Mastitis outbreaks are frustrating and costly, but proper milk sampling and knowing when to test helps!

By testing milk samples, farmers can identify the specific bacteria causing the infection and adjust their treatment plans accordingly.

Early detection of harmful pathogens like Mycoplasma and Staph. aureus leads to more effective masitits treatment, improved udder health, and fewer recurring cases.

Working hand-in-hand with the veterinarian to interpret these results can also help create a proactive mastitis control plan.
