[Organizing mastitis control (author's transl)]

F H Jaartsveld

    Tijdschrift Voor Diergeneeskunde
    |June 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Organized mastitis control programs effectively reduce losses from subclinical mastitis. Herd milk somatic cell counts (SCC) are key for detecting mastitis problems and monitoring milk quality, aiding control efforts.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Dairy Science
    • Animal Health

    Context:

    • Mastitis causes significant economic losses in dairy herds, impacting both clinical and subclinical cases.
    • Effective mastitis control requires systematic detection and management strategies.
    • Herd milk somatic cell counts (SCC) serve dual purposes: assessing milk quality and identifying herds with mastitis issues.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of organized mastitis control programs.
    • To highlight the role of herd milk SCC in detecting mastitis prevalence.
    • To discuss strategies for farm-level mastitis management.

    Summary:

    • Organized mastitis control programs are essential for mitigating economic losses.
    • Herd milk SCC are the primary tool for identifying herds affected by mastitis.
    • Farm-specific interventions include hygiene, climate control, milking procedures, and culling.
    • Recent decreases in SCC in the southern Netherlands are attributed to improved milking equipment and educational initiatives.

    Impact:

    • Successful mastitis control leads to reduced economic losses and improved animal welfare.
    • The consistent reduction in herd milk SCC validates the efficacy of control measures.
    • Enhanced milk quality and herd health contribute to a more sustainable dairy industry.
