Well managed dairy herds frequently have significant clinical mastitis problems due to Strep species, Staph species and other common environmental organisms. In addition, somatic cell counts in these same types of herds frequently are higher than management would like to see. Properly cleaning teat ends prior to unit attachment will significantly reduce the incidence of common environmental mastitis cases.
