Welfare
Is subclinical mastitis of concern to the small ruminant industry?
Zoonosis agents* brucellosis* tuberculosis

Milk quantity?Yield of milk, fat, total proteins,
casein and curd
Milk quality?Internal bacterial contamination,
somatic cell count, secreted enzymes
Economic question
![Page 5: Subclinical mastitis in small ruminants: prevalence, …old.eaap.org/Previous_Annual_Meetings/2012Bratislava/Papers/... · o routine measurement ... goats with intrammamary ... course](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022022422/5a954a387f8b9ad96f8c6533/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Subclinical mammary infectionis an economical question
In most herds most of the time the proportion of infected animals
is unknown

* Loss of yield, quality
Aim: to calculate the loss of milk and cheese as related to the level of subclinical udder infection in a herd.
To clarify the major factors that influence milk yield and, consequently, curd yield in Assaf sheep and Saanen and Shami × Anglo-Nubian goats.

Sheep and goats were considered infected onlyif the same bacteria was isolated and SCCwas high (> 106) in three consecutive samples
Most udder-halves infected with CNS had a normal morphology, similar to the contra-lateraluninfected gland

* Milk yield was measured separately for each udder-half
* Milk tested for: bacteriology, SCC, protein, fat, lactose
* Skim milk was analyzed for: casein, whey protein, albumin, proteose-peptone, and activities of Plasmin, Plasminogen activator and Plasminogen, ionized calcium(Ca2+) and calcium activity (aCa2+)
* Curd yield and Rennet clotting time
