mastitis management

Managing mastitis - and subsequently improving udder health and milk quality - is one of Canadian dairy farmer's greatest concerns. While vaccines and teat sealants help many Canadian herds get a handle on mastitis, day-to-day management strategies on topics like milking procedures, barn and cow environments, bedding, health and nutrition, are critical to prevent and manage mastitis in the dairy herd. Luckily, Canadian dairy farmers have many resources available to help establish, review and refine these strategies. Comprehensive information on mastitis management is available through the following organizations:

internal teat sealants

Internal teat sealants (ITS) work by simulating a cow’s natural first line of defense, the keratin plug, to seal the teat against harmful bacteria by providing a sterile, antibiotic-free barrier that prevents pathogens from invading the udder through the teat end.

Proper administration is key to ITS success. The Canadian Mastitis Network has developed recommended protocols for ITS administration. Understanding these protocols is an important step in getting the most out of your ITS.
