Somatic Cell Counts
(Continued from Page 64)
free stalls, bedded areas, lots and pastures should be
clean and dry. Fence off mud holes, swamps and
ponds; fill holes at the gates and exits with gravel. Bed
frequently to keep udders dry and clean.
• Avoid injury to udders especially teat ends.
• Reduce milk machine fall offs, squawks, and
avoid machine stripping.
• Cull chronic problem cows that don’t respond to
treatment.
• Isolate high cell count cows in a hospital group, or
milk high cell count cows last in stall barns. Alterna
tively, use a separate unit for infected cows.
• Identify the predominant organisms causing the
herd problem by culturing a bulk tank sample and 10
or more problem cows (LS 7-9).
