We carry out mastitis referral visits to investigate problems with high somatic cell counts, bactoscan and/or high levels of clinical mastitis. These visits may be carried out at the request of the dairy farmer, his veterinarian, a dairy or pharmaceutical company.
Analysis of individual cow cell counts, clinical mastitis records, bacteriology results, cell count and bactoscan results from the milk buyer and past milking machine test reports are also looked at.
All areas relating to mastitis are investigated from the environment, milking routine, treatment, dry cow therapy and use of teat sealers, parlour function and records. A dynamic milking machine test and assessment of teats will be carried out along with an assessment of all areas relating to the milking machine.
