Dorset: Milk quality and mastitis – Managing udder health on your farm

You are invited to join us for this informative meeting on milk quality, understanding mastitis and udder health, hosted by AHDB and Barber’s Farmhouse Cheesemakers.

Understanding mastitis and udder health on farm can lead to more saleable, better quality milk, improved cow welfare and lower antibiotic usage.

The risk factors leading to poor udder health are unique to each farm, so it is important to know how to use the available data to assess your farm and prevent health breakdowns.

What this meeting will cover

James Breen, Clinical Veterinary Consultant with Map of Ag, will join us to discuss:

• Understanding mastitis patterns
• Importance of recording clinical event data
• Clinical mastitis events – where do infections come from?
• Treatment options
• What to do when you get home to your herd
