Mastitis and natural support for a healthy udder
Mastitis is one of the most common challenges in dairy farming and can have a major impact on milk production and cow welfare. A healthy udder is essential for good milk production and overall cow health. SCC Bolus offers natural solutions to support dairy farms in managing mastitis without the use of antibiotics.
What is mastitis?
Mastitis is an inflammation of the udder tissue and can occur both clinically and subclinically. In clinical mastitis, the cow shows obvious symptoms such as a swollen and warm udder, flakes or blood in the milk and sometimes fever. Subclinical mastitis is less visible but can be identified by an increased somatic cell count in the milk. This type of mastitis can negatively affect milk quality and production without immediately observable symptoms.
Natural support for mastitis
At SCC Bolus, we develop products that help strengthen cows’ natural resistance, contributing to udder health. Our boluses contain carefully selected ingredients that support the body in restoring natural balance and reducing somatic cell count in milk. This helps the dairy farmer manage mastitis naturally.
Benefits of a natural approach
- Supporting the immune system: Our boluses contain ingredients that contribute to a stronger resistance, improving the cow’s ability to ward off infections.
- No waiting time for milk: Because our products do not contain antibiotics, milk can continue to be delivered as usual. This helps dairy farmers keep their production stable.
- Sustainable solution: By using natural products, dairy farms can reduce the use of antibiotics, contributing to responsible husbandry.
Tested on dairy farms
SCC Bolus products have been extensively tested on dairy farms to ensure they are effective and safe. By collaborating with livestock producers and veterinarians, we can provide solutions that fit the practice and contribute to a healthier herd.
