MASTITIS STUDY KEY POINTS:
- SOMATIC CELL COUNT REDUCTION OF 59.7%
- OMRI Listed Product

A somatic cell study was done on 26 chronically high somatic cows. Thirteen cows were randomly selected for the study group and 13 for the control group. Entry-level testing conducted on 8/21/2003 showed that the control group had a beginning average Somatic Cell Count of 1,854,811, and the treatment group had a beginning Somatic Cell Count of 2,374,000.
Cows in the control group received standard mastitis protocols during the 60-day time period. The study group cows received one ounce of Ramaekers Livestock Stress Stable daily for three days on and three days off, for a total of three cycles or nine treatments. Somatic Cell Count testing was again performed on 9/18/2003. The control group experienced an increase of 10.5%, while the study group experienced a decrease of 59.7%. This is a 70.2% improvement in somatic cell counts over the control group.
Nine treated cows returned to production, while only one control cow recovered after heavy medication.
