Gehäuftes Auftreten von Staphylococcus-aureus-Mastitiden in einer Milchviehherde: Ein Fallbericht

Zusammenfassung

Der vorliegende Bericht beschreibt einen Fall gehäuften Auftretens von Staphylococcus-aureus-Mastitiden in einer Milchviehherde. Daten der Milchleistungsprüfung, bakteriologische Milchprobenergebnisse, Aufzeichnungen über das Auftreten klinischer Mastitiden einschließlich deren Verlauf und Einfluss auf den Verbleib in der der Herde betroffener Tiere sowie die Beurteilung der Melkroutine wurden zur Abklärung herangezogen. Die Melkroutine sowie das Behandlungsprotokoll für Tiere mit einer Staphylococcus-aureus-Infektion wurden als mögliche Risikofaktoren identifiziert. Umgesetzte Maßnahmen beinhalteten Veränderungen in der Melkroutine und dem Behandlungsprotokoll für infizierte Tiere sowie Keulung oder Abtrennung bereits infizierter Tiere.

Abstract

The report describes an outbreak of Staphylococcus aureus mastitis in a dairy herd. The risk assessment included the analysis of data from milk recordings, bacteriological milk cultures, clinical mastitis records and influence of infected status on the culling risk of affected animals, as well as an evaluation of the milking routine. The milking routine and the treatment protocol of animals with Staphylococcus aureus infection were identified as possible risk factors. The implemented measures included changes to the milking routine, a different treatment protocol for infected animals, and culling and segregation of infected animals to reduce overall prevalence.
