New Prague, MN (June 10, 2025) – NMC’s Aug. 7 webinar, led by Tiago Tomazi, Merck Animal Health, addresses “Productive Cows Start in the Dry Period.” This free, one-hour educational offering starts at 1:30 p.m. Central time (USA/Canada).
Tomazi explains that the dry period is more than a break from lactation – it’s a pivotal phase that influences udder health and future milk production. Join Tomazi as he explores the science and practical strategies behind effective dry-off protocols, mastitis prevention and the role of tools like teat sealants, targeted antibiotics and 24/7 monitoring during the dry and transition period. Learn how to safeguard cow health, prevent new infections and build a foundation for peak productivity in the next lactation.
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.
