NMC webinar addresses treatment of clinical mastitis
New Prague, MN (July 9, 2025) – “Treatment of Non-severe, Gram-negative Clinical Mastitis” headlines NMC’s Aug. 21 webinar, presented by Daniela Bruno, University of California Cooperative Extension, and Juan “Rodrigo” Pedraza, Zoetis. This free, one-hour educational offering starts at 1 p.m. Central time (USA/Canada).

Bovine mastitis is a common and costly disease that negatively impacts dairy farms due to production losses, increased health costs, decreased milk quality, negative effects on cow welfare, and increased culling and death rates. Gain an understanding of the differences between mild, moderate, and severe mastitis cases, and how to identify infections. Also, learn about a recent field trial that investigated the outcomes of treating nonsevere mastitis cases caused by gram-negative bacteria.
