AHI offering free mastitis consultations

The programme is targeted at herds struggling to manage mastitis. There are no eligibility criteria for herdowners that apply

The consult is recommended for farmers seeking to reduce the SCC and improve milk quality, for whom mastitis is costing money, or creating problems for the farmer or the milkers.

The Cell Count Solutions free mastitis consult remains available in 2025.

Piloted in 2022, and available nationally since, these in-lactation consults are funded through the Targeted Advisory Service on Animal Health, supported by the Rural Development Programme, and co-ordinated by Animal Health Ireland.
