Resumo
Stenosis of mammary papillary duct leads to
difficulties on manual milking of cows, consisting in one of
the main reasons for discarding dairy cows. Eighty cows
from three to eleven years of age and 30 to 60 days after
calving were divided in to three groups (I, II, III), by the
following aspects: G-I, control group, with healthy 40
females. G-II, 20 animals submitted to surgical procedure
without any postoperative medication, and G-III 20 animals
submitted to surgical procedure followed by use of
gentamicin for seven days. For the surgical correction of
the stenosis a tool made of stainless steel was employed. It
consisted of a 15-cm handle, a diamond shaped blade of
two centimeters on it longitudinal axis, one centimeter on
its transverse axis and cutting lateral edges. The surgical
operations were performed having the animals on standing
position and replete teat. The incisions were always done
once and on a single direction on only one way and at once.
The animals were evaluated daily for 60 days to observe
their recovery and potential postoperative complications.
In this period stenosis of the teat papillary duct on two
animals was observed on groups II and III, hemorrhagy on
six, clinical mastitis on three, sub-clinical mastitis on ten,
diffuse milk jetting on two and milk incontinence on one
cow. There was no significant difference for the occurrence
of either clinical or sub-clinical mastitis. The surgical
procedure was effective on 87,5% of the operated cows and
might be a choice for the correction of teat stenosis on dairy
cows.
