MS Cow Udder SEPIA: Mastitis Number(s) 1 in costs per animal Mastitis: average € 83,= per cow per year € 285,= per mastitis cow (source UGCN, The Netherlands) average € 53,= per cow per year € 250,= per cripple cow Claw: Cost overview mastitis loss of milk € 121 medication € 50 Losses for not supplied milk € 43 Culling € 63

MS Cow Udder SEPIA: Mastitis Cell counts Mastitis  Mastitis is an inflammation of the udder, typically caused by a microbiological infection.(95%)  Many types of microbes can cause infection and they can be transmitted from both  environmental sources (for example, contaminated water, soil, bedding) and from  contagious sources (from other infected cows).  Milk from cows infected with mastitis generally have higher total bacteria counts and somatic cell counts than milk from uninfected cows. Somatic Cells  Somatic cells are cells from the cow (predominantly white blood cells, otherwise known as leukocytes) that are normally present in milk.  During most mastitis infections, the number of somatic cells present in the udder increases to help the cow fight the infection.

MS Cow Udder SEPIA: Mastitis Cell counts Healthy cows will always have a certain cell count In case of mastitis the cell counts increases In case of sufficient resistance the cell counts drops (again) In case of poor resistance the cell counts remains high (chronically infection) <100.000 cells/ml = healthy cow 100.000 – 250.000 = suspicious cow = attention cow >250.000 cells/ml = mastitis suspicious cow (at least 1 udder quarter infected) Note: >150.00 cells/ml = mastitis suspicious heifer (at least 1 udder quarter infected) EU norm = 400.000 (>> = penalty on milk price) Average NL (2011) = 187.000 Average B – VL (2010) = 234.000 Average B – W (2010) = 276.000 USA norm = 750.000 Average USA (2010) = 228.000 CMT test for cell counts

MS Cow Udder SEPIA: Mastitis Mastitis With mastitis we distinct beween clinical and subclinica l mastitis. Both forms occur in the same way (a bacterium that enters the udder), but the way the disorder presents itself is different Clinical mastitis: Characterized by abnormal milk, swelling, pain and sometimes fever. The cell count of the affected quarter is increased. The seriousness of the phenomena depends on cow factors (among other lactation stage) and of the pathogenic properties of the bacterium. The treatment focuses primarily on improving the well- being of the cow (less pain, less sick), healing of the udder and recovery of milk production Subclinical mastitis: Characterized by: No abnormalities to milk or udder visible The cow exhibits no signs of disease. Increased cell counts as well as increased conductivity Here is the treatment primarily focused on healing of the damaged udder and this on reducing the infection pressure

MS Cow Udder SEPIA: Mastits Microbiology Bacteria Contamination via Related to cow (=contagious) Staphylococcus aureus Liners, skin, udder cloths, farmers hands Streptococcus agalactiae Cow tot cow = cross contamination Related to environment Colifoms (E-coli) Straw, manure, drinking water and (wet) polluted udder cloths Streptococcus uberis Straw (litter) and contamination by surroundings during milking, polluted cubicles, Klebsiella Polluted bedding/sawdust Related to environment – cow (= contagious) Streptococcus dysgalactia Damage of teats due to poor housing and/or poor operating milking machine Coagulase negative staphylococcus Collective name for several environment and cow related mastitis causing micro- organisms

MS Cow Udder SEPIA: Mastitis Guidelines Mastitis – Improvement guide lines  Proper housing  Optimal feed  Good hygiene before and during milking  Optimal operating milking machine (check 2x per annum)  Cows with high cell counts (>200.000) to be milked last  Regular microbiological tests to be executed on “attention” cows  Treat mastitis according description producer of medication  Register treatment and results  Remove chronically mastitis cases from the herd (>4 months “attention” cow)  Apply appropriate dry cow therapy  Follow the dry cow therapy for “attention” cows by microbiological tests  Consult with your veterinarian on a regular base And last but not least: Use a proper teat dip or spray after milking

MS Cow Udder MS Cow Udder SEPIA SEPIA 2 major considerations

MS Cow Udder SEPIA: Udder care Udder care: To be split in 2 major considerations The skin The streak canal Skin Streak canal Stressed by milking and environment Potential entrance of bacteria

MS Cow Udder SEPIA: Udder care The skin A skin in a good condition offers protection against cold, heat, sunlight (UV light), pain, loss of moisture, loss of heat, water, dirt, pressure, abrasions, wounds, and infections The skin also offers support to the structure body (strength), heat regulation, dispose of waste, transpiration, sensation/detection, storage of fat, production vitamin D and much more UDDER CARE = SKIN CARE & PROTECTION

MS Cow Udder SEPIA: Udder care The skin and its residents Residential flora (Contagious?) The permanent residents of the skin. Normally innocent, Never able to be removed for full 100%. Pathogenic species are f.e. Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus and others Transient flora (Environment related?) The micro-organisms are impermanent and often taken up from the environment. Species found are f.e. Clostridia, Salmonella, E-coli and more. They are normally more easy to be removed by water and soap than the residential flora Layers of oil, hair and dead skin make detach more difficult

MS Cow Udder SEPIA: Udder care The skin should be clean, but…… Results before washing Poor cleaning A skin which is clean and in good condition will contribute to health and protection. Results after washing Cleaning is nevertheless to be accompanied with a clear message. Good; otherwise better not!!.

MS Cow Udder SEPIA: Udder care The streak/teat canal Mastitis results when bacteria pass through the teat canal, overcome the defenses in milk and multiply. Organisms pass through the teat canal in several ways: 1 . Between milking (Risk period of up to 1 hour after milking = teat canal open. High risk 30-120 seconds after milking) Organisms pass through the teat canal by multiplying inside the canal. 2. During machine milking , Organisms may be propelled into through the teat canal into the teat cistern and udder UDDER CARE = TEAT CANAL PROTECTION

MS Cow Udder SEPIA: Udder care Post-treatment (treatment after milking) The benefits to be gained from post-treatment:  Exclude penetration of the teat canal  protects  prevents cross contaminations  cares and (re)conditions  disinfects

MS Cow Udder SEPIA: Udder care A little chemistry • PVP Iodine: Polyvinylpyrrolidon-Iodine, Iodine CAS: 125655-41-8 2,5 -5,0% (2,5000 ppm) • Glycerol: Glycerine CAS 56-81-5 • Allantoin: Allanton, Allantan CAS 97-59-6 • Propylene glycol: Methyl Ethyl Glycol (MEG) CAS 57-55-6 • Nonionic and anionic surfactants, thickening agents and auxiliary agents

MS Cow Udder SEPIA: Udder care PVP Iodine Polyvinylpyrrolidon-Iodine, Iodine Povidone-iodine is a broad spectrum antiseptic for topical application in the treatment and prevention of infection in wounds and openings. Initially developed for human applications. Belongs to the group of oxidizing disinfectants and offer quick action at low temperatures. (oxidizing = low temperature, quick action, no resistance, low fouling tolerance) Contains 1.100 ppm total Iodine (reservoir), corresponding with some 8 -10 ppm available Iodine, which is responsible for microbiocidal activity. Available Iodine being reacted away, will be complemented from the reservoir (auto- recovery) again
