| Abstract: | Clinical mastitis was produced in three goats following inoculation into the mammary glands with 105 colony-forming units (cfu)/ml of a local strain of Mycoplasma agalactiae subsp. bovis. The infection was characterized by pyrexia, reduction in milk yield and acute purulent inflammation of the lactiferous sinus and ducts, necrosis of the duct epithelium and by the 5th day, early proliferation of chronic inflammatory cells in the parenchyma. |
