[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1365741, member: 25884"] No black mastitis is not the same as what we know as gangarene mastitis. It sounds more like what we see here as klebsiella, they go from say 60-100 lbs a day to nothing in a few hours and it will kill the cow if you don't catch it quick. Coliform mastitis here usually starts with a hard quarter, very little milk, gets watery and a high temp. The cow will usually recover if you treat it aggressively, and will often come back in to production but not as much as she was making. Klebsiella will just ruin the production if you even save the cow. She won't come back and will often abort if preg. If you save her, after the drugs are out most everyone ships them, although there have been a few cases that I have seen the farmer kept them when they didn't abort and they came back into the barn but they never milk as good. Mostly they wanted to get the calf. Gangarene mast will usually only affect one quarter, and it will literally "rot" off the cow and she will keep milking in the other quarters. Gross, but they keep on producing. Naturally they have to be milked in the bucket due to the drugs, but the cow will survive it, and come back in as a 3 qtr cow. Looks like you "cut off" one qtr., which in essence it sloughed off. [/QUOTE]
