Twenty-four rams inoculated with Brucella ovis by conjunctival and preputial routes were treated with a long-acting oxytetracycline alone or in combination with dihydrostreptomycin sulfate. The combined treatment eliminated Brucella ovis from 11 of 12 (91.6%) treated rams. Only 4 of 12 (33.3%) rams treated with oxytetracycline alone were bacteriologically negative. Neither treatment resolved clinical epididymitis in 2 rams affected before treatment. Many rams had pathologic lesions in the epididymis and ampullae, which limited the efficacy of antibiotic treatment.
通过结膜和包皮途径接种绵羊布鲁氏菌的24只公羊，分别单独使用长效土霉素或与硫酸双氢链霉素联合治疗。联合治疗使12只接受治疗的公羊中的11只（91.6%）清除了绵羊布鲁氏菌。仅单独使用土霉素治疗的12只公羊中有4只（33.3%）细菌学检测呈阴性。两种治疗方法均未使2只在治疗前就已感染的公羊的临床附睾炎得到缓解。许多公羊的附睾和壶腹部有病理损伤，这限制了抗生素治疗的效果。
