DairyCo Mastitis Control Plan

Welcome to the DairyCo Mastitis Control Plan website, part of a national mastitis initiative developed by veterinary surgeons and supported by DairyCo.

The DairyCo Mastitis Control Plan is a structured approach to tackling cell count and mastitis issues on farm.

Trained vets and consultants work with producers to identify the main causes of problems using milk records, clinical records and on-farm questionnaires. All this information is brought together to produce a farm-specific action plan detailing 'could', 'should' and 'musts' in terms of actions to tackle identified 'problem' areas.

To find your local vet or consultant delivering the plan, please see the Plan Users Map or alternatively ask your vet or consultant if they are involved in the Plan.

The average cost of a case of mastitis has many variables and each farm will have it's own set of problems and issues to take account of. Therefore, when looking at the impact of high cell count and mastitis on-farm, it is important to take all of these factors into account. Your plan deliverer can take you through a cost calculator to help you understand the different aspects and their financial impact.
