Wondering about the economics of five days of intramammary treatment for all non-severe cases of clinical mastitis? UW-Extension Milk Quality Veterinarian Pam Ruegg and Extension Dairy Management Specialist Victor Cabrera conducted a study to develop a decision tree to evaluate the economic impact of different durations of intramammary treatment for the first case of milk or moderate clinical mastitis occurring in early lactation. To learn more about their study please visit their Journal of Dairy Science article Decision Tree Analysis of Treatment Strategies For Mild & Moderate Cases of Clinical Mastitis Occurring in Early Lactation.
