Twenty cows and 20 uncalved 20 month old heifers with severely burnt teats were studied. Ten of each group received topical treatment with a mixture of lanoline, cetrimide and dimethyl sulphoxide or vitamin A and petroleum jelly, respectively. Prognosis for survival and future normal milking ability was poor in heifers (8 subsequently normal of 20 assessed) but moderate in cows (9 cows with normal and 5 cows with partial machine milking ability of 18 cows fully assessed). Treatment did not significantly increase the rate of epithelialisation of wounds. Topical treatment had no effect on the prognosis of heifers. However treated cows were more likely than control cows to survive and to show adequate teat function following subsequent calving. Severe clinical mastitis prior to calving, teat distortion and teat canal constriction were common sequelae. Recommendations on the management of heifers and cows with severely burnt teats are made.
对20头奶牛和20头20月龄未产且乳头严重烧伤的小母牛进行了研究。每组各10头分别接受了羊毛脂、氯己定和二甲亚砜混合物或维生素A与凡士林的局部治疗。小母牛的存活及未来正常挤奶能力的预后较差（评估的20头中有8头随后正常），而奶牛的预后为中等（完全评估的18头奶牛中，9头奶牛正常，5头奶牛具备部分机械挤奶能力）。治疗并未显著提高伤口上皮化的速率。局部治疗对小母牛的预后没有影响。然而，接受治疗的奶牛比对照奶牛更有可能存活，并且在随后产犊后表现出足够的乳头功能。产犊前严重的临床乳腺炎、乳头变形和乳头管狭窄是常见的后遗症。针对乳头严重烧伤的小母牛和奶牛的管理给出了建议。
