Mastitis Focus

 

 

Introducing Countdown Mastitis Focus

Mastitis in your herd costs you money. Every case of clinical mastitis costs your farm at least $200. That’s
$1000 missed income for every five clinical cases! – money that could be spent on upgrading equipment, relief labour or even a holiday!

Now for the first time, Australian dairy farmers can obtain a comprehensive snapshot of mastitis control in their herds through a free Countdown Mastitis Focus report. 

Its development is an initiative of Dairy Australia and the Herd Improvement Industry to assist farmers make better decisions about mastitis management in their herds. The report identifies problem areas and potential risks to udder health, and gives farmers and their advisers a way of tracking progress in the herd after changes are made.

Utilising farm records kept at your herd improvement organisation and on your farm PC, a Countdown Mastitis Focus report can now be generated for your farm.
