Regular Tests Help Control Mastitis In Dairy Herds
Dr. Albert Drury of Michigan State University urges teamwork among dairymen veterinarians and lab staff to prevent mastitis losses. Mastitis costs dairy farmers 226 million dollars annually, surpassing tuberculosis brucellosis and vibriosis combined. Regular herd checks every three to five months via lab tests help manage mastitis as a herd problem rather than an individual illness.
