[QUOTE="born2run, post: 201524, member: 2498"] When I first started my current job over 2 1/2 years ago we dispensed Oxytocin like water. Coming from another dairy where they guarded it with their life (well almost LOL) this was odd to me. Now there are only three cows on it, out of a herd of over 430. Two of the cows are bred back, and have been on oxytocin their entire lactation. These cows, in earlier stages of their lactation, would have come down with acute masitis without it being used. The other one, ironically, is not bred back. I asked the herd manager about this two days ago, and he told me that he feels like it was the oxytocin that caused her failure to settle. He said there were about 5 other cows during the same time frame, also on oxytocin, that were having a tough time taking, and said it was just too coincidental. Now we have a strict "don't give" policy. While I think it may have it's place for a case of mild mastitis, I can see the boss/manager's point and respect that. Just curious if you have employees, or do you do all your own milking? [/QUOTE]
