[The frequency of individual methods of treatment for health disorders in north German dairy herds].
Disease data were recorded in 143 north German dairy herds including cows of three breeds: Angler, German Red and White and German Black and White. The following disease complexes were analysed: retained placenta, sterility, mastitis, milk fever and claw disorders. Data recording was performed by the herdsman and included date and type of disease per cow and a note, by whom the medical therapy was conducted (veterinary or herdsman). A comparison of both, therapy performed by veterinary or by herdsman, indicated that 75% of all cases of mastitis, 48% of all claw disorders and 25% of all cases of retained placenta were treated by the herdsman, whereas concerning milk fever and sterility only 10 resp. 8% of all cases were treated by the herdsman. An analysis was performed to investigate which factors of region, farm and herd may be related to the extent, in which disorders are treated by the herdsman. The results indicated that region, housing system, herd size and herd milk (kg) and fat (%) were affecting at least two of the five parameters which were formed to describe the herdsman's willingness to conduct medical therapy himself.
