Tridge summary

A recent study published in the Journal of Dairy Science estimates that diseases and health problems in dairy cattle cost the global dairy industry around $65 billion annually. The research focuses on twelve common conditions, including subclinical and clinical mastitis, lameness, paratuberculosis, and more, across 183 milk-producing countries. The study finds that subclinical ketosis is the most costly disease, contributing to an estimated $18 billion in annual losses, followed by clinical mastitis and subclinical mastitis with $13 billion and $9 billion in losses respectively. The economic impact of these diseases varies greatly, with subclinical ketosis, clinical mastitis, and subclinical mastitis causing significantly larger losses than other diseases. The research also highlights that the highest annual losses are in India, followed by the United States and China, but the impact of these diseases varies significantly from country to country.

Diseases and health problems in dairy cattle are estimated to cost around 65 billion dollars per year worldwide, the equivalent of around 60 billion euros. Subclinical ketosis entails the greatest losses at an estimated $18 billion. Clinical mastitis and subclinical mastitis are also major losses, with estimated annual global losses of $13 billion and $9 billion. This is evident from a study of global losses due to diseases in dairy cattle, published in the Journal of Dairy Science. Impact on milk production, fertility and culling of the animals In the study, the researchers estimate the impact of twelve dairy cattle diseases and health problems on milk production, fertility and animal culling in 183 milk-producing countries. They then calculated the economic losses from this. They looked at subclinical and clinical mastitis, lameness, paratuberculosis, displaced abomasum, dystocia, metritis, ovarian cysts, retained placenta, subclinical ketosis and clinical ketosis.
