The objective of this study was to compare periparturient serum Ca dynamics (CaDyn) in cows with and without diseases in early lactation. The study enrolled 1,949 cows from a commercial dairy farm in northern Germany. Blood samples were drawn 7 d before expected calving date and on d 0, 1, 3, and 7 ...

In general, bacterial pathogens are the focus of mastitis studies. Symptoms of mastitis may be absent in cases of viral infection, because other clinical symptoms are more dominant. Subclinical mastitis cases cannot be generally diagnosed and as a consequence, they are not investigated very well....

The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of subclinical mastitis on some indicators of inflammation in milk, and their correlation with somatic cell count (SCC) in cattle. A total of 20 lactating cows positive for subclinical mastitis and equal number of cows negative for...

There is increasing evidence to suggest that, in addition to their regenerative effect, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), and their secretome have an anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial role in the innate immune response in conditions such as sepsis. However, there is no published information on...

Mastitis is positioned as the most vital ailment in dairy cows in light of conventional cost examinations. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of different acute phase proteins (APPs), pro-inflammatory cytokines, and oxidative stress biomarkers in healthy cows and in...

Mastitis caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli) is one of the most common causes of environmental mastitis in dairy cows, which can impact on the milk quality. In this randomized clinical trial, dairy cattle with naturally acquired acute E. coli mastitis (between January 2014 and December 2016, n =...

Background: In cows with acute toxic mastitis (ATM), the leukogram aids in the assessment of the severity of disease. The goal of our study was to compare the leukogram of 158 cows with ATM (cases) and 168 clinically healthy cows (controls). We hypothesised that the leukograms of surviving and...

Besides reproduction management, one of the important roles of farmers is to control the incidence of diseases during the lactation in dairy herds, especially mastitis. The aim of the study was to evaluate the occurrence of mastitis and its impact on production and fertility indicators in dairy ...

Saliva contains a variety of compounds that can change in local and systemic pathologies including inflammation. Although changes in acute phase proteins and markers of oxidative stress in saliva during inflammation in humans and different animal species have been described, no data exist about...

Objective: The current investigation was designed to point out the prevalence of multidrug-resistant Streptococcus spp. causing acute clinical mastitis and their pattern of antibiotic resistance in dairy cows. Materials and methods: Milk wassampled from 128 dairy cows with 191 infected quarters...
