How to Clear Up Dairy Cow Mastitis Naturally

You might be surprised to learn that if you find yourself faced with a dairy cow that has mastitis, you don't have to resort to antibiotics right away! This video was impromptu but I wanted to share how we healed up our dairy cow naturally in just a few days. Here are the three things we do to clear up mastitis with our dairy cow.
1. Increase vitamin E
2. Frequent milking (3-4x per day)
3. TLC - put her up in the barn if it's cold and increase hay
Something that I didn't address was that as the cow clears up, I like to do a CMT test. I keep some solution and a paddle on hand now and it's great to confirm if the high somatic cell count has been resolved. Further, you can decide to milk the infected teat(s) separately and dispose of it while keeping the clean milk.

Thanks for subscribing! It can be a little nerve-racking but catching it early will help you to address it quickly. Watching her closely and keeping an eye out for any hardness, redness, or swelling will be key. Is your cow due in a few months??
