A bacteriological survey for the study of non-clinical intramammary infection in the sheep udder was carried out in 88 Assaf ewes. A mean infection prevalence in the first few weeks of lactation was 55%. The most common bacterial isolates were Micrococcus spp. followed by coagulase negative staphylococcus, together accounting for 93% of the total number of isolates. An infection prevalence of 54% was found in ewelambs 2 days after their first lambing, indicating a marked new infection rate around lambing. Generally, the course of lactation was characterized by dynamic changes of new infection and spontaneous resolution. About 5% of half udders examined developed clinical mastitis. The comparison of bacteriological data from mastitic milk samples and from samples taken from the same half udders before the appearance of the clinical disease could not support the theory that in sheep, mastitis is a clinical exacerbation of a non-clinical intramammary infection.
