Abstract

High fluctuating total bacteria counts of between 7000 and 74?000/ml together with a somatic cell count of 882?000/ml in the same month prompted the herdowner to request a mastitis investigation. Mastitis incidence averaged 3.5 clinical cases/100 cows per month for the past 7 months. Streptococcus agalactiae was isolated from a bulk tank milk sample.
