cows during the fall. Two broad categories of mastitis should be recognized. The first category is the chronic mastitis that occurred during the last spring and summer.
These cows may have been treated or may have gone unnoticed but now have quarters which have sustained large amounts of damage. These quarters can be recognized because they are larger and if felt, are often very hard.
If the quarter is milked, an abnormal secretion often containing considerable amounts of pus may be seen. Some cows may warrant being kept if only one quarter is involved. Most cows that have two or more quarters involved should be heavily considered for culling.
The second type of mastitis is acute mastitis that occurs in association with weaning. This is especially seen in heavy-producing cows that are producing more milk and will occur within a few days after weaning.
For this reason, cows should be examined closely for several days after weaning. Quarters that are very, swollen or hard should be examined. Such quarters should be milked and treated with dry cow’ mastitis preparation such as is used in dairy cows. This may result in saving the quarter that would otherwise be lost if gone untreated.
