Positives of Udder Health Management Healthy udders are essential for maintaining high milk yields.

When cows have good udder health, they are less likely to suffer from infections such as mastitis, which can significantly reduce milk production. Healthy cows produce more milk of higher quality, which can be sold at a better price, thereby improving profit margins. Additionally, maintaining good udder health reduces veterinary costs and avoids the need to discard milk due to high somatic cell counts (SCC). This also means fewer tasks for farm workers, as they spend less time managing infections and administering treatments. Targeted dry cow therapy, which involves drying off cows without antibiotics, promotes a healthier udder environment and reduces the need for antibiotic treatments. Overall, good udder health helps prevent the involuntary culling of cows, ensuring that they remain productive and healthy.
