Disease Description
|
Udder edema is generally a periparturient disorder characterized by excessive accumulation of fluids in the intercellular tissue spaces of the mammary gland. Incidence and severity are greater in pregnant heifers than in cows (Erb and Grohn, 1988). Udder edema can be a major discomfort to the buffalo and cow and causes management problems such as diffi culty with milking, increased risk for teat and udder injuries, and mastitis, and may also reduce milk production.

|
Management Practices
|
Massage, repeated as often as possible, and hot compresses stimulate circulation and promote edema reduction. Diuretics have proved highly beneficial in reducing udder edema, and corticosteroids may be helpful. Products that combine diuretics and corticosteroids are available for treatment of udder edema.
