Adviser Support Resources
Countdown Mastitis Focus is easy to produce and easy to read
- and it's free!
The program uses standard industry files (Data Interchange
Format)
and even limited amounts of data will produce a meaningful and helpful report.
Some of your farmers may start to receive reports from
their herd improvement centre or you can generate one for them. You can access
the Countdown Mastitis Focus Report writer at
www.mastitisfocus.com.au.
As an adviser you can play an
important role in farmers understanding their report and making informed
mastitis management decisions.
