چکیده

Different teat-cleaning methods were evaluated to determine their effect on the presence of spores from anaerobic bacterial spore-formers in the milk. Artificial contamination was used to achieve uniform contamination of teats to reduce the number of cows and samples needed in the experiments and still obtain adequate power to detect differences among tested methods. Teats were contaminated experimentally with a large amount of Clostridium tyrobutyricum spores in a manure-water slurry. Various types of dry and moistened towels and different combinations of methods using soap or 2 types of towels, together with cleaning times of 10 or 20 s, were compared in 2 Latin square-designed experiments with 7 cows, 7 treatments, and 4 replications in each experiment. In comparison with control (no cleaning and no forestripping), cleaning teats with dry paper towels for 10 s reduced concentration of spores in milk by 45 to 50%. A 50 to 74% reduction was achieved using different types of moist towels for 10 s. Methods using 2 towels, soap, or a longer cleaning time reduced bacterial contamination by 85 to 91%. The most effective methods in reducing milk spore content (96% reduction) were use of a moist washable towel with or without soap followed by drying with a dry paper towel, for a total time of 20 s per cow. One of the best cleaning methods was studied in an additional experiment to determine the effect of different teat contamination mixtures. The Latin square-designed experiment with 8 cows, 8 treatments, and 2 replications showed that cleaning was independent of the tested contamination matrix (manure, soil, or sawdust), type of spores (Cl. tyrobutyricum and Bacillus cereus), or degree of contamination (manure or extra manure).

Pilot study on the influence of premilking iodine-based teat disinfection on milk iodine content

Premilking cleaning and disinfection of teats were shown to be effective to prevent environmental mastitis. However, premilking teat disinfection is not a commonly used practice in Germany because of the risk of disinfection product residues in the milk. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of five differently concentrated iodine-based, foaming, premilking teat disinfectants ...

Effects of an automatic postmilking teat dipping system on new intramammary infections and iodine in milk.

A technology of automatically applying a postmilking teat dip via the milking machine prior to machine detachment was compared to manual postmilking teat dipping with a teat dip cup for effects on new IMI and iodine content in milk. One hundred twenty Holstein cows were experimentally challenged in a 22-wk trial with Streptococcus agalactiae and Staphylococcus aureus and 148 Holstein cows were ...

Noninferiority trial on the efficacy of premilking teat disinfectant against naturally occurring new intramammary infections using a novel 2-step diagnostic process.

The objective of the study was to evaluate premilking teat disinfectant efficacy with the use of a novel diagnostic protocol against a positive control. The evaluation of efficacy was based on establishing noninferiority of a new premilking teat disinfectant compared with an existing premilking teat disinfectant. Approximately 200 cows were randomly allocated to 1 of 2 groups. Study personnel w...

Effect of presampling procedures on real-time PCR used for diagnosis of intramammary infections with Staphylococcus aureus in dairy cows at routine milk recordings.

Aseptic procedures for milk sample collection are considered crucial for bacterial culture to avoid misdiagnosis and subsequently unnecessary treatment or culling. The objective of this field study was to investigate the effect of presampling procedures on the PCR-positivity at cycle threshold value ≤ 37 of real-time PCR assay to detect Staphylococcus aureus from composite milk samples at routi...
