A prevalence study of verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli O157 (VTEC O157) was performed in 371 randomly selected dairy herds distributed throughout Sweden. Faecal and manure samples were collected and analysed by immunomagnetic separation and culturing. Data were recorded for each herd regarding herd size, age of sampled animals and whether, in addition to cattle, the farm kept other animals. VTEC O157 was isolated from 33 (8·9%) of the 371 investigated herds. The prevalence was higher (23·3%) in Halland county than in the rest of Sweden (P>0·01). Halland was also the county in Sweden that during the study period had the highest incidence of human VTEC O157 cases. VTEC O157 was not detected on any farm in northern Sweden. Identified risk factors, in the multivariate analyses, for herds being VTEC O157 positive were herd size, geographical localization, presence of pigs on the farm and median age of sampled animals.

Mastitis Control

Teat disinfection in dairy herds is an important part of mastitis control, both to reduce infection pressure from the environment and to reduce risk of transmission of infection between cows. Despite much focus on mastitis as an endemic disease, clinical and subclinical mastitis remains an issue for many UK herds, often leading to a perception that changing the teat disinfection product may provide quick solutions. This article summarises the types of products available for both pre- and post-milking teat disinfection, the aim of both types of teat disinfectant and how they may be applied.
