Book

Description

Marginal regions cover relatively a large part territory of the Visegrad countries (V4) where the rearing of ruminants can efficiently produce animal commodities only occasionally. The geographic, social and economic stability of these regions are strongly influenced by the keeping of ruminants, particularly for marking milk production. Dairy farmers and those involved in primary milk production face the challenge of maintaining the good health of their animals. Although the level of technological support during milking has increased and appropriate veterinary measures are available, inflammation of the mammary gland - mastitis remains one of the major health problems of dairy cows as well as a major threat to dairy farm profitability.
The scientific book publication contains a set of studies that synthesize knowledge available within the chain of mastitis diagnostics, the quality of raw milk produced and prevention of mammary gland inflammation implemented under conditions of dairy farming in marginal regions of V4.
