1 lip 2004 · Dry cow antibiotic therapy is used to eliminate existing intramammary infections and to prevent new infections in the dry period. It is implemented as part of a total management system known as the 'Five-Point Plan' for mastitis control.
Dry cow therapy is an intra-mammary treatment of udder or systemic treatment with an antibiotic administered during dry period. The use of antibiotic dry cow therapy and the treatment of intramammary infection at drying off has been a basis for mastitis management and control [10].
The impact of selective dry-cow therapy on the physiological milk microbiome needs to be carefully evaluated. In this small-scale trial, five healthy (no mastits, SCC <200,000 cells mL −1) second-parity cows from dry-off to 5 days after calving were sampled.
Dry cow therapy is use of intra-mammary antimicrobial therapy immediately after the last milking of lactation. It is implementation of the five-point plan for the mastitis control. It mainly aims on removing the prevailing intra-mammary infections and inhibiting new intramammary infections during the dry period.
20 lip 2023 · The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of dry cow therapy (DCT) on the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profile of mastitis pathogens post-calving. A repository of isolates based on a DCT trial was utilized for the current study.
Mastitis remains the most expensive disease of dairy cows, and antibiotic dry cow therapy (DCT) at dry-off is an important part of mastitis control. Regardless of the infection status, blanket DCT is administered to all quarters of all cows, which is controversial due to the worldwide problem of antimicrobial resistance.
Most dry cow therapy products are designed to eliminate existing infections by Gram-positive bacteria, particularly Staph. aureus and streptococcal infections at drying off and to prevent new Staph. aureus and streptococcal infections in the early dry period.
