A clinical trial of 30 Holstein cows with mastitis evaluated three treatment protocols. The study measured somatic cell count, California Mastitis Test scores, bacteriological culture results, and concentrations of IgG1, IgG2, IgM, and IgA before treatment and at 2, 5, and 12 days post-treatment. It was conducted by M. G. B. Lima from Universidade de São Paulo.
Use Cases
- Compare clinical cure rates based on different antibiotic administration routes described in the study.
- Analyze the relationship between somatic cell count reduction and treatment group assignment.
- Model bacteriological cure outcomes using California Mastitis Test scores and immunoglobulin levels.
- Evaluate immunoglobulin classes (IgG1, IgG2, IgM, IgA) as potential biomarkers for mastitis prognosis.
Strengths
- Data includes measurements from 30 cows across four time points, providing a longitudinal view.
- Study design compares three distinct treatment groups with clear protocols.
- Multiple outcome measures are tracked: clinical cure, bacteriological cure, somatic cell count, CMT scores, and four immunoglobulin classes.
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
