摘要
Contagious agalactia was produced experimentally in four groups of goats (each containing seven goats) using a local isolate of Mycoplasma agalactiae, employing four different routes of inoculation (intravenous, intramammary, subcutaneous and oral) each. Major clinical signs throughout the experiment were mastitis, arthritis, and conjunctivitis. Clinical signs were most obvious in the subcutaneously inoculated group which also yielded the highest number of M. agalactiae recoveries before and after sacrifice, followed by the intramammary, intravenous and lastly the orally inoculated group. Pregnant animals were affected more severely than non-pregnant animals.
