This is the second mastitis handbook to offer practical advice to help control clinical mastitis. The aim is to give the reader a thorough understanding of the bacteria that cause clinical mastitis, how these enter the udder and how to prevent infections occurring. The key focus is on practical solutions and there is an in depth explanation of the milking routine, management of the environment, dry period infections and other factors that can influence clinical mastitis. The use of mastitis records to help quantify mastitis and also pinpoint possible causes are described in detail, as are the economic consequences. This book is filled with photographs, figures and diagrams to give a clear explanation of the key points. This book is a follow-up to the first handbook on how to control somatic cell counts. The cell count book follows a similar format giving an in-depth understanding of what cell counts are and why they are important, the bacteria responsible for high cell counts and how a herd goes about reducing cell counts to target levels. The book covers how to stop the spread of infection and how to manage high cell count cows. Both books have top tip sections summarising the key points to successful mastitis management. Both books are intended for farmers, herdsman, vets and anyone else who has an interest in mastitis control.
