초록

한 유우목장의 착유우군내에서 인터서킹의 행동장애를 지속적으로 보이는 홀스타인 경산우가 있었다. 이것은 대부분 이유 시 잘못된 급여관리로 인해 발생하는 행동 장애 중 하나로 생각되어져왔다. 이러한 행동 장애는 다른 착유우의 유두에 물리적인 손상을 주어 우유 생산을 떨어뜨릴 수가 있다. 혀 복면의 절개된 부분을 봉합해 배면을 둥글게 해주는 혀수술을 통해 외과적으로 교정하였고 이후 수술로 인한 합병증없이 착유우군내에서 인터서킹의 행동장애를 보이지 않았다.

On a dairy farm, a Holstein cow had consistently shown an intersucking behavior within the milking herd. It has been considered as one of several behavioral disorders primarily coming from feeding management failure during weaning period. Due to their behavior, injured teats of other milking cows could decrease milk production. Through tongue surgery, by producing a convex shape of the dorsum of the tongue after suturing the excised ventral region, the intersucking behavior was forcefully corrected and disappeared thereafter within the dairy herd without any complications.
