Clearly, mastitis is not a new problem. I appreciate the dilemma Ms McCoy has with the figures. She can only work with what she has. However, based on her figures, almost half are above what she would ideally like them to be. After all the years and with all the knowledge we have about mastitis, why are we still at this level? It is not a new disease that farmers are struggling to understand. Mastitis has been around for some time.
