The Risk Factor of Post-Calving Mastitis and Mitigating This Factor with Inoculating Antibiotics

The risk factor of post-calving mastitis was revealed. The udder, for which the milk resembled an inflammatory effusion at 14 days before calving, tended to be infected by mastitis-causing microbes (P＜0.05) or exhibited a low level of lactoferrin during the non-lactating period. This udder posed a h...

Summary:The risk factor of post-calving mastitis was revealed. The udder, for which the milk resembled an inflammatory effusion at 14 days before calving, tended to be infected by mastitis-causing microbes (P＜0.05) or exhibited a low level of lactoferrin during the non-lactating period. This udder posed a high risk of post-calving mastitis. When antibiotics were inoculated in the microbe-positive udder during the non-lactating period, the milk resembled a starch syrup (low-risk of post-calving mastitis) at 14 days before calving.
