National Mastitis Council Membership

The National Mastitis Council membership includes a wide range of dairy professionals who share an interest in milk quality and mastitis control, including producers, veterinarians, university researchers and extension specialists, milk plant field staff, dairy supplies companies, government officials, and students.

Today, the continued pressure to provide a safe, wholesome food product as well as the need to increase production efficiency, requires a team effort between dairy producers, veterinarians and other dairy professionals to develop successful herd health programs. The NMC provides the information network necessary to help its members stay informed of the latest scientific, technical, and practical developments in udder health, milking management, milk quality, and milk safety.
