Mammary blood flow during experimental Escherichia coli endotoxin induced mastitis in goats and cows

G Dhondt et al. J Dairy Res. 1977 Oct.

Abstract

The effect of intramammary infusion of Escherichia coli endotoxin upon mammary blood flow was studied in lactating goats and cows. Blood flow was recorded by means of an electromagnetic flow probe chronically implanted around one mammary artery. Endotoxin mastatis was always accompanied by a significant increase in mammary blood flow, characterized by 2 conspicuous peaks. The flow returned to control values by the thirteenth hour after infusion. Other symptoms of acute mastitis were: fever, increased heart rate, swelling, heat and pain of the gland, increased chloride and total cell count in milk.
