Virginians Take
Cell Counts

respond to an antibiotic • in
termammary treatment, the
dairyman will use a compatible
antibiotic intravenously.
“This is where I’m different,”
Frye admits. “I treat a lot longer
than most people usually two to
three milkings after the last
clinical sign of mastitis is gone.
I’ve found I don’t get quite as many
flare-backs by doing it that way.
On an average I loose 10 days of
milk on a cow I treat with a herd
average of 65 pounds a day at $l2 a
hundred plus medicine, it’s ex
pensive.” But still worth it, he
feels.
“Cows with lower cell counts
give more milk and mastitis can
cut your production considerably.
He’s also contagious, expensive
and time consuming. It takes
longer to milk them out and treat
them.”
Like the other dairymen, Frye
will sanitize the milkers between
healthy and infected cows and
after milking each infected
animal. He also treats all of his dry
cows in each quarter and tries to
reduce any stress by providing
clean facilities and well balanced
rations.
“It all ties in together and it’s
whatever you feel works best for
you,” he concludes.
Pennsylvania Milk
Consumption Patterns
(Continued from Page A 22)
fluid milk consumption will
decrease with the greatest
negative effect on whole milk.
Seasonal Influence
Season of the year was thought to
have an important influence on
milk consumption. Other studies
have found that milk consumption
tends to be higher in some times of
the year than in others. Certainly,
one important time is when school
is in season.
Time of the year was separated
into three periods: January
through April, May through
August, and September through
December. Milk consumption in
the first and third period was
measured against milk con
sumption in May through August
which are typically associated
with the lowest consumption levels
of the year.
Editor’s Note:
To be continued. The results of
Jack Kirkland’s study on milk
consumption will be printed in next
week’s issue.
