How Much Does Mastitis Cost You? The only way this question can be answered is to know how much mastitis is in your herd. Mastitis robs you in many ways: reduced milk production; treatment cost; discarded milk; death and premature culling; decreased genetic advancement; and reduced milk quality.

Organic dairy surged into the organic marketplace in the 1990s, establishing ...
متن کاملThe association between herd- and cow- level factors and somatic cell count of Irish dairy cows
Somatic cell count (SCC) is an indicator of both udder health and milk quality and is measured at an animal level through national milk recording schemes. The objective of this study was to assess the animal and herd factors contributing to elevated SCC (i.e. poorer milk quality). Test day records (n = 2,658,928) from 519,456 cow lactations obtained between 2007 and 2011 were included in the an...
متن کاملFarm management factors associated with bulk tank somatic cell count in Irish dairy herds
The relationship between bulk tank somatic cell count (SCC) and farm management and infrastructure was examined using data from 398 randomly selected, yet representative, Irish dairy farms where the basal diet is grazed grass. Median bulk tank SCC for the farms was 282,887 cells/ml ranging from 82,209 to 773,028 cells/ml. Two questionnaires were administered through face-to-face contact with ea...
