Mastitis Treatment
Still Being Tested
State Dairymen Are Warned To Be
Careful In Treatment OF Malady

Dairymen in Delaware who are
troubled with mastitis in their
dairy herds are advised by U. S.
Department of Agriculture re-
search workers to proceed with
caution in the treatment of their
dairy animals. Farmers who try to
treat mastitis in their herds by in
jecting medicinal preparations up
the teat canal and into the udder
may do more harm than good.
Recently, Investigators have
found that certain chemicals intro
duced into the udder through the
teat canal appear to cure one of
the common forms of mastitis in a
considerable percentage of cases.
Some of these treatments show
promise, but tests are still under
way at several of the state expert
ment stations and at the U. s. De-
partment of Agriculture's animal
