How to prevent cow mastitis

1. Strengthen management and reduce breast infections. 1 Establish a stable and well-trained team of milkers. 2 Doing a good job in environmental sanitation, preventing bacteria from multiplying, and keeping the environment and cattle clean are the key to prevention and control measures. 3 Create a good environment and reduce stress factors. In the summer, we should do a good job of preventing heatstroke and cool down, create a good “artificial microclimate”, keep the cowshed quiet, and allow the cow to live in the best environment.

2. Strengthen milking hygiene and execute milking procedures. 1 The cow bed should be cleaned and the bovine body, especially the hindquarters, must be cleaned before milking. 2 Before milking, it is best to wash the breast with 200-300 μl/l effective chlorine solution, and then wash the breast thoroughly with a clean towel at 50°C warm water. The three heads of milk should be squeezed into the container and not squeezed on the cow bed. 4 Strengthen the milking worker's hygiene: The milker should be fixed and health inspections should be conducted regularly.

3. Adhere to the nipple bath. The commonly used medicinal bath medicines include 4% sodium hypochlorite, 0.3% to 0.5% chlorhexidine, 0.2% peracetic acid, and 0.5% to 1% iodophors. Medicinal bath precautions: 1 initial use, the drug concentration gradually increased from the low, so that there is a nipple skin adaptation process. 2 When using a new drug solution, several tests should be done first. If there is no response, extend the range. 3 Use of drugs to meet the standards, such as sodium hypochlorite alkali content does not exceed 0.05%. 4 During the winter season, the medicinal bath may be suspended to prevent frostbite and rupture of the nipple.

4. Inject antibacterial drugs into the dry period. The effects are as follows: 1 The mammary glands that had been infected and damaged before calving are repaired and regenerated. 2 To reduce the incidence of new infections during dry milk and reduce the incidence of clinical mastitis before and after childbirth. 3 is more economical and effective than treating clinical mastitis during lactation. 4 After the cows have been treated with dry milk, there is no drug residue in milk and no pollution of fresh milk after the calving. The milk production is increased.

5. Regular monitoring of subclinical mastitis.

6. Timely treatment and elimination of diseased cows.
