HEALTHY LIVESTOCK MAKE A PROFITABLE FARM!

Edema Udder edema is the accumulation of fluid in the udder region (and forward into the lower belly) around the time of calving that causes swelling and pressure within the udder. Swelling is a normal part of calving in cows of all ages. Heifers will begin to “bloom” up to a few months in advance of their first calving (mostly in the last month). Their tiny udder will slowly grow larger and may some days take on an odd shape as the fluids squish around from place to place. Remember, all this skin is stretching out for the first time! Cows are more likely to get mild to moderate edema...

COMFORT Cow Care HEALTHY COWS MAKE MORE MILK! If you are concerned that the swelling is putting too much pressure on the crease (udder cleft), then you can spray Comfort Udder Care into the crease. Press with your index finger in the udder. You will see a dent in the udder (see pictures above). This is the time to start using Comfort Udder Care. Put your arm between her back legs and spray the lotion along the seam all the way up to the top of her rear udder. This works best if done after milking the cow. Continue to spray the rest of the udder and repeat this process 4 days twice per day....

For serious, detrimental edema (rare)   Once fresh, if edema is severe, a quick way to reduce it is to milk the cow 3 times a day for a week or more. We do not recommend pre-milking a cow before she calves. Occasionally though, the cow will be dripping streams of milk or have an enormous udder, so pre-milking may be necessary in that case (If pre-milking, be sure to save and freeze enough colostrum for the calf when it is born!). Comfort Udder Care may be used to improve let-down. Spray the udder before milking with Comfort Udder Care A cow with a slipped median suspensory ligament will...

Udder Health Main Risk Factors Somatic Cell Count Somatic Cell Count (SCC) is the most commonly used measure to assess the health status of the mammary gland. The cells present in the milk of a healthy gland are milk-secreting cells from the udder tissue and leukocytes (60% macrophages, 25% lymphocytes, 15% neutrophils). The somatic cells have two functions in the udder; on the one hand, they cite micro-organisms and on the other hand, they are involved in the repair of the secreting tissue when it has suffered some damage. Generally, an increase in the SCC level indicates a higher level of...

Udder Health COMFORT Cow Care HEALTHY COWS MAKE QUALITY MILK! 1. Separate the cows with clinical mastitis, discard their milk and treat them. 2. Use the farm data management software and the latest SCC test for each cow (at least a monthly test should be done) to identify cows with very high SCC. Then perform a Comfort Milk Checker (CMC) on those cows. If the CMC is 0.5 or higher, start your Comfort Udder Care (CUC) treatment. If the level is 1.0 or higher you may discard that milk. Many times setting aside the 10-15% cows with the highest SCC helps tremendously to lower the level of SCC in...
