What has been one large report in the past is now three separate publications: â2010 Large Church Salary and Benefits Reportâ (this report), â2010 Large Church Economic Outlook Reportâ and â2010 Large Church Finances and Staffing Reportâ.
Mastitis in dairy cattle is the persistent, inflammatory reaction of the udder tissue. Mastitis, a potentially fatal mammary gland infection, is the most common disease in dairy cattle in the United States.It is also the most costly to the dairy industry. Milk from cows suffering from mastitis has an increased somatic cell count. gangrened udder (which sloughed naturally). This disease can be identified by abnormalities in the udder such as swelling, heat, redness, hardness, or pain (if it is clinical). Other indications of mastitis may be abnormalities in milk such as a watery appearance, flakes, or clots.
Structure and function, or anatomy and physiology, go hand-in-hand in understanding the mammary gland. This module focuses on the gross anatomy of the mammary gland of the dairy cow. The lessons learned from this module can be applied to understanding mammary anatomy of other species, as well. Later modules and lessons will address the physiology of the mammary gland in greater detail. As skin glands go, the mammary gland of a dairy cow is a remarkable structure. To begin examining the anatomy of this gland, some gross anatomical landmarks are indentified here, including the teats, fore and rear quarters, mammary groove, and fore and rear quarter attachments.
