The Staph Hunt
Find Staph cows with SmartScreen.
Staph aureus is the most common contagious mastitis pathogen in NZ herds, spreading cow-to-cow through the milking process, often with no obvious signs until it's well established.
- ✓ Identify low and high SCC cows carrying Staph aureus
- ✓ Isolate and manage carriers before they spread
- ✓ Break the transmission chain

fewer mastitis cases after switching to DairySmart
A South Island dairy farm running ~930 cows cut mastitis incidence from 24.85% to 3.6% by screening the whole herd before dry-off with SmartScreen, and testing for pathogens during the season with Jupiter. 123 fewer clinical cases were treated, and dry cow antibiotic use dropped from ~35% of the herd to ~5%, for an estimated $48,000 saved in a single season.
