Cellular defense mechanisms in the udder and lactation of goats.
Migration of neutrophils into mammary tissue provides the first immunological line of defense against bacteria that penetrate the physical barrier of the teat canal. Evasion of neutrophil defenses provides an opportunity for invading bacteria to become established. Depletion of neutrophils results in a dramatic increase in susceptibility to intramammary infection. Numerous cytoplasmic particles...
متن کاملThe importance of cell division in udder development and lactation
The mammary secretory cell population increases in an exponential fashion during pregnancy in all species studied, as a consequence of very high rates of cell division. After parturition the mitotic index drops dramatically, but a limited amount of proliferation does continue, at least until the time of maximum milk yield. This is particularly true of rodents but also occurs in dairy species. D...
متن کاملGenetic Improvement of Udder Health
Susceptibility to mastitis is in part determined by genetics. Opportunities exist for genetic improvement of resistance to mastitis but currently available means for genetic selection are limited and focus mainly on EBV for SCC and, in countries with health recording, on EBV for clinical mastitis. Further opportunities exist to incorporate available EBV for udder conformation and milking speed ...
متن کاملOn-farm udder health monitoring.
In this article an on-farm monitoring approach on udder health is presented. Monitoring of udder health consists of regular collection and analysis of data and of the regular evaluation of management practices. The ultimate goal is to manage critical control points in udder health management, such as hygiene, body condition, teat ends and treatments, in such a way that results (udder health par...
متن کاملGenetics of udder health in dairy ruminants
Udder health troubles in dairy ruminants mainly include intra mammary infections, or mastitis, caused by a pathogen that enter the gland through the teat canal and develop in the gland cistern. Mastitis is a multifactorial disease; it’s origin, severity and outcome are highly variable and depend on environment, a wide variety of pathogens (mostly bacteria) and host. In dairy cattle, mastitis is...
