Mastitisfaktoren: Einfluss von Lärm und Vibrationen auf die Eutergesundheit von MilchkühenThis project is connected with the pro-Q-project (Promotion of udder health and quality of organic produced milk in Switzerland). The project aim is to get knowledge about correlations between noise and vibration in milking parlours and udder health. Udder health parameters are somatic cell count (SCC) and microbiology of quarter foremilk samples, SCC of test day results (cow whole milk samples). These parameters will be compared with the data from the measurements of noise and vibration in milking parlours on 32 pro-Q farms.
