| |Mastitis causing bacteria
| |
|
| |
|
| Contagious mastitis
| |
|
| |
| # - primary source: udders of infected cows,
| |
| # - is spread to other cows primarily at milking time,
| |
| # - results in high bulk tank SCC.
| |
|
| |
| It is caused by:
| |
|
| |
| # Streptococcus agalactiae (> 40% of all infections),
| |
| # Staphylococcus aureus (30 - 40% of all infections).
| |
|
| |
| The S. aureus bacterium is hardly eradicable, but can be reduced to less than 5% of the cows in a herd. The S. agalactiae is fully eradicable from a herd.
| |
|
| |
| Environmental mastitis
| |
|
| |
| # Primary source: the environment of the cow.
| |
| # High rate of clinical mastitis (especially the lower resistant cows, e.g. Early lactation).
| |
| # Individual scc is not necessarily high (less than 300,000 is possible) .
| |
|
| |
| It is caused by:
| |
|
| |
| # environmental steptococci (5 - 10% of all infections).
| |
|
| |
| * Streptococcus uberis.
| |
| * Streptococcus bovis.
| |
| * Streptococcus dysgalactiae.
| |
| * Enterococcus faecium.
| |
| * Enterococcus faecalis.
| |
|
| |
| # - Coliforms (< 1% of all infections):
| |
|
| |
| * Escherichia coli.
| |
| * Klebsiella pneumoniae.
| |
| * Klebsiella oxytoca.
