including mammary problems was established fist. Later, cases related to udder or teats were

of the udders, teats and milk samples, and palpation of the udders and teats.
Furthermore, milk samples were tested by CMT. In 15 years, 3007 cases including
the mammary diseases came to the clinic. The count of mammary diseases in these
cases was 721 (%23.97). Dispersion of mammary diseases to cows, sheep, goats
and dogs were 714 (%99.02), 5 (%0.69), 1 (%0.13) and 1 (%0.13) respectively.
