Teat Dipping

Heifers and their human handlers are at risk for decreased welfare during the early lactation period. This experiment investigated pre-parturient teat dipping and parlor acclimation to reduce mastitis and aversive behaviors in early lactation heifers. Three weeks prior to calving, heifers were randomly assigned to receive either: (1) a weekly 1.0% iodine-based teat dip in the parlor (trained; n = 37) or (2) no treatment (control; n = 30). For the first 3 days of lactation, heifers were milked twice daily, and treatment-blinded handlers assessed behaviors and clinical mastitis. Aseptic quarter milk samples were collected within 36 h of calving and analyzed for pathogens. Control heifers had (OR ± SE) 2.2 ± 0.6 times greater (p < 0.01) odds of kicking during milking. Trained heifers had (OR ± SE) 1.7 ± 0.4 times greater (p = 0.02) odds of being very calm during milking, while control heifers had 2.2 ± 0.8 and 3.8 ± 2.1 times greater (p < 0.04) odds of being restless and very restless or hostile during milking, respectively. Quarters of control heifers had (OR ± SE) 5.4 ± 3.4 greater (p < 0.01) odds of intramammary Staphylococcus aureus infection, yet clinical mastitis was similar among treatments. The results indicate that teat dipping in the parlor weekly for 3 weeks before calving may alleviate some aversive milking behaviors and protect against early lactation S. aureus intramammary infections.

Teat Dipping

Teats were dipped immediately after milking in (a) an iodophor diluted to contain 1.0 per cent available iodine; (b) P.V.P.—Hibitane, containing 1.6 per cent Hibitane (Chlorhexidine); and (c) P.V.P.—Hibitane containing 0.5 per cent Hibitane. After each cow was milked the teat cups were rinsed briefly and “pasteurized” at 165–170°F for 15 seconds. Teat-dipping alone reduced dramatically the number of micrococci on the inflations but was only partially effective in reducing the percentage of inflations carrying haemolytic staphylococci, except when the 1.6 per cent P.V.P.—Hibitane was used. This material was, however, somewhat irritating to the teats. Teat cup pasteurizing alone partially reduced the percentage of teat cups carrying haemolytic staphylococci, but had little effect on the number of micrococci initially present on the inflations. It appears that the combination of these simple practices will go far towards eliminating the teat-skin and milking machine inflations as reservoirs of haemolytic staphylococci.

Daun sirih merupakan tanaman herbal yang banyak manfaat dan memiliki antibakteri yang baik. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui penggunaan dekok daun sirih hijau (Piper betle L.) sebagai bahan teat dipping terhadap persentase penurunan CMT dan TPC susu sapi FH laktasi 1, 2 dan 3 serta tingkat penggunaan dekok daun sirih hijau (Piper betle L.) yang dapat menurunkan jumlah bakteri paling tinggi dan mengurangi tingkat kejadian mastitis. Ternak penelitian adalah 36 ekor induk sapi perah Friesian Holstein (FH) laktasi 1, 2 dan 3. Metode penelitian menggunakan eksperimental dengan rancangan acak lengkap faktorial yang terdiri atas 12 perlakuan dan masing-masing diulang sebanyak 3 kali . Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan berpengaruh sangat nyata (P<0,01) terhadap California Mastitis Test (CMT) dan Total Plate Count (TPC). Kesimpulan menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan dekok daun sirih 50% dan 60% menghasilkan paling efektif terhadap penurunan persentase CMT dan TPC, serta periode laktasi tidak mempengaruhi dalam penurunan persentase CMT dan TPC

Teat Dipping

Experiment was conducted on Jersey crossbred cows (12) to compare 2 management practices viz. hand andmachine milking. Field investigations were also carried out on other milking management practices, IMI, hygienestatus and cleanliness in 3 stages. A total of 459 milk samples were analysed. Farm experimentation revealed thatSCC and MCMT were significantly higher in hand milking as compared to machine milking management. Butmilk yield and milk extraction rate were significantly lower in hand milking as compared to machine milkingmanagement. The time required for milking/animal was significantly higher in hand milking as compared to machinemilking management. The morning and evening milk samples of both hand and machine milking showed highervalues of SCC, MCMT, pH during evening as compared to morning session but milk yield and milk extraction ratewere lower during evening as compared to morning session whereas time required for milking/animal was higherin morning as compared to evening time. Almost similar trend of fat and SNF (%) were estimated in both milkingsession. Field investigation indicated that SCC, MCMT, pH were higher in IMI animal as compared to no-IMIanimal whereas fat and SNF were lower in IMI animal as compared to no IMI animal. Teat dipping and screeningof udders for mastitis were never followed by any farmer. Most of farmer having single cow, maintained goodhygiene status and cleanliness but most of the farmer having &gt;3 cows, maintained poor hygiene status. Farmexperimentation concluded that the IMI can be reduced in machine milking practices in comparison to hand milkingpractices with higher milk quantity without affecting milk composition in Jersey crossbred cows. Field investigationconcluded that there is a significant association between animal keeping pattern and hygiene status/cleanliness atstudy area. So efforts should be made to increase cleanliness and hygiene status in milking cows itself, housing ofanimal and milkers of farmer’s house to reduce incidence of IMI in changing scenario.
