A sterile polyethylene device was introduced in the milk cistern of two mammary quarters of forty dairy cows. The cows were divided into three groups according to the length of exposure of the device in the cistern (3 days, 14 days, 365 days). The somatic cell counts were studied for a year in the first 10 ml fraction of milk and an increase in the somatic cell counts was found in the quarters having the intramammary device, as compared with the control quarters (having no devices). This difference was marked during lactation and prior to the onset of drying off. For the reduction in the frequency of occurrence of new natural intramammary infections, the activity of the device against S. aureus was limited and no activity against S. agalactiae was proved. The proportions of polymorphonuclears, round-cell elements and macrophages were histologically studied and compared for the udder quarters with and without the intramammary body in correlation with the time of exposure of the device to the milk cistern milieu. The most marked differences in favour of the udder quarters with the intramammary device were recorded in the alveoli containing more cells with a significant proportion of polymorphonuclear leucocytes. Small differences were found in the interstitial and subepithelial zone of the milk cistern. The activity of acid and alkaline phosphatase and adenosine triphosphatase was histochemically determined in the tissue structures of the udder and was found not to change under the influence of the device. Leucocytes and macrophages adhering to the surface of the body were observed under scanning electron microscope.
