Abstract

The first objective was to measure the effectiveness of mastitis control practices in herds with high WMT scores.

The second objective was to measure the effectiveness of 400 mg of novobiocin when used as the nonlactating period infusion component of the program, when novobiocinpenicillin was routinely used for intramammary infusion of infected lactating glands.

A third objective, in the event a herd did not respond, was to attempt to learn the reason or reasons for this failure.
