The occurrence of new mastitis cases tends to be greatest around calving and drying off. This is due to a combination of factors such as dramatic changes in the functioning of the mammary gland, an adjustment of the cow's immune system and changes in milking and nutritional management. For cows milked once-a-day (OAD) this risk is no different.
