Mastitis is a common inflammation in cows
Mammals during the period of lactation
Whether it's humans or animals
May be due to blockage of the milk ducts
And suffering from mastitis
For cows
Mastitis is usually
Breast infections due to bacteria
Today's dairy farming industry
Whether it's manual or machine milking
Both are likely to bring bacteria
Transfer to the cow's udder
And causes mastitis
Before mastitis forms
There is a notable case
Cows' nipples swell
But the milk could not be milked
This is due to a blockage in the milk duct
Cows that naturally feed calves
Less often, there is a blockage of the milk ducts
Because the calf will try to suck
Clogged nipples
Slowly, the blocked milk duct will be unclogged
And does not cause discomfort to cows
But intensive farming farms
Generally only cows and no calves
Even with calves
For efficiency
Farm veterinarians also dredge it directly
Breast canal therapy is performed
To reduce infections
Clean the milking equipment and disinfect after milking
It's very important to change
Keep it clean
It is an important indicator of the farm's maintenance profit
When farm workers found out
After the cow milks less
Blockage of the milk ducts
It is usually recognized
Extruded substances
Can be like a tightly adhered strip
Or piecemeal pieces
These substances are not like milk
But it is made of milk fat
Mineral and ductal tissue of the breast
Consisting of small clumps formed during the drying period
By force-passing through the nipple
These substances that block the milk duct can be unclogged
These cloggers
Make nipple holes
or the milk passage tube is significantly narrower
This makes machine milking difficult
If not unblocked in time
These blocked milk ducts
When the blockage is severely hardened
When sticky fills the nipple
This can cause permanent and complete blockage of the nipple
Cows have four nipples
Nipples that are permanently blocked
It is called a waste nipple
When clogging the nipples more than 2
The cow was raised in a cattle factory
Defined as waste cattle
And the waste cattle will be eliminated
Sold to slaughterhouses
Used as a low-grade beef cattle
