Dairynz Tech Series: Dairy Science In Action

In this episode of Talking Dairy, we’re talking about one of the biggest challenges on farm – mastitis. What should you do if your herd test shows high somatic cell count (SCC) cows? How do you find and manage those “invisible” subclinical cases? Our guests, Mike Shallcrass, Fonterra’s Veterinary programme manager, and Jane Lacy-Hulbert, DairyNZ Senior scientist, discuss and share practical tips on monitoring, managing, and minimising mastitis. Tune in to hear expert advice and insights on how to prevent mastitis and improve milk quality. Mastitis management tools and resources:Mastitis | DairyNZContagious Mastitis | DairyNZEnvironmental Mastitis | DairyNZDairyNZ Healthy Udder Shed GuideDairyNZ Staph aureus Factsheet MaxT in the rotary | DairyNZMaxT in the herringbone | DairyNZAgriHealth cowshed chart Have feedback or ideas for future episodes?
