Abstract

Seventy six dairy herds with initial prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus IMI 3 10% were included in this study. Farm managers did not elect to change teat dipping or dry cow treatment practices, were not segregating cows that were positive for S. aureus at the initial visit, and did not cull >50% of those found positive on the initial visit.
