dc.description.abstractObstructive teat injuries are common in dairy cows, which consequently lead to reduced milk production and poor milk quality, increased cost of treatment, early culling and thereby, a negative economic impact. The present study was undertaken for the production and standardization of a low cost biocompatible teat implant made of silk fibroin, known for its versatile utility as a biomaterial. Bombyx mori cocoons were collected and processed to make the silk fibroin solution and were made into mat form of 0.2 mm thickness and a pore size of 2-5 μm by electrospinning technique. A comparative clinical trial was conducted with regular silicone plugs and silk fibroin rolled teat plugs in cases of teat obstruction in dairy cattle. The parameters studied included healing period in days for return to milking, milkability and somatic cell count measured at 0, 10, 20 and 30 days.en_US
