Selective Dry-Off Therapy in Conventional Dairy Farms: The Influence of Quarter-Level Selection Criteria on Postpartum Mastitis and Somatic Cell Count

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This study evaluated the use of selective dry cow therapy in two commercial dairy farms in the Czech Republic to reduce antibiotic use without harming udder health or milk quality. Milk quarter samples were collected before and after drying-off to analyze somatic cell counts, microbial infections, and milk composition. The results showed no significant differences in udder health between quarters treated with or without antibiotics when ap-propriate selection criteria were applied. However, quarters treated with antibiotics tended to have a higher clinical mastitis incidence, likely due to pre-existing infections. These findings support the use of selective dry cow therapy as a sustainable approach to lower antibiotic use in dairy farming while maintaining animal welfare and milk quality. Im-proved diagnostic methods and careful herd management are essential for successful im-plementation.
