Gangrenous mastitis in a cow after 10 days. Green arrow indicates complete necrosis of the teat. Yellow arrows indicate the limits of the gangrenous tissue, but the necrotic area is not well delimited on the upper part of the udder. Dairy cow with gangrenous mastitis (rear quarter)
Mastitis episodes do not appear to influence lifetime risk of breast cancer. [citation needed] Mastitis does however cause great difficulties in diagnosis of breast cancer. Breast cancer may coincide with mastitis or develop shortly afterwards. All suspicious symptoms that do not completely disappear within 5 weeks must be investigated.
Corynebacterium bovis is a pathogenic bacterium that causes mastitis and pyelonephritis in cattle.. C. bovis is a facultatively anaerobic, Gram-positive organism, characterized by nonencapsulated, nonsporulated, immobile, straight or curved rods with a length of 1 to 8 μm and width of 0.3 to 0.8 μm, which forms ramified aggregations in culture (looking like "Chinese characters").
Gangrenous mastitis in a cow, Day 10; green arrow : complete necrosis of the teat; yellow arrows : limits of the gangrenous tissue, but the necrotic area is not well delimited on the upper part of the udder. Mastitis can cause a decline in potassium and lactoferrin. It also results in decreased casein, the major protein in milk.
[8] This analysis did not report on clinical mastitis. [citation needed] A more recent meta-analysis (2014) published by the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association showed no significant increase in risk of clinical mastitis nor other adverse effects on cow health and well-being.

A full mature Holstein cow usually weighs around 700 kilograms (1,500 lb) and is 147 centimetres (58 in) tall at the shoulder. They are known for their outstanding milk production among the main breeds of dairy cattle. An average Holstein cow produces around 10,000 kilograms (23,000 lb) of milk each lactation.
The average time of milking is 5–7 minutes and a cow can be milked with a machine 2–3 times a day. [4] The existing robotic milking has allowed cows to have the freedom to decide when to milk, but still needs to make contact with people. [5] [6] A known side effect of machine milking is mastitis in cows. [7]
