What is mastitis veterinary?
Mastitis is an infectious disease condition resulting in an inflammatory reaction in the mammary gland of the cow.
How is mastitis diagnosed in cattle?
Fore-stripping (also known as foremilk stripping) is an effective way to detect clinical mastitis. It is carried out by hand milking a few squirts onto a suitable dark surface. This will allow any signs of infection to be spotted, such as discolouration, clots, flakes, stringiness or watery secretions.
