    This study introduces calculator programs to estimate subclinical mastitis economic losses and control costs in dairy herds. These tools help assess the cost-benefit of treatment strategies for improved herd management.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Dairy Science
    • Agricultural Economics

    Background:

    • Subclinical mastitis significantly impacts dairy production through reduced milk yield and increased control costs.
    • Accurate economic assessment is crucial for effective mastitis management strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and describe programmable calculator programs for estimating subclinical mastitis economic losses.
    • To provide a cost-benefit analysis framework for mastitis control programs.
    • To aid in decision-making regarding treatment regimens for lactating dairy cows.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized California Mastitis Test (CMT) evaluations to estimate milk loss.
    • Developed cost profiles for various control measures including towels, teat dips, and dry cow treatments.

  • Calculated the cost-benefit of mass antibiotic treatment during lactation.

    • Main Results:

    • Programs enable rapid calculation of current subclinical mastitis economic losses.
    • Cost estimations for different control strategies are provided.
    • Decision support for herd-wide lactation treatment is presented.

    Conclusions:

    • Programmable calculators offer a practical tool for dairy farmers to assess and manage subclinical mastitis.
    • Informed decisions on control programs and treatment can mitigate economic impacts.
    • The programs facilitate efficient economic evaluation for dairy herd health.
