Abstract

External pudic artery was ligated in five adult she-goats with normal lactating udder and in another five with unilateral gangrenous mastitis. One to two weeks after ligation, atrophy was observed in seven goats (three with normal udder and four with unilateral gangrenous udder). Ligation of the external pudic artery can not be recommended as an alternative technique for surgical mastectomy in goats.
