[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1102389, member: 9267"] It's not correct. It depends on her production level and her history of mastitis and all sorts of things. If her production is very high, when you stop milking her she will spring up and dribble and is at high risk of mastitis because her teats are open and leaking. In which case, reducing the feed and milking only once a day for a few days will drop her production before you stop milking her altogether. Using dry cow therapy (DCT - antibiotic) or teatseal will help prevent mastitis. I only use DCT on the cows that have a history of mastitis. I then bring back 10% of the ones that didn't get DCT at dry-off and treat them for mastitis shortly after. If I used DCT on everything it would be 0%. [/QUOTE]
