About The Webinar
Despite major improvements made since the 1960s which reduced both clinical cases and cell counts, mastitis still remains a major problem within the dairy industry, having effects on the health, welfare and productivity of dairy cows. In this webinar, Ian McCrone gives an introduction to the causes and epidemiology of infections causing both clinical and subclinical mastitis in dairy cows. He looks into mastitis control, including the ideal milking procedure, mastitis therapy and management of dry cows, and provides an overview of the investigation of mastitis problems on farms, advising on how to identify problems.
