Mastitis is a common problem in dairy cows and leads to a reduction in milk production, rejection of milk, expensive treatment and, in some cases, loss of udder function.

• Sidai supports farmers to control mastitis by offering:-
• milk testing, on-farm, using the California Mastitis Test
• cow udder treatment
• Valiant Express teat dip to kill bacteria on the udder
• Sidai milking salve, to keep the udder in good condition

Sidai recommends milking into a Mazzican with a black funnel to aide early detection of udder infections; these can be obtained from Sidai outlets.
