New Prague, MN (August 14, 2024) – National Mastitis Council’s (NMC) Sept. 18 webinar, led by Tiago Tomazi, Merck Animal Health, addresses “Assertive Mastitis Therapy in an Era of Environmental Pathogens.” This free, one-hour educational offering starts at 2 p.m. Central time (USA/Canada).
Tomazi explains that keeping cows healthy is a key factor in ensuring dairy farm profitability. An ever-present concern on dairies, mastitis can lead to lost milk production, added treatment costs, inferior milk quality, decreases in reproductive efficiency, early herd removal and/or death. Learn how mastitis-causing pathogens affect milk production, how to strategically treat clinical mastitis based off severity, and factors to consider when implementing treatment.
The webinar’s key learning objectives include:
- Understand the distribution of mastitis-causing pathogens in conventional commercial dairy farms and their expected effect on milk production.
- Gain knowledge regarding the strategic treatment of clinical mastitis, according to pathogens and severity.
- Know the factors to consider when implementing pathogen-based treatment of clinical mastitis.
Tomazi provides technical support to Merck’s U.S. dairy sales and marketing teams, specializing in mastitis-causing pathogens and treatment, and helps dairy producers achieve their goals. He grew up in Brazil where he earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from the University of Passo Fundo and completed his master’s degree and PhD at the University of São Paulo, Brazil. Later, Tomazi completed his postdoctoral program at Cornell University. Throughout his career, Tomazi has led multiple research studies revolving around mastitis control.
