| Resumo: | Acute phase proteins (APPs) may increase in concentration in the absence of macroscopic changes in the milk, or may precede the onset of clinical signs. APPs have been investigated as markers of milk quality and subclinical mastitis in cows and sheep. Milk amyloid A (MAA) is a APPs and a highly specific biomarker for subclinical mastitis identification and one of the first proteins generated in milk following mammary glands infection. Serum Amyloid A is indicated as the most sensitive APP in sheep but few studies are available in goats. The aim of this study was to evaluate the concentration of MAA as a tool to monitoring udder health in goats. |
