Clinical mastitis can occur with varying degrees of severity from mild to moderate. The level of illness and symptoms that arise will depend on many factors, such as the nutritional status or immunity of cattle, the pathogen responsible for inflammation, and various environmental factors such as cleanliness. To know more about this, you can have a word with Improved bulk somatic cell count management.

The few symptoms of clinical mastitis which you should know about are:

• Thresholds such as swelling, heat, violence, redness, or pain; and
• Milk like a runny appearance, splinters, bumps, or pus

Other symptoms, depending on the severity of the disease and how systemic, can also include:

• Reduction in milk production
• Increase in body temperature
• Lack of appetite
• Sunken eyes
• Signs of diarrhea and dehydration
• Mobility is reduced, because the pain is swollen or just because it feels unhealthy

In cases of acute and clinical mastitis – usually these cases are caused by E. colicin infection – the cow may look very sick and low. Conversely, subclinical mastitis can cause several symptoms and can only be detected in a number of somatic cells that are higher than normal. With the help of the latest technology, you can easily identify cows with high SCC immediately. This saves a lot of your time.
