Project description

Udder diseases occur very frequently in dairy herds, significantly impair animal welfare, cause high costs and are the main reason for the use of antibiotics in the cowshed. Sustainable improvement and the maintenance of good udder health in the herd therefore require a strategic and systematic approach. Prevention plays a central role, particularly on organic dairy farms. Preventive measures in the areas of management, husbandry and feeding as well as therapeutic decisions should be as efficient, targeted and adapted to the respective farm conditions as possible.

The aim of the operational group was to develop a digital tool that supports farmers, veterinarians and advisors in farm-specific, systematic udder health management. The tool makes it easier to record and analyse data and makes the derivation of treatment measures comprehensible for everyone involved.

A long-term and sustainable improvement in udder health is based on the identification and elimination of weak points. The EUTERGESUND programme offers initial support for this.

Further information on the project can be found in the final report and in the practice sheet as well as on the following homepage: https://www.eutergesund.net/start/.
