Summary: Website ‘Innovativefarmers’ with innovation ‘Uddermint. ’
The field lab aims to improve the health of dairy cows through a reduction in antibiotic use, particularly for the treatment of mastitis. Participants trialled the use of Uddermint, a liniment cream containing 35% mint oil, to reveal its efficacy in reducing high somatic cell counts, an indicator of subclinical mastitis. To test this more robustly, six farmers committed to participate in an experiment (2014). Newly-calved cows were treated with Uddermint® and the results for both treated and untreated cows were reported. Somatic cell counts were checked using National Milk Records (NMR). Although there was large variation in results between treatments and participating farms, when farm data was combined, somatic cell counts were significantly lower in the cows treated with Uddermint® than those that weren’t. Concluding; Uddermint® could be used as a complementary treatment for
mastitis in less severe cases, reducing antibiotic usage.

in Significant Impact Group(s): Pathogen management \ Managing sick animals

Species targeted: Dairy;
Age: Adult;
Summary: Company ‘Innovativefarmers’ with innovation ‘Vetorapid: Improving The Targeting Of Mastitis Treatments’
The field lab aims to demonstrate that following appropriate training, farmers are capable of determining the causative agent of mild or moderate clinical mastitis (Grades 1 or 2 only) using the VetorapidTM system and delivering selective treatment based on the results.
Providing dairy farmers with a consistent procedure for typing bacteria rapidly on-farm has the potential to reduce the use of antimicrobials in lactating cows by up to 50%. The solution to this could be on-farm tests which give results within 24 hours.
The use of a selective treatment approach will: reduce the overall usage of antibiotics on the farms.
The results show that there are significant cost savings to be made when using this technique which identifies types of bacteria in cattle. The expected saving in antibiotic treatments using the culture kit was about 24%.

Species targeted: Pigs; Dairy; Beef; Sheep;
Age: Young;
Outcome Parameter(s): Lower disease susceptibility
Summary: #ColostrumisGold, a website from the English company RUMA (RUMA = Responsible Use of Medicines in Agriculture Alliance, see: https://www.ruma.org.uk/)
This easy to read farm innovation is about improving animal health and welfare, in beef and dairy cattle, pigs and sheep. The main topic of the website is colostrum; the first milk from cows, sheep and pigs. According to the website; “Colostrum is chock-full of antibodies, energy and essential nutrients that can benefit the newborn animal.”
The website includes documents with Tech tools & Tips; read antibiotic use case studies, showing implemented management changes on-farm that have reduced, refined or replaced use of their antibiotics. There is a search function to choose from. These are basics on colostrum, storing and administering colostrum and use of colostrum, in different types of material (case study, technical guide and video’s).
