographic analysis in pregnant sheep
Publication date: Available online 31 December 2019Source: Small Ruminant ResearchAuthor(s): Stankiewicz Tomasz, Błaszczyk Barbara, Udała Jan, Chundekkad PavitraAbstractThe aim of this study was to perform ultrasound analysis and obtain measurements of the placentomes, umbilical cord and umbilical vessels during the period of pregnancy, in sheep. Doppler indices in the umbilical artery were also examined and the relationship between these indices, along with biometric measurements of the placentomes and the umbilical cord were determined. The study was carried out on 15 Suffolk sheep, and no sedatives were administered o...

Effect of subclinical mastitis on the yield and cheese-making properties of ewe’s milk
Publication date: Available online 28 December 2019Source: Small Ruminant ResearchAuthor(s): Ana Martí-De Olives, Cristòfol Peris, Maria Pilar MolinaAbstractThis review covers an update of scientific knowledge about productive and technological consequences of subclinical mastitis in sheep milk. The literature reports individual milk yield losses of 2.6 to 43.1 %, being modulated by several factors as infection severity, production level, causal agents, and unilateral or bilateral IMI (1 or 2 infected glands, respectively). A compensatory increase of milk production from the uninfected gland when only one half was infect...
