Udder Edema
Simple udder edema or conges
tion occurs in dairy cattle just
before calving and often for as
much as a month following
calving
676
644
674
It is caused by an accumula
tion of excess lymph fluid which,
bathes all the cells and tissues
of the mammai y gland Trans
fer of materials from which milk
is manufactured by the milk
secreting cells is carried by the
lymph fluid from the blood
vessels of the udder
Excessive accumulation of
lymph in the udder can occur
for one or a number of reasons.
Inadequate protein in the diet,
excessive salt intake, poor blood
circulation of the gland as a re
sult of breakdown or damage
to udder ligaments are all pos
sibilities.

665
663
663
661
When cows are forced to carry
large amounts of milk in their
udders at freshening time, the
excessive weight of both milk
and excess lymph aggravates
congestion as they affect both,
blood and lymph drainage from
the udder Complete premilk
mg, if there is enough milk to
justify it, is helpful
Udder suppoits are useful
especially for older cows with
pendulous udders.^
661
657
654
642
647
646
646
646
Repeated massage of the ud
der using water or mild non-ir
xitant liniment or balm and rub
bing only in an upward and
backward direction may be bene
ficial Use cold water or ica
water if the udder feels hot or
lukewarm water if the udder
feels cold Never use anything
irritant enough to make your
hands red or swollen; that de
feats the purpose of the mas
sage.

New diuretics are available
for removing excess fluid, but
they remove fluid from the en
tire body which may actually
at that time be dehydrated.
Diuretics are not drugs which
should be given to every cow
with udder edema.
634
632
628
611
632
It should be understood tba|
some cases of udder edma may
be the result of mastitis, injury
or other sources of inflammation
in the gland These may damaga
cr destroy normal lymph circu
lation and prevent any effective
txeatment.

Handling Milking Equipment
Like the dishes from which
we eat, milking equipment must
be washed after each use. This
means a complete cycle or man
ual washing after the night
milking, as well as morning. A
good rinse job after night milk
ing is not enough l
627
626
626
626
624
Years ago once-a-day washing
gave adequate keeping quality.
Most milk was produced, pro
cessed and delivered to the coo
sumer within 24 hours.
619
617
Today, much milk is at leasfi
seven days from cow to consum,-
er. Sanitation must improve t*
assure good shelf life.
All milking equipment should
be rinsed in lukewarm water inot*
mediately after use. Tempera
tures of about 100°F rinse mosti
of the loose milk from the sur
face. Cleaning should be done
as soon as possible so the millc
doesn’t dry
