The mildly infected cows are losing 45 to 90 pounds of milk per month and are likely can didates to become clinical cases. Such cows are potential sources of bacteria to infect healthy cows and should be isolated from the other cows if contagious mastitis is a problem in the herd. Milk these cows last or with separate milking equipment It is generally not practical to treat these cows with antibiotics. Reviewing your DHIA SCS information can provide important clues as to the sources of you mas titis problem and help you to improve your mastitis control program. Is the mastitis in your herd caused by contagious or environmental bacteria, or both kinds? Environmental mastitis tends to occur early in lactation and affected cows have elevated SCS for short durations. Environmental mastitis can be controlled by cleaning up the environment espe cially the bedding areas. Change bedding types and if possible use sand as a bedding. Sand will not allow the environ mental bacteria to grow. You should woik to eliminate standing water and mud.

Reduce the use of water during udder preparation, keep udders clean, and clip or singe udder hair. Finally, eliminate “squawking,” otherwise known as liner slipping, particularly at the end of milking. Contagious mastitis is more likely to occur later in lactation and cows, typically have elevated SCS month after month. To combat this type of mastitis consider changing milking procedures, pay particular attention to teat dipping and dry cow therapy. Prevent teat sores and isolate cows that arc known to be infected. These measures tend to reduce the transmission of the disease to uninfected cows and slowly reduces the number of new cases of contagious mastitis. In a herd with contagious masti tis, progress in reducing herd SCS can be slow especially if problem cows are not isolated. An increase in the percentage of cows with SCS of 0,1, and 2 indi cates progress is being made, even when other signs are discouraging. Your DHIA SCS report will be your best monitor of progress. We have discussed some of the uses of SCS to monitor individual cows, and will next (in a future article) talk about using SCS to monitor cow groups. The impor tant point here is that preventing one case of clinical mastitis can pay for-the DHIA testing of 119 cows for a year.
