defeated in one start.

Dairy herds can be freed from
mastitis but prevention of the disease
is easier than its cure. Although the
disease is caused by bacteria, injur
ies to the cow’s udder or teats appear
to provide conditions required for
bacterial infection. Too little bedding,
short or narrow stalls, and prolonged
mechanical milking are common cau
ses of udder injuries. Cows with mas
titus should be milked last.
