MASTITIS – FEED BACK INHIBITOR OF LACTATION (FIL)

  • 5 minutes

Inflammation of specific udder segments can occur at any stage during the lactation.

When milk-release is impaired by mastitis in one or more udder segments, there is the threat that FIL (a protein) will be released: when the concentration of this protein in the udder milk in creases, milk production is suppressed and eventually milk flow will stop.
