It is easy to forget the basics in our attempts to solve a mastitis problem. The purpose of this article is to recap the basics as a reminder for mastitis prevention and problem so lving.

متن کاملUltrasonography of the supramammary lymph nodes for diagnosis of bovine chronic subclinical mastitis

Mastitis leads to proliferation of lymphocytes in the supramammary lymph nodes and subsequent enlargement of ipsilateral lymph node. Ultrasonography can be used to survey these changes.
