Remember These: WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO KNOW THE CAUSE OF MASTITIS? Research has indicated that only 3-4 out of 10 cases of mastitis will benefit from anti- microbial therapy; e.g. mild cases of E. coli as well as culture negative cases do not benefit from antimicrobial therapy. Therefore, farmers save a lot of money in labor, drug costs, and milk discard by adopting a pathogen-based mastitis therapy management program. Additionally, knowing the cause of your mastitis problem will help devise strategies to prevent the problem. For instance, if S. aureus is the primary pathogen, identifying and culling infected animals as well as making appropriate improvements in milking routine will help decrease the spread of this contagious disease.
