Lago et al (2008) reported that the adoption of an on-farm culture (OFC) system to guide strategic treatment decisions resulted in a reduction in antibiotic use, but no decrease in bacteriological cure risk for mild or moderate cases of clinical mastitis (CM). The objective of this abstract is to describe the effect of the aforementioned treatment program on other short and long term outcomes after CM.
