Assess your udder health performance against industry benchmarks. Without good knowledge of current performance, and a clear idea of what's possible, it's difficult to work out how and where to make improvements. |

Use industry benchmarks to compare your herd's udder health performance with industry benchmarks for clinical mastitis and milk somatic cell count (SCC) measures.
These benchmarks are based on real herd data and indicate what's achievable in the future.
