| Popis: | Within 24 hours following parturition 7 sows and gilts were each given Escherichia coli endotoxin by either infusion of one mammary gland or by infusion of the uterus. The endotoxin was absorbed from both sites as evidenced by an increase in body temperatures, by a decline in white blood cell counts, and by the detection of the endotoxin in the blood plasma samples by a limulus amebocyte lysate gelation test. All of the animals following treatment with E. coli endotoxin exhibited many of the signs often listed in descriptions of lactation failure. |
