A Rare Case of Athelia in A Cross Breed Cow

Uma Rani R., Kokila S.

Abstract


A three-year-old Jersey cross breed cow was referred with the history of recent calving and congenital absence of three teats. Clinical examination revealed that the udder was normal and engorged with milk. The right fore teat was normal in shape without any physical abnormalities. There was absence of left fore, left hind and right hind teats and they were represented by small eruptions. Permanent therapeutic cessation of lactation was achieved successfully by intramammary infusion of each affected quarter with 120 ml of 5 % povidone iodine solution.

*2016 Journal Impact Factor was established by dividing the number of articles published in 2014 and 2015 with the number of times they are cited in 2016 based on Google Scholar, Google Search and the Microsoft Academic Search. If ‘A’ is the total number of articles published in 2014 and 2015, and ‘B’ is the number of times these articles were cited in indexed publications during 2016 then, journal impact factor = A/B.
