A pathogen-specific approach towards udder health management in dairy herds: Using culture and somatic cell counts from routine herd investigations

Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 2016
A dedicated udder health diagnostic programme was developed and used over a 15-year period in South Africa to analyse milk samples based on microbiological and cytological patterns within various groups and for individual cows and udder quarters in dairy

The Dissemination of a Single Staphylococcusaureus Strain, Spa-t2873, as the Predominant Cause of Bovine Mastitis in Israeli Dairy Farms

Veterinary Sciences, 2022
Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most important pathogens causing intramammary infection (IMI) in dairy herds. The goals of this study were (1) to describe the prevalence of S.

Pilot study into milk haptoglobin as an indicator of udder health in heifers after calving [PDF]

, 2018
Mastitis, inflammation of the mammary gland, is often caused by intramammary infection with bacterial organisms. It impacts on dairy cattle welfare, production, udder health and longevity in the herd.

Udder Health in the Periparturient Period

Journal of Dairy Science, 1988
The periparturient period is associated with rapid differentiation of secretory parenchyma, intense mammary growth, copious synthesis and secretion, and marked accumulation of colostrum and milk. Udder health during this time is an important factor associated with the production of maximum quantities of high quality milk.

Association between Udder and Quarter Level Indicators and Milk Somatic Cell Count in Automatic Milking Systems

Animals, 2021
Automatic Milking Systems (AMS) record a lot of information, at udder and quarter level, which can be useful for improving the early detection of altered udder health conditions.

Effect of Overmilking on Udder Health

Journal of Dairy Science, 1982
This study evaluated the effect on udder health of extending the milking period with or without vacuum fluctuation. Eighty cows were allotted into treatment groups consisting of 1) Control milked with normal milking equipment and the milker removed as soon as milk flow ceases; 2) milked for 12 min with normal equipment; 3) milked 12 min with induced ...

Physiological Aspects of Milk Somatic Cell Count in Small Ruminants—A Review

Dairy, 2022
The aim of this review was to focus on the physiological aspects of milk somatic cell count (SCC) in small ruminants (SM). The SCC is an important component naturally present in milk and is generally used as an indicator of milk quality and udder health ...

Combining total and differential somatic cell count to better assess the association of udder health status with milk yield, composition and coagulation properties in cattle

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2020
The combined use of somatic cell count (SCC) and differential somatic cell count (DSCC), which is the ratio of neutrophils plus lymphocytes to total milk SCC, represents a novel approach to define cow’s udder health status, as it allows to identify ...

Quantifying Preferences of Farmers and Veterinarians for National Animal Health Programs: The Example of Bovine Mastitis and Antimicrobial Usage in Switzerland

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2017
Bovine udder health in Switzerland is of a relatively high level. However, antimicrobial usage (AMU) seems high in comparison to other European countries also.
