Use of Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines, Classification Tree and Roc Curve in Diagnosis of Subclinical Mastitis in Dairy Cattle

Conventional and extended intramammary therapy of persistent subclinical mastitis using nafcillin-penicillindihydrostreptomycin in lactating dairy cattle

The objective of the present study was to compare the efficacy of conventional and extendedintramammary (IMM) therapy of persistent subclinical mastitis in lactating dairy cattle using nafcillinpenicillin-dihydrostreptomycin combination (NPD). Sixty-five dairy cows with 126 infected quarters were enrolled in the study. Infected cows were allocated randomly to 1 of 3 different treatment regimens...

Study of the relationship between oxidative stress and subclinical mastitis in dairy cattle

Subclinical mastitis is considered as one of the most prevalent diseases in dairy cows, causing drasticloss in the dairy industry. Oxidative stress, induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS), is believed to be aprimary factor in various cattle diseases including mastitis, but there are few studies regarding the role ofROS in subclinical mastitis. This study was undertaken to i) study the changes...

Mining the Customer Credit Using Classification and Regression Tree and Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines

Credit scoring has become a very important task as the credit industry has been experiencing severe competition during the past few years. The artificial neural network is becoming a very popular alternative in credit scoring models due to its associated memory characteristic and generalization capability. However, the relative importance of potential input variables, long training process and ...

Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines

Clinical and subclinical mastitis in dairy cattle in Kampala, Uganda

Dairy farming in Uganda provides a source of food, employment and income. Previous studies have revealed high frequencies of bovine mastitis, a costly disease for the dairy farmer. The aims of this study were to investigate the bacteriological panorama in milk from udder quarters with clinical (CM) and subclinical mastitis (SCM) and to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility in staphylococca...
