Norcardia Mastitis Update Concern over the incidence of Norcardia Mastitis has risen dramatically over the last year and many articles have been written about this potentially devastating infection. Norcardia spp. are soil organisms, and infections can range from subclinical to Chronic to severe acute mastitis The organism is often introduced into the ud- der by contaminated .products, drug vials or infusion cannulas, or improper hygenic practices during intramammary infu- sions, teat dipping or udder washing. Once established in the herd, infections may spread from cow to cow. At present, treatment options are very unrewarding and despite antibiotic therapy it has proven very difficult to ARM REPORT Bruce County OMAF ntinel restore the gland to normal productivity. Infected cows may shed the organism and act as a source of infection. For this reason it is advisable to eliminate the cow from the herd. Dr. Debbie Stark and Dr. Neil Anderson have suggested the following recommen- dations when working with positive cases of Norcardia mastitis : 1. Isolate infected cows. If positive cows are kept, they should be separated from the milking herd and milked after all other cows are milked, dipped and treated, et cetera. 2. Determine the udder health status of the herd by having a lab analysis on individual cow composite milk samples. Before try- ing to eradicate the disease by culling, a producer should know how many cows are involved. 3. Since Norcardia species are en- vironmental pathogens it is important to minimize environmental contamination. Keep stalls clean and dry. Wash teats with an appropriate sanitizing solution and dry thoroughly before milking with individual paper towels. Use a germicidal teat dip immediately after milking. Check milking equipment at regular intervals to ensure proper function. Malfunctions in milking equipment may result in liner slips and teat impacts that increase the chances of environmental mastitis. 4. Administer lactating and dry cow mastitis treatments properly. Proper pro- cedures include: - choosing the proper product - usingwsingle dose treatments - cleaning the teat end by swabbing with alcohol and dipping the teat after treatment.
