Abstract

Naturally occurring cases of clinical mastitis (CM) were studied among J-5 vaccinates or controls on three commercial dairy farms. Measures of clinical severity, milk production change and survival in the herd were evaluated for differences between the two groups. Particularly the study looked at protection against being culled with mastitis as the primary reason, including time-to-event analysis.
