Cumulative Risk of Bovine Mastitis Treatments in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden
<p/> <p>Data from the national dairy cow recording systems during 1997 were used to calculate lactation-specific cumulative risk of mastitis treatments and cumulative risk of removal from the herds in Denmark, Finland Norway and Sweden. Sweden had the lowest risk of recorded mastitis tre...
