Milk Culturing Lab

Milk cultures help direct treatment and help make management decisions for controlling mastitis. At the Medford Veterinary Clinic, we provide in-house milk cultures to give you fast and reliable results. Results will be reported back to you within 24-48 hrs and each milk culture is analyzed by one of our veterinarians. Reasons to culture:
 
* Treatment selection
* Differentiation between environmental vs. contagious causes
* Vaccine decisions
* Selective dry cow therapy
 
Cows commonly sampled include:
 
* Mastitic cows
* High somatic cell cows
* Fresh cows
* Dry cows
