German term

Stiersucht

German to English Science Agriculture
I am translating a text from 1805 which talks about Rindersucht, Stiersucht, Lösserdürre and other bovine diseases
I have managed to find out that Stiersucht is now called nyphomania boum or satyriasis but need to try to keep within the style of the text. Is there a more colloquial term for it?

Discussion

Wendy Lewin (asker) Jan 29, 2010:
Yes, that is exactly what I am looking for
Kim Metzger Jan 29, 2010:
Style of the text Do you mean that you're looking for a term that might have been used in English at that time?

constant/continous (o)estrus/heat

NyMphomania (there is a typo!) is constant heat/estrus in cows.

Eight cows were selected; four having normal behavioral patterns, one having **constant estrus (nymphomania)**, one having no estrus, and two which were ovarieetomized.
http://jds.fass.org/cgi/reprint/51/8/1295.pdf

A cow with an ovarian cyst might exhibit **“constant” estrus (nymphomania)**, no estrus (anestrus) or an erratic combination of estrus and anestrus. Ratios of estrus to anestrus vary among studies from 74%:26% to 17%:83%.

CHORULON is indicated for the intramuscular use in cows for the treatment of **nymphomania (frequent or constant heat)** due to cystic ovaries.

Note from asker:
Thanks, but as the text goes on to say it has nothing to do with the reproductive organs of the animal and is a chest problem (obviously well wide of the mark) I can not give it such a precise scientific name
Peer comment(s):

neutral British Diana : but what would a farmer have called this in 1805?
