Tips on controlling mastitis

Using simple and quick daily, weekly and monthly checks will keep your machine problem free

The success of mastitis control at calving is vitally important to milk quality for the whole lactation as the period around calving is the highest risk period for mastitis infection to occur. 

Cows are very susceptible to infection around calving because their natural defence mechanisms are low. New infections occur and subclinical infections which have persisted through the dry period may flare into clinical cases. Special care in this period will pay off.
