CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY ON THE PREVALENCE OF CONTAGIOUS PATHOGENS IN BULK TANK MILK AND THEIR EFFECTS ON SOMATIC CELL COUNTS AND MILK YIELD

Cross-sectional study on the prevalence of contagious pathogens in bulk tank milk and their effects on somatic cell counts and milk yield

Data on the prevalence of major contagious pathogens in bulk tank milk (BTM) in Italy are generally not available.The availability of Real-Time PCR procedures (qPCR) to perform BTM analysis by represents an important step to define herd health status.Therefore, a cross-sectional epidemiological study was designed to assess the prevalence of contagi

Vehicle trajectory at curved sections of two-lane mountain roads: a field study under natural driving conditions

Abstract Purpose The trajectory of a vehicle is comprehensively affected by the interactions between the vehicle, the driving behavior, and the road environment.High-risk driving behaviors and accident-prone road sections can be identified based on the relationship between the trajectory and road geometry.Previous related studies mostly focused on
