Clinical Scenarios in udder health: too many clinical cases?

In the last of the online sessions covering udder health at herd level, delegates are given the chance to review approaches to answering client questions about apparent treatment failure of clinical mastitis leading to recurrence of cases and a increased incidence rate of clinical mastitis. This session will be illustrated with examples to showcase how to monitor cure outcome and how to understand infection patterns resulting in new (index) cases – and appropriate interventions to improve and reduce cure and index case rate respectively. Time for Q&A will be given throughout the session and again at the end.
