Prevention of bovine mastitis
Mastitis in dairy cows has for many years received attention from Veterinary scientists, more so than any other if the common diseases of cattle. The less occasioned by infection of the mammary gland has cost the dairy industry an enormous amount through loss of milk, use of antibiotics and culling …

Assessment of Antimicrobial Resistance in Pathogens Responsible for Causing Bovine Mastitis in Kentucky
<p>Bovine mastitis is most significant disease seen in dairy farms worldwide, resulting in the largest profit loss of any other disease affecting dairy cows. The aim of this thesis was to determine the predominant species responsible for bovine mastitis in a subset of ten Kentucky dairy herds, and …

Role of Staphylococcus aureus GapC and GapB in immunity and pathogenesis of bovine mastitis
Mastitis is the most prevalent and major cause of economic losses in dairy farms. Bovine mastitis caused by strains of S. aureus is a major economically important disease affecting the dairy industry worldwide. S. aureus is one of the most common udder pathogens that cause either clinical or …

Novel Diagnostic Methods for Rapid Detection and Identification of Bacterial Infections in Bovine Mastitis
… diagnosis of different bacterial species in bovine mastitis directly from samples requiring different levels of laboratory equipment, costs and expertise. Laser-assisted rapid evaporative mass spectrometry was used to identify molecular biomarkers in mastitic milk. Diagnostic performance and …

Curli Production and ERIC-PCR Fingerprinting of Escherichia coli from Clinical Cases of Bovine Mastitis
Mastitis caused by Escherichia coli is among the most common and severe forms of environmental mastitis. Currently, the severity of E. coli mastitis is thought to be more related to cow factors than bacterial virulence. Some strains of E. coli, however, may be adapted to colonizing mammary tissue, …

In Vitro Study of an Orange Oil Derived Alternative to Antibiotics in the Treatment of Bovine Mastitis
Bovine mastitis is a costly disease in the U.S. dairy industry. Its major causative agent Staphylococcus aureus is often unresponsive to antibiotic therapy. Our first study examined terpeneless, cold-pressed Valencia (CPV) orange oil as a possible alternative to antibiotic therapy in the treatment …

Implications of the ability of Enterococcus spp. to survive the ensiling process and bovine gastrointestinal tract on the risk of bovine mastitis
… spp. surviving the ensiling process and bovine gastrointestinal tract could impact risk of bovine mastitis. The first study determined ability of enterococci to survive 3 wk ensiling. Grass and corn crops were divided into 3 treatments: 2 commercial silage inoculants, 1 negative control. …

Development of a Gram-type Specific Method for Detection of Bovine Mastitis Pathogens by Combining Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) and Split Trehalase Technologies
Bovine mastitis, which results mainly from intramammary infections (IMI) caused by Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacteria, is a huge burden on the global dairy industry. Oftentimes the presence of an infection can be deduced by measuring the somatic cell count (SCC) or released enzymes, or …

Development of Wireless Sensor Network to Detect Lameness in Dairy Cows
Bovine mastitis, lameness, and calving are three major problems in the dairy farming industry. They lead to economic losses and decreased animal welfare. With the industrialization of dairy farms, these problems are magnified due to the lack of skilled labor. This work introduces a design for a …

Abnormal Milk Evaluations in Eastern South Dakota Milk Plants and Dairy Herds
<p>For many years bovine mastitis has been a major problem for dairy producers, the seriousness of which can be measured by the volumes of literature which have been written about it as well as the economic losses incurred by the dairy industry because of it. The fact that mastitis is still a …

Effects of using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to monitor the control of Staphylococcus aureus mastitis in dairy herds
Bovine mastitis is the most important economic disease to the dairy industry with losses estimated at 2 billion dollars per year in the United States. Staphylococcus aureus (.§.. aureus) is the primary cause of contagious mastitis. Conventional culture methods (National Mastitis Council) were used …

Comparison of Micrscan Identification and Susceptibility Testing Methods for Streptococcus Dysgalactiae to Conventional Biochemical Reactions and Kirby-Bauer Susceptibility Testing Methods
… 100 isolates of Streptococcus dysgalact iae from bovine mastitis infections was used to evaluate and compare the biochemical reactions of the gram positive Combo Type 6 panel on the MicroScan autoSCANR system to a conventional procedure for identification of streptococci. Of the 100 isolates, …

Alternative treatments for bovine and human mastitis
Mastitis, an inflammation of the mammary gland normally caused by infection, is a painful condition with welfare implications recorded both in cows and lactating women. The main treatment for mastitis is the administration of antibiotics for both species. However, there is a compelling need for …

Development of an advanced deep learning and neural network method for automatic early detection of mastitis in dairy cattle : A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Lincoln University
Mastitis, a costly and prevalent disease in dairy cows, reduces milk yield, quality, and animal welfare, while increasing treatment costs. Early detection, especially in the subclinical stage, is crucial for controlling the disease and maintaining milk production. This study explores advanced …
