Mastitis is the most costly disease in the dairy industry, with the biggest loss coming from subclinical mastitis, when bacteria are already in the udder. These organisms destroy milk-secreting tissue and thus lower milk production.
According to USDA, mastitis costs the US dairy industry alone $2 billion a year. About 3 million dairy cows each year show visible signs of acute infection. Of those 3 million, about 300,000 die from shock induced by the endotoxin or have to be culled.
Mastitis causes an additional $400 million loss to the beef industry.
Our two field-proven teat dips — Kenostart® and Kenocidin® — help protect your investment from these staggering losses and keep your herd healthy and productive.
