Likewise, farmers who are milking cows once a day for February have a higher risk of picking up mastitis also. This mastitis risk is the trade-off between having a more manageable workload for this busy month and milking cows twice a day.
Identify and treat cows early. Spend time pre-stripping and cleaning teats before milking. Isolate affected cows and milk them last, along with other problem cows such as kickers, short teats etc. You will have more time to deal with them at the end. If there is a cell count problem, do a milk recording now.
