Mastitis is one of the most prevalent and economically significant diseases affecting dairy cows worldwide. It is an inflammation of the mammary gland, usually caused by bacterial infection. If left untreated, mastitis can lead to reduced milk production, poor milk quality, and significant economic losses. One of the most effective treatments for mastitis is the use of intramammary tubes, which deliver medication directly into the affected udder.
What Are Intramammary Tubes?
Intramammary tubes are specialized devices designed to administer medication directly into a cow’s udder. These tubes are typically filled with antibiotics or other therapeutic agents that target the bacteria causing the infection. They are designed for easy insertion into the teat canal, allowing for direct treatment of the infected mammary gland.
The use of intramammary tubes ensures that the medication is delivered precisely where it is needed, increasing its effectiveness and reducing the risk of systemic side effects that can occur with oral or injectable antibiotics.
