A22—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, February 18,1984 Md. RISING SUN, MD - Cecil County Holstein breeders are gearing up to host the 1984 Maryland Holstein Convention and Sale, February 28 and 29, at Sandy Cove resort. Sandy Cove - Morning Cheer, is known for its fantastic food and banquet facilities that overlook the upper reaches of the scenic Chesapeake Bay. The peaceful resort community of Sandy Cove is located south of Northeast, Md on Mastitis is expensive Dairy cows often exhibit no outward symptoms in cases of subclinical mastitis. But such infections do lower milk produc tion, and their presence can be shown by unusually high counts of somatic cells in a farmer’s bulk milk tank. Leaders in mastitis research say that milk in bulk tanks on most dairy farms across the nation would yield somatic cell counts of 400.000 to 800,000 cells per milliliter. Somatic cell counts below 100,000 are necessary to minimize milk yield losses. For merly it was though that counts under 300,000 were satisfactory. Milk starts tasting rancid when the somatic cell count exceeds 400,000. Cheesemaking yields also are reduced. When the somatic cell count exceeds 1.5 million, milk is rejected by wholesale buyers. Recent research at Virginia Tech and the University of Wisconsin indicates that at the 400.000 to 800,000 cell-count level Beef tour set in Del.

Steve which is common on many farms milk production in a dairy herd is reduced at a rate of 1,600 to 2,000 pounds per cow per year. Based on a wholesale price of $l3 per cwt, this means an income loss of $2OB to $260 per cow for dairv farmers, according to Robert R. Peters, an Extension dairy science specialist at the University of Maryland in College Park. When an expansive mastitis education program was conducted recently in Nebraska, somatic cell counts in milk were reduced by 20 percent within one year. This translated into savings of more than $1 million for Nebraska dairy farmers. Similar results could happen in Maryland, Dr. Peters believes. The critical factor will be a large turnout at next month’s Extension - sponsored mastitis control educational meetings in 25 locations in the state, ranging from western Maryland to the Eastern Shore.
