(2) A limit value of 4.6 per cent has been commonly assumed in literature and proved to be a sound basis for udder health assessment, provided that the given phase of lactation is taken into due consideration (exclusion of cows in the first month post partum as well as of aged milking cows from the seventh month of lactation).
(3) Tests for the purchase of milk on quality must include tests for udder health by regular electronic cell counting of raw milk sources.
(4) The inhibitory activity of the secretions on Streptococcus uberis was determined and the susceptibility of the udder to infection by this organism was tested by intramammary infusion of 250 colony forming units at the above stages.
(5) The transfer of spores via the udder or via the maternal feces led to very similar levels of implantation of spores in the digestive tract of neonates.
(6) Dairy form, rear udder height, and rear udder width had strong to moderate positive genetic correlations with the three production traits.
(7) Although infected cell excretion was restricted to one half of the udder, virus-specific lesions were found in both udder halves.
(8) From the results it is apparent that, on subclinical levels, udder health of dairy cows depends in principle on a variety of conditions, variability in dynamic fluctuations and the balance between persistent, deteriorating and improving health states.
(9) When the metal grid was in poor condition, the incidence of teat injuries as well as udder diseases of heifers increased.
(10) In an 11-mo trial, backflushing was applied to teatcups that milked the right half of the udder; the left half served as control.
(11) Subclinical mastitis is a major problem in udder health control.
(12) After the hour 0 sampling (summer only), one side of the udder of each of 12 ewes (group 1) was milked hourly for 4 h, and the opposite side was milked only at 0 and 4 h. Group 2 ewes were milked only at 0 and 4 h and blood was collected from both groups at 0 h and 4 h. Concentrations of prolactin were correlated in pairs of milk or blood samples from the same ewe and in plasma and milk of ewes in group 2 but not in group 1.

(14) Analysis of 448 milk samples (11 herds) from caprine udder halves showed that microorganisms were isolated from 21.8% of the samples.
(15) 1 showed that lamb 30-d weights, ewe weights at breeding time, and udder width at peak lactation were highly correlated with suckled milk yield (r = .81, .75 and .66, respectively).
(16) The level of total lactate dehydrogenase activity in dairy cow milk serum was studied in sets of quarter-udder milks showing different degrees of a positive response to Mastitis test-NK.
(17) The secretory capacity of the udder is thus normally established well before parturition in the mare.
(18) In similar experiments the skim milk derived from whole accumulating in the udder overnight was lower in adenosine triphosphate (14.2 muM) than skim milk from freshly secreted milk (26.0 muM).
(19) No germ growth was established from 9.5 per cent of all samples taken from udder quarters with increased cell counts and conductivities and from 4.1 per cent of those samples taken from intact udder quarters.
(20) Effects of oral administration of 0, 5, 10, or 20 mug of 6 alpha, 9 alpha-difluoro-16alpha-methyl-prednisolone (Flumethasone) daily on milk and milk component yields, udder health reproductive performance, and body weight change were measured.
