Supplementary Material: Dairy Cows Udder Echtotexture and Blood Flow in Dry Period and Lactation
Description
This dataset contains supplemental material to the research article: "Udder ultrasonography of dairy cows: Investigating the relationship between echotexture, blood flow, somatic cell count and milk yield during dry period and lactation". Dataset contents explained: - Tables 5, 6, 7: Ingredients, chemical composition and nutritive value of the total mixed rations provided for the: 1) High Lactation , 2) Low Lactation , 3) and 4) Close-Up (dry period) groups. - 15 tiff files, presenting the 15 Echotexture Parameters' changes throughout the study period: starting from 7 days before the dry period (“DP”), throughout the DP, 7 and 3 days prior to calving, at calving (“C”) and from the 3rd to the 90th day in the new lactation (“DIM”: days in milk). These echotexture parameters are: - Skewness - Entropy - Mean Pixel Standard Deviation - Run Percentage - Correlation - Runlength Distribution - Mean Numerical Pixel Value - Contrast - Percentage Non Zero Gradients - Excess - Gradient Mean Value - Gradient Variance - Grey Value Distribution - Long Run Emphasis - Homogeneity - An avi. video file presenting a color Doppler ultrasonographic examination of the blood flow in the milk vein of a cow
