Partial budget analysis of vaccinating dairy cattle against coliform mastitis with an Escherichia coli J5 vaccine.
Partial budget analysis of clinical coliform mastitis prevention supported vaccination of dairy cows with an Escherichia coli J5 vaccine. Increased profits of $57/cow lactation were predicted using a computer spreadsheet derived partial budget with generalized herd input data. Herd vaccination programs were predicted to be profitable when greater than 1% of cow lactations resulted in clinical coliform mastitis. Herd vaccination programs were predicted to be profitable at all herd milk production levels.
