摘要: Behaviour during lactation and its relationship with mammary health was investigated in 12 dairy ewes (six single lambs six twins) for 42 d after lambing. Behavioural recordings were made. Samples of teat duct material secretion collected bacteriological cytological examination. Ewes performed similar patterns behaviour as those described the literature meat breeds, but some differences. No negative maternal behaviours observed; showed reduced “Grooming” “Sniffing” immediately post-partum. Of 480 or samples, 39 3, respectively (P < 0.001), yielded bacteria. There no difference frequency bacterial isolation from suckling singles twins: 46 54% isolates, = 0.637). greater first stage (day 0–day 3), 0.125, compared second 4– day 11), 0.083, third 12–day 30), 0.063, fourth 31–...
