Teat endoscopy (theloscopy) for diagnosis and therapy of milk flow disorders in dairy cows

Thomas Geishauser et al. Vet Clin North Am Food Anim Pract. 2005 Mar.

Abstract

Teat endoscopy (theloscopy) is a useful technique for diagnosis and therapy of covered teat injuries. Minimal invasive theloscopic surgery may help to restore milk flow, milk yield, and SCC of the affected quarter. Infection with pathogens may not change significantly, however. Cows treated as described may yield as much milk as their herdmates at a slightly increased udder SCC and stay as long in the herd as their herdmates. Theloscopy also may be used for diagnosis and therapy of various other teat disorders.
