Mastitis

Mastitis is an inflammation of the mammary gland or udder of the female. The term mastitis comes from the Greek words: mastos (for breast) and itis (for inflammation). Mastitis, especially the sub-clinical form, can be a signficant problem in sheep and goat flocks that are managed intensively for meat or milk production.
