This film explains what clinical mastitis is, how to accurately detect it and what to do when you find it. Some farmers treat cows that don’t have clincal mastitis, the most common disease in dairy cows. Follow the ten strip rule so you are examining milk from the milk producing tissue where mastitis is found. This is the accurate way to detect mastitis. Remember, if milk is normal after ten strips then the cow does not have mastitis. If the milk has clots or abnormalities after ten strips then she has mastitis. You can contact your vet or livestock technican on the best treatment.
