Milk quality issues: what
does it take to get somatic cell count down to 100,000 and keep
it ther? |
Mastitis continues to be the most costly disease
problem in the dairy industry. Control of the contagious pathogens
Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus agalactiae through effective
programs of milking hygiene, dry cow therapy, postmilking use
of germicidal teat dips and culling chronic cows has resulted
in the eradication of S. agalactiae from many dairy herds and
markedly reduced incidence of S. aureus. However, herds which
have effectively controlled contagious pathogens and routinely
produce milk of high quality with low bulk tank somatic cell counts
may still suffer losses due to infections by environmental
Mastitis continues to be the most costly disease problem in the
dairy industry. Control of the contagious pathogens Staphylococcus
aureus and Streptococcus agalactiae through effective programs
of milking hygiene, dry cow therapy, postmilking use of germicidal
teat dips and culling chronic cows has resulted in the eradication
of S. agalactiae from many dairy herds and markedly reduced incidence
of S. aureus. However, herds which have effectively controlled
contagious pathogens and routinely produce milk of high quality
with low bulk tank somatic cell counts may still suffer losses
due to infections by environmental mastitis pathogens. In addition,
such herds may experience seasonal or management-related outbreaks
that increase the bulk tank somatic cell count accompanied by
increased incidence of clinical cases. Since the reservoirs for
the environmental pathogens include soil, feces and bedding, cattle
are constantly exposed to these organisms at some level, and no
single control procedure seems to be effective for all environmental
organisms. However, some management approaches and new developments
in enhancing disease resistance may provide progress toward controlling
this disease complex. |
