Mastitis in cattle is an udder inflammation often caused by bacterial infection. It leads to reduced milk quality and quantity. Prevention includes good hygiene, proper milking practices, and prompt treatment with antibiotics. Chronic cases may require veterinary attention.

Tips for Prevention of Mastitis Problem in Cattle

Prevent mastitis in cattle with clean bedding, proper milking, and regular udder cleaning. Cull infected cows, ensure a balanced diet, and vaccinate. Quarantine new additions, manage the environment, and use post-milking teat disinfectants. Early detection and veterinary care are vital for a holistic approach to mastitis prevention.
