The high prevalence of contagious mastitis is one of the main biological barriers for the improvement of milk quality in Brazil. Among contagious mastitis pathogens, intramammary infections caused by Streptococcus agalactiae result in great economic losses, due to reduction in milk production, increase in costs with mastitis treatments and milk discard, and decrease of milk value and indu…
Due to the control and eradication of contagious pathogens in herds that produce high quality milk, environmental clinical mastitis (CM) has become one of the main emerging problems. Clinical mastitis results in financial losses and its treatment is the main cause of milk contamination with antibiotic residues. Little is known about the risk factors that determine the occurrence of repeat…
The compost bedded pack housing system for dairy cows has been increasingly used worldwide due to a dramatic decrease in the environmental impact caused by animal waste. Reports by dairy producers and few descriptive studies conducted in North America suggest that an improvement in the animal welfare indexes can be observed for most herds after transition from the conventional (freestall)…
Mastitis is the most prevalent disease of dairy cows. Economic losses involve reduction in milk production, drugs, discarded milk, veterinary care, labor and quality penalties. The occurrence of mastitis in the immediate postpartum period and its impact on milk production is still little studied in Brazil, in a tropical climate. Thus, the objectives of this project are: 1) to describe the…
Clinical mastitis (CM) is the main reason for antimicrobial usage in dairy herds, as well as an important animal welfare concern. It has been demonstrated that 30 to 50% of CM cases result in no bacterial growth and do not require antimicrobial therapy. Thus, dairy farmers have used on-farm milk culturing systems, in which milk of all CM cases is plated on selective media with the aim of …
Somatic Cell Count (SCC) and Total Bacterial Count (TBC) are reference methods to assess the quality of raw milk stored in collective bulk tanks. One of the issues resulting from the use of collective bulk tanks is the mixture of milks of different qualities within the same tank. Producers who deliver low quality milk negatively influence the quality of the bulk milk, leading to payment p…
