Symposium: Mastitis Control

Methods and Progress¹

Department of Animal Science, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14850

ABSTRACT

Introduction

Mastitis has been and continues to be the most costly dairy cattle disease confronting the dairy farmer. This is true in spite of a large amount of research and extension effort that has been directed towards solving the problem.

A true mastitis control program must be directed towards the prevention of the disease.

When a disease does exist on the farm, as it does with mastitis, the control program must be directed towards eliminating the existing problem and preventing further problems.

Today we want to look at the components of a mastitis control program. This will include an over-all view of developing a mastitis control problem, followed by a discussion of the individual components of the program, which include sanitation, management, therapy, and vaccination. This will be followed by a discussion of the Interstate Milk Shippers' Abnormal Milk Control Program.

¹ Symposium presented at the Sixty-third Annual Meeting of the American Dairy Science Association, The Ohio State University, Columbus, June 19. 1968.
