With a new year upon us, Dr. Allen Britten encourages all dairy producers to review the udder health and milk quality plan on your farm. The topic for today on the second half of the DairyLine Radio program is Udder Health. Click the play button below to listen to Dr. Britten`s short message.

Have a secure plan on your farm to identify and attack the MP3s - the three major mastitis pathogens (strep ag, staph aureus and mycoplasma). This can be done with monthly bulk tank cultures and routine cultures of fresh and sick cows. Locating and isolating the milk of problem cows will prevent spreading to the healthy members of the herd and result in less dollars down the drain…literally.
