Teat laceration repair in cattle.
Teat injuries are common in dairy cattle, and, compared with other frequently occurring diseases, these injuries often result in premature culling of affected cows. Teat injuries can be divided into two categories (external or internal injuries). All the different types of injuries/diseases, diagnostic approaches, and therapies have been described in a previous chapter. This chapter focuses only on teat lacerations (external injury).
