Now is the perfect time to look at your management plans and goals for the new year. Maintaining or continuing to improve the udder health on your farm should be a part of your action plan. The first step is resolving to prevent and attack MP3s on your farm - the three major mastitis pathogens (strep ag, staph aureus and mycoplasma).

Dr. Allen Britten’’s Udder Health Talk today focused on routine monthly bulk tank cultures in an effort to check the composite milk quality of your herd. By implementing routine checks, you will be able to catch the MP3s before they spread to other members of the herd and cause significant economic loss to your farm.
