Mastitis diagnostics: How to get started

Abstract

As new graduates, we are all trying to find our “place” in the veterinary world. I will discuss how I found my niche within the practice and have watched it grow over the last several years. For me, it started as a particular interest that expanded to be a good revenue generator for the practice, and a way for me to learn more about dairy practice and help clients with milk quality. I will also discuss considerations for starting your own in-clinic lab, as well as considerations for on-farm culture.
