Managing Udder Issues with OZOLEA-MAST in Lactation and for Drying Off: Field Data from a US Dairy System (Monona & Wingra) Since 2022, Professor Bradley J. Heins (University of Minnesota), Extension Specialist in dairy management, has been trialing OZOLEAMAST in the Uni dairy herd in Morris (MN). This non-withhold animal device for intra-mammary use has proved to be effective for lowering high SCC in chronical cows, and for allowing steady SCC levels in the first months after calving when used at dry-off. OZOLEA will introduce the product, and then will give the floor to Professor Heins, presenting results of his independent research on the product, with new insights on the most recent work at dry-off. more info |
