This investigation evaluated the efficacy of a bacterin in reducing the prevalence of staphylococcal mastitis and somatic cell counts (SCC) in a dairy goat herd. Does were vaccinated or left as controls, and the levels of mastitis and SCC monitored over 18 months. Staphylococcus caprae (42.5%), S. xylosus (15.1%), and S. simulans (10.0%) were the predominant causes of intramammary infections (I...

This study investigated the effects of five levels of galanin on plasma concentrations of growth hormone, triiodothyronine, thyroxine, and milk protein in dairy goat breed was sannan. 15 breeds of dairy goats sannan all about the same age and weight were selected for this study and were randomly divided into five treatments (three replicates per treatment). Levels of the hormone injection of ga...

Background: The word hydroponics derivated from the Greek words; hydro (water), ponos (work). Sprouting of grains for a limited period causes increased activities hydrolytic enzymes, improvement in contents certain essential amino acids, total sugars and B-group vitamins decrease dry matter, starch anti-nutrients. In India, research work has been done on feeding value hydroponic horse gram spro...

Respiratory infections which commonly occur in sheep and goats often result from adverse physical and physiological stress combined with viral and bacterial infections. Inevitably, Pasteurella haemolytica pneumonia occurs as a result of these interactions. In this review, we present recent advances in research on the complex etiology of pneumonia involving P. haemolytica. Initially stress, indu...

Following a severe outbreak of clinical scrapie in 2006-2007, a large dairy goat herd was culled and 200 animals were selected for post-mortem examinations in order to ascertain the prevalence of infection, the effect of age, breed and PRNP genotype on the susceptibility to scrapie, the tissue distribution of diseaseassociated PrP (PrP(d)), and the comparative efficiency of different diagnostic...
