UDDER ABNORMALITIES : 

UDDER ABNORMALITIES RIASAT WASEE ULLAH DVM

What’s mastitis ? : 

What’s mastitis ? Inflammation of one or more quarters of the udder Normal Inflamed Swelling pain warm redness

ETIOLOGY : 

ETIOLOGY Streptococci Staphylococci Coliforms Pseudomonas aeruginosa Serratia Corynebacterium pyogenes Candida Mycoplasma bovis

What are the Health Concerns of Mastitis : 

What are the Health Concerns of Mastitis Animal health Loss of functional quarter Lowered milk production Human health Poor quality milk antibiotic residues in milk

Mastitis in a Herd : 

Mastitis in a Herd Clinical Subclinical

What causes mastitis : 

What causes mastitis Bacteria ( ~ 70%) Yeasts and molds ( ~ 2%) Unknown ( ~ 28%) physical trauma weather extremes

Where do these organisms come from : 

Where do these organisms come from Infected udder Environment bedding soil water manure Replacement animals

How does mastitis develop : 

How does mastitis develop Cow Predisposing conditions Existing trauma (milking machine, heat or cold, injury) Teat end injury Lowered immunity (following calving, surgery) Nutrition Organisms Environment Environment Organism Cow

How is mastitis diagnosed : 

How is mastitis diagnosed Physical examination Signs of inflammation Empty udder Differences in firmness Unbalanced quarters Cowside tests California Mastitis test

How is Mastitis Diagnosed : 

How is Mastitis Diagnosed Culture analysis The most reliable and accurate method

Diseases of Teat and Skin : 

Diseases of Teat and Skin Bovine Ulcerative Mammilitis (BHV-ll) Edematous plaques -> vesicles -> rupture -> scab

Bovine Warts : 

Bovine Warts (BPV-I, BPV-5, BPV-6) Development of papilloma on teat -> smooth pale lesions without causing lesion ->

Dermatitis : 

Dermatitis Etiology Chemical irritants (bedding, teat dip) Bacterial infections Hyperkeratosis

Frost Bite : 

Frost Bite Skin crack Skin chap when exposed to the cold winds Swollen -> Discolor -> leathery texture Treatment It is avoided by ensuring that teat skin is dry

Udder Sores : 

Udder Sores Necrotic dermatitis on the lateral aspect of udder and medial aspect of thigh Control Necrotic skin lesion should be clean daily with antiseptic soln. and dried.

Thelitis : 

Thelitis Inflammation of the tissue of teat wall leading to gangrene Etiology Staphylococcus aureus Signs Edematous -> serum osses out -> skin dark red -> sloughing

Udder Impetigo (udder acne) : 

Udder Impetigo (udder acne) Etiology Stapylococcus aureus Signs Pustules on the base of the teat Treatment Clip hair -> wash with antiseptic

Photosensitization : 

Photosensitization Erythema -> edema -> gngerene of non pigmented area -> severe irritation -> cow kick at its abdomen

Physiological Disorders : 

Physiological Disorders Udder edema In high producing animal Before and after parturition Predisposing factor Genetics, nutrition management, lack of exercise Treatment Milking start before parturition, frequent milking, massage, use of diuretics

Agalactia : 

Agalactia Absence or faulty secretion of milk Etiology Endocrine problem Mastitis due to mycoplasma bovis Congenital disorder Supernumerary teats

Traumatic or Structural Disorder : 

Traumatic or Structural Disorder Trauma or laceration Antiseptic solution Adhesive tape can be used Teat stenosis Narrowing of streak canal which make milking difficult It is mostly due to wound or mastitis Detected by palpation

Haemetoma : 

Haemetoma Trauma It is appear as soft tissue swelling anterior to fore udder Difficult to differentiate from abscess Abscess Bloody milk (resolved itself within 4-14 days)

Congenital defects : 

Congenital defects Supernumerary teats Fuse teats Absence of teat canal and sinus Inverted teats Rudimantry teats
