The value of electric conductivity (EC), California Milk Cell Test (CMCT) and somatic cell count (SCC) as diagnostic tools was investigated in dairy goats. Conductivity colour reading correlated with SCC. Milk samples with conductivity colour red had significantly higher SCC than those with conductivity colours green and orange (P < 0.001). There were moderate positive correlations between CMCT...

Occurrence of milk ejection and course of milk removal were investigated in 18 dairy cows at milking intervals of 4, 8 and 12 h in early, mid or late lactation. Milk ejection occurred fastest in early lactation at a milking interval of 12 h and was delayed at short milking intervals and in late lactation. Storage capacity of the udder was estimated and the actual milk yields of experimental mil...

an anatomic study on ovine hoof to find a proper hoof trimming method was done. fore and hindlimbs of 15, two years old ewes. were studied all legs were transferred to vet college and divided by fore and hindlimbs, left and right and lateral and medial digits. toe height to ground and to the solar surface, heel height, sole length, toe length, toe length to the sensitive tissue, sole thickness ...

Of all the five Scandinavian countries, with about 300 oerculosis institutions, there is only one special ?Ournal and even this is not written in a Scandinavian j^uage, but in English, French, and German. In fua with under twenty-five tuberculosis institutions nle, need for a tuberculosis journal is certainly not in?tk 10US'" and one cannot ...

INTRODUCTION Over the recent decades various marker­based video capture systems have been developed in order to estimate segment kinematics in biomechanics applications. It may not be a disproportionate statement to claim that this method is regarded as the gold standard in laboratory based settings. Inherent problems to these systems include adequate marker placement, skin movement artefacts a...

Microprobes are used to repair neuronal injury by recording electrical signals from neuronal cells around the sur‐ face of the device. Following implantation into the brain, the immune response results in formation of scar tissue around the microprobe. However, neurons must be in close proximity to the microprobe to enable signal recording. A common reason for failure of microprobes is impaired...

We hypothesized that accumulation of milk would influence gene expression in the mammary gland of lactating dairy cows. To test this hypothesis, we enrolled 4 multiparous Holstein cows (150 ± 10 DIM) in a half-udder milk stasis experiment. On d 1 of the experiment, right udder halves were milked at 0430 h and 1430 h. On d 2 of the experiment, right udder halves were milked at 0430 h and mammary...
