title: Thermal changes in cow's mammary gland after experimentally invoked inflammation (mastitis).
abstract: The purpose of the study was the evaluation of the thermal changes within mammary gland in cows, after experimentally invoked inflammation, developed as a result of 60 ml of 20% NaCl solution given directly into the udder (A and D quarters). Three hours after injection, the increased' temperature of teats and their bases by 2.26 degrees C and 0.58 degree C, respectively, was stated. The temperature was still increased after 6 hours from NaCl solution injection. It was accompanied by increase of heat flux from the skin surface by 50.17 mW/cm2 taken from the teat surface, and by increased values of Burton Index--the tissue blood supply index.
