Previous studies have suggested that udder health may be impaired on organic dairy farms. However, there is limited knowledge about udder health in dairy cows on organic farms, with prior research primarily addressing herd-level management. This leaves gaps in understanding individual cow-level mastitis pathogen prevalence and dynamics. Given the potentialRead more

Helena Reydams’ thesis focused on non-aureus staphylococci and closely related mammaliicocci (NASM), which are significant causative agents of intramammary infections in lactating dairy cows, leading to mastitis—an inflammation of the mammary gland. These bacteria encompass a diverse group of 53 species and 28 subspecies, with over 26 species isolated fromRead more
