Question

Chemical examination tests done in cows for mastitis

Answer 1

"7jHE highly developed mammary

organ of dairy cows is particularly

liable to a number of diseases which

are less common in the types of cattle

in which selective breeding has not been

so intensively directed toward udder re-

finement and functional capacity."

" Streptococcic mastitis, the most com-

mon and formidable of udder infec-

tions, a chronic insidious and readily

transmissible disease, usually results in

serious permanent udder impairment."

These quotations from Leunis Van Es tell nearly all we know of the etiological

factors of the prevalent type of mastitis

of cows.
