Milk Sampling is Key to Mastitis Control
Milk Sampling enables identification of the causative pathogen and the appropriate controls to be actioned.
Before any diagnostics tests take the right steps for successful milk sampling.

New Diagram:
GRADE 1
Mild Clinical Mastitis
No clinical signs, milk clots only
Bacteriological testing for pathogen identification
🡪 treatment decision
A diagnostic tool to identify the pathogen(s) causing mastitis, at the same time indicating the respective sensitivity to anti-biotic treatment
Identify Gram –ve or Gram +ve bacteria in milk samples within an 8-24 hour period
| No growth | Gram negative | Gram positive | |
|---|---|---|---|
| No Antibiotic + monitor cow | |||
| Staphylococcus or Streptococcus | Staphylococcus betalactamase resistent | ||
| Antibiotic intramammary tubes | Antibiotic intramammary tubes | ||
GRADE 2
Moderate Clinical Mastitis
Udder clinical signs only & T<39°C
NSAID
(Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs)
Bacteriological testing for pathogen identification
🡪 treatment decision
A diagnostic tool to identify the pathogen(s) causing mastitis, at the same time indicating the respective sensitivity to anti-biotic treatment
- In-clinic or on-farm

Review Milk Recording data | |
|---|---|
| Individual cow cell count results provide an essential part of the evidence to select cows for treatment. Take into account a cow’s last three SCCs, its teat end quality, and look at whether it has had a case of clinical mastitis within the last three months. Low SCC cows – teat sealant only High SCC cows - Intramammary DC tubes | |
