Which of the following disease would directly affect milk production in cows?
Mastitis
Rinderpest
Trypanosomiasis
Tuberculosis
Correct answer is A
Mastitis in dairy cows is caused by udder infections, usually resulting from bacteria introduced either during the milking process or from environmental contact. Milk-secreting tissues and various ducts throughout the udder can be damaged by bacterial toxins, and sometimes permanent damage to the udder occurs.
