title: [Some figures for the year 1974 concerning mastitis of cattle in the Netherlands (author's transl)].
abstract: With the co-operation of the industry, information has been received for 1974, just as for the years 1971 to 1973, about the number of short-acting and long-acting injectors sold in the Netherlands. This reveals that the sales of short-acting injectors have in 1974 shown practically no change (-0.7 per cent). The use of long-acting preparations shows a clear rise in 1974, in comparison with 1973, namely 16 per cent. This is a favourable trend. The total losses caused in 1974 by mastitis have not changed in comparison with 1973. The individual stock farmer has little idea of the losses suffered by him on account of mastitis. The estimated total damage as a result of lost milk production in the Netherlands is about 100 million guilders a year. The damage due to premature culling occasioned by mastitis of cows runs at about 50 million guilders a year. All in all this represents damages of 75 guilders annually for every dairy cow and every cow in calf. It is imperative that this is realised by all bodies concerned with dairying in the widest sense of the world.
