All ewes were scrapie-positive based on brain examination (vacuolar changes and presence of PrP^d/PrP^res). The age is displayed in months (m) and days (d), with months displayed in calendar months; the somatic cell count is displayed in 10³ cells/ml; volume of colostrum or milk is displayed in litres (rounded down).
