Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Economics
  • Dairy Science
  • Animal Health

Background:

  • Mastitis poses a significant economic challenge to the dairy industry.
  • Annual losses in New York dairy farms are substantial due to reduced milk production, treatment expenses, and culling.
  • An estimated $150 million is lost annually in New York when processing sector losses are included.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To estimate the economic impact of mastitis on the New York dairy sector.
  • To evaluate the potential economic benefits of novel mastitis treatments, specifically a bacteriocin and a vaccine.
  • To project the financial gains for the New York dairy industry from adopting these new treatments.

Main Methods:

  • Economic modeling to estimate mastitis-related costs per cow and sector-wide.
  • Analysis of preliminary trial data for a bacteriocin and a vaccine against Staphylococcus aureus.
  • Projection of potential income increases based on the assumed effectiveness of new treatments against major mastitis pathogens.

Main Results:

  • The average cost of mastitis is estimated at $125 per cow, totaling approximately $100 million annually for New York dairy farms.
  • When processing losses are included, the total annual cost to the New York dairy industry approaches $150 million.
  • New treatments (bacteriocin and vaccine) show potential to increase annual income by $18.8 to $39.7 million.

Conclusions:

  • Mastitis incurs substantial economic losses for the New York dairy sector.
  • Novel treatments, including a bacteriocin and a vaccine, demonstrate promise in mitigating mastitis costs and enhancing profitability.
  • These advancements offer potential for reduced antibiotic use and improved herd immunity against mastitis.
