Abstract

Mastitis, Bovine - prevention & control Risk Factors Mycoplasma Infections - prevention & control Euthanasia, Animal Dairying - methods Anti-Bacterial Agents - therapeutic use Animals Time Factors Cattle Mycoplasma Infections - veterinary Mycoplasma - isolation & purification Female Hygiene
Factors associated with time to clearance of mycoplasma mastitis were studied in 18 dairy cattle herds. Most herds cleared mycoplasma mastitis within 1 month; < 50% of the herds culled diseased cows preferentially, yet culling was not associated with hastened clearance. Other known mastitis biosecurity and management practices were not associated with clearance time.
