Bacterial Counts Associated with Sawdust and Recycled Manure Bedding Treated with Commercial Conditioners

Sand or Sawdust? Bacterial counts in bedding

Bacterial counts on teat skin and in new sand, recycled sand, and recycled manure solids used as bedding in freestalls.

On modern dairy farms, environmental mastitis pathogens are usually the predominant cause of mastitis, and bedding often serves as a point of exposure to these organisms. The objective of this longitudinal study was to determine bacterial populations of 4 different bedding types [deep-bedded new sand (NES), deep-bedded recycled sand (RS), deep-bedded manure solids (DBMS), and shallow-bedded man...

Growth of environmental mastitis pathogens in various bedding materials.

The objective of the study was to determine whether, under controlled conditions, bedding materials vary in their ability to support growth of different environmental pathogens independent of the presence of feces, urine, or other contamination. Five sterilized bedding materials (fine hardwood chips, recycled dried manure, chopped newspaper, softwood sawdust, and chopped straw) and three bacter...

What have we learned about using recycled manure solids for bedding?

Organic bedding sources are becoming more expensive and difficult to find. Sand can be considered the ideal bedding source for dairy cows; however, not all producers consider sand a feasible alternative for their operation. Inherent properties of sand can make it difficult to handle in some manure systems. Large amounts of bedding can be obtained from mechanical liquidsolid separation of manure...
