English: 07-1288. Milk donor sheep (VRQ/VRQ) used for Study 3 where milk and colostrum was fed separately, which includes Poll Dorset × Friesland ewe 07–1288 (red spray mark 7) at 18 months of age and lactation day 15. Its gait and behaviour within the group and during milking is unremarkable. (A clinical examination including scratch testing at that time did not reveal any abnormalities). Three months later, which was 41 days after the end of lactation, this sheep was presented for cull as clinical suspect (strong signs of scrapie) with loss of bodily condition, pruritic behaviour and the display of a positive scratch test: scratching of the back elicits a nibbling response (‘nibble reflex’). It does not yet display evident gait abnormalities.
