[Surgical treatment for 2 fused teats].
The results of reconstructive surgery in congenital fusion of teats in five cows are reported. All cows could be hand-milked post-operatively, with the exception of one heifer showing basal obstruction; all four quarters of one heifer could be machine-milked, and the other four cows could be hand-milked in three quarters. It was concluded that post-operative productivity, as either four-quarter or three-quarter cows, was sufficient to justify surgery and retention of the cows in the herd.
