Influencing factors on the haematogene micro-circulation at the teat of milking cows

On the basis of relative, quantitative parameters of the haematogene micro-circulation of 50 teats of lactating cows, comparisons were made between front and rear teats, short and long teats as well as concerning different blind milking times and milk flow rates of the cows, and their results are evaluated. Obviously, adverse biological conditions and extreme functional demands during the milking process are causes for the detected disturbances of blood supply in the teat tissue with their consequential chronic-inflammatory damages. The results confirm the suitability of micro-circulation diagnostics for the evaluation of different configurations of the teat, for mutual requirements between the biology of the teat and the milking technology, for livestock breeding and for veterinary measures.
