Area of Science:

  • Animal Science
  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Data Science

Background:

  • Mastitis is a significant concern in dairy cattle, impacting herd health and productivity.
  • Somatic cell scores (SCS) are key indicators of udder infection and inflammation.
  • Effective mastitis management requires timely and accurate trend analysis of herd SCS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop analytical routines for identifying significant trends in herd DHI somatic cell scores.
  • To utilize these trends as input for a data-driven decision support system for mastitis management.
  • To analyze trends across the entire herd, parity groups, and lactation stages.

Main Methods:

  • Developed analytical routines to determine trends in DHI somatic cell scores over six sample periods.

  • Split herds into two groups to account for within-herd variation.
  • Applied linear regression and two-way ANOVA to analyze SCS trends by parity and lactation stage.

    • Main Results:

    • Identified significant trends in somatic cell scores across different parity and lactation stage groups.
    • The analysis revealed patterns indicative of mastitis risk factors.
    • Results were converted to facts for an embedded expert system.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed analytical routines effectively identify herd-specific SCS trends.
    • This data-driven approach enhances decision-making for mastitis management in dairy cattle.
    • The system provides valuable insights for proactive herd health strategies.
