AgSource is committed to helping you produce high quality milk to increasing your profitability. AgSource offers a variety of solutions to help control the mastitis loss in your herd. Let's face it - no one likes to throw money down the drain.
Mastitis robs dairy producers of nearly $200 per cow annually. This cheats you in various ways: decreased milk productions, treatment cost, discarded milk, death and premature culling and plummeted milk quality and premiums. And no one has to put a "hassle" value on time spent milking mastitic cows last, hand stripping them and the time treating infected cows.
One infected quarter shrinks production 1,600 pounds per lactation. Each linear cell count increase above level 2 decreases milk production by 400 pounds.
You can't afford premium and production losses due to somatic cell counts in your herd.
