Subclinical mastitis in dairy sheep and goats has major deleterious effects on both the yield and the quality of milk. Improved insight into the interaction between bacteria and the affected gland was achieved by comparing infected and uninfected glands in the same animal. Lower concentration of lactose in the infected glands was associated with higher whey and albumin concentrations. In both sheep and goats curd yields from the infected halves were lower than those from the uninfected ones, although casein concentrations were almost equal in the two glands. It is likely that modifications in the casein micelles, caused by bacterial activity, are more detrimental to curd formation than to casein formation; this is also indicated by the longer clotting time of milk in the infected glands. Plasmin, the major proteolytic enzyme, in milk exists mostly as inactive plasminogen, and is activated by plasminogen-activator. Beta-casein is a natural substrate of plasmin, and a beta-casein-derived peptide down-regulates milk secretion. In goats, plasminogen activity was close to zero, possibly because of unusually high plasminogen-activator activity. The higher casein content, together with the higher plasmin activity, in sheep than in goats resulted in higher contents of casein degradation products, which include factors that downregulate lactose and milk secretion. The higher degradation of casein explains the higher loss of curd and the lower milk yield in response to bacterial infection, in sheep than in goats. © Wageningen Academic Publishers The Netherlands, 2005.
