Mastitis (udder inflammation) is the most costly disease among dairy cows. Swedish studies show that first parity cows often have udder infections and mastitis at calving, which may have considerable negative effects on their milk production and longevity, but that the prevalence varies among farms. The long-term aim is therefore to increase milk production, and improve milk quality and longevity of first parity cows by preventing udder health problems before and at calving. Specific aims are to identify 1) prevalence of different milk somatic cell count patterns in newly calved heifers in Swedish dairy farms, 2) management and housing factors before and at calving that reduce the risk for poor udder health in newly calved heifers, 3) associations between bacterial prevalence on udder skin during different periods of heifer rearing and udder infections at calving, and 4) practical advice that will promote good udder health in newly calved heifers and spread these to interested parties.
Mastit (juverinflammation) är den mest kostsamma sjukdomen bland mjölkkor. Enligt svenska studier är det vanligt att kvigor kalvar in med juverinfektion och mastit, vilket kan leda till avsevärda negativa konsekvenser för deras mjölkproduktion och hållbarhet, men att förekomsten varierar mellan besättningar. Projektets långsiktiga syfte är därför att öka mjölkproduktionen och förbättra mjölkens kvalité som livsmedel samt att öka hållbarheten hos förstakalvarna genom att förebygga juverhälsoproblem före och vid kalvning. De specifika målen är att identifiera 1) förekomst av olika mjölkcelltalsmönster hos nykalvade kvigor i svenska besättningar, 2) skötsel- och inhysningsfaktorer före och vid kalvning som minskar risken för dålig juverhälsa hos nykalvade kvigor, 3) samband mellan bakterieförekomst på juvret under kvigans uppväxt och juverinfektioner hos nykalvade kvigor och 4) praktiska råd som ger god juverhälsa hos nykalvade kvigor och sprida dessa till olika intressenter.
