Bovine mastitis: an evolving disease.

TL;DR: The changes in incidence and pattern of mastitis in the UK over the last four decades are reviewed and apparent changes in the behaviour of E. coli and its ability to cause persistent intramammary infection are discussed.

Alterations in bovine neutrophil function during the periparturient period.

TL;DR: Impairments of neutrophil function after parturition may be manifested as a severe cumulative deficit in the native defenses afforded by the neutrophils.
Journal ArticleDOI

Environmental mastitis: cause, prevalence, prevention.

TL;DR: Rate of intramammary infection by coliform bacteria and species of streptococci other than Streptococcus agalactiae (environmental pathogens) was studied in a dairy herd in total confinement and increased progressively as parity increased.

A 100-Year Review: Mastitis detection, management, and prevention.

TL;DR: Important advances in detection, management, and prevention of mastitis that have occurred since the first volume of the Journal of Dairy Science was published in 1917 are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of vitamin E and selenium supplementation on incidence of clinical mastitis and duration of clinical symptoms.

TL;DR: It is concluded that dairy cow diets deficient of vitamin E may elevate incidence of clinical mastitis, and Selenium deficiency may result in greater duration of clinical symptoms, and selenium may interact with vitamin E.

408. Udder infections in the ‘dry period’. I

TL;DR: In a herd averaging forty-five to fifty cows in milk, large numbers of infections occurred during the dry period and over half of these developed during the first 3 weeks after the final milking-out of the udder.

Intramammary Infections in Primigravid Heifers Near Parturition

TL;DR: The number and type of primary pathogen infections during early lactation were similar to those at parturition, and the number of coagulase negative staphylococcal infections decreased markedly.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of a hygiene and dry period therapy program for mastitis control.

TL;DR: Among treated cows S. agalactiae infection, new infection rate, and cases of clinical mastitis were reduced from controls, and there was no increase in coliform infections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Susceptibility of the bovine udder to bacterial infection in the dry period

TL;DR: Differences in the rates of new infection between the early dry period and a very extended dry period are suggested to be due to differences in the ease with which bacteria can penetrate the teat canal.
