Outbreaks of mastitis in a sheep flock and a goat herd caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and their control are described. The morbidity rates of mastitis in a sheep flock and in a goat herd were 18.7 and 18.2 per cent, respectively. The lethality and involuntary culling rates of the animals with sub-clinical mastitis correspond to the morbidity rate. The highest morbidity rates were noted in yearlings--22.5 and 30 per cent, as well as in animals pre- and post partum (7 and 20 per cent, in sheep and goats, respectively). The morbidity periods in the flock and in the herd were 20 and 27 months, respectively. A strict-hygiene milking programme and maintenance of the milking devices was introduced. In addition, prevention of crowding, provision of dry bedding and thorough cleaning of water troughs have also been instituted. Ruthless culling of all infected and carrier animals was an essential part of the control program against Pseudomonas aeruginosa mastitis.
本文描述了由铜绿假单胞菌引起的一群绵羊和一群山羊的乳腺炎暴发及其控制情况。绵羊群和山羊群中乳腺炎的发病率分别为18.7%和18.2%。亚临床乳腺炎动物的致死率和非自愿扑杀率与发病率相当。一岁羊的发病率最高,分别为22.5%和30%,产前和产后动物的发病率也较高(绵羊和山羊分别为7%和20%)。羊群和山羊群中的发病期分别为20个月和27个月。实施了严格的卫生挤奶程序并维护挤奶设备。此外,还采取了防止拥挤、提供干燥垫料和彻底清洁水槽等措施。对所有感染和携带病菌的动物进行无情扑杀是控制铜绿假单胞菌乳腺炎计划的重要组成部分。
