Abstract

Control of bovine mastitis is predicated on a reduction in the rate of udder infection and a decrease in duration of existing udder infections.10 The duration of udder infection is affected by therapy, spontaneous cure, death and culling. Rate of udder infection is affected by udder hygiene practices, milking procedures and milking machine function.10 Emphasis will be given to udder hygiene practices in this paper, particularly postmilking teat antisepsis.
