Letnie wyzwania ze zdrowiem wymion
Kiedy mowa o zdrowiu wymion, lato nie ma nic wspólnego z relaksem. Upał, zwiększona wilgotność i stres cieplny mogą w dużym stopniu wpływać na kondycję wymion krów mlecznych. W tym okresie prawdopodobnie mierzysz się z częstymi zapaleniami, wyciekami mleka, spadkiem produkcji i zwiększonym brakowaniem. Do tego dochodzą częstsze kulawizny, ponieważ krowy, próbując się ochłodzić, częściej stoją i obciążają racice. Zaburzona termoregulacja “walczy” o zasoby energii z układem odpornościowym, osłabiając jego pracę, a ciepło i wilgoć w oborze tworzą idealne warunki do rozwoju patogenów w oborze. To wszystko sprawia, że ryzyko wyzwań zdrowotnych wymienia radykalnie wzrasta.
Ujemny bilans energetyczny negatywnie wpływa na układ odpornościowy krowy, ponieważ neutrofile – ważne komórki odpornościowe zapobiegające infekcjom (również wymienia), są mniej zdolne do wykonywania swojej funkcji. Aktywność komórek odpornościowych spada, co zwiększa ryzyko chorób i infekcji.

Oparte na wiedzy i nauce, sprawdzone w praktyce
Recent field trials in the UK including a farm a with 500 cows showed that cows receiving the Udder Health Program showed:
68% decrease in antibiotic usage for udder health issues
1.1 year increase of age at culling
9,217 liter increase in lifetime production
70 extra heifers sold
Compared to the control group (whole herd prior to implementation of Udder Health Program).
Another trial in The Netherlands including 56 farms and 2,161 cows showed that cows had:
8,653kg milk higher lifetime production
€0.40 more revenue per day of life
Became 8 months older
19.8% less replacements
w porównaniu z grupą kontrolną.

5 wskazówek dla zdrowia wymion latem
- Apply strict milking hygiene
Wash and dry teats well before milking and use a pre-milking disinfectant and forestripping. Only attach the milking machine when teats are clean and dry. After milking, use a post-dip to prevent bacteria.
- Maintain and check your milking robot or parlour
Good hygiene is crucial during milking. Make sure your milking robot and parlour are clean and free from damages that could cause wounds. Blockages or dirty parts can quickly lead to bacterial infections.
- Keep cubicles and slatted floors clean and dry
Bacteria like E. coli and Streptococcus uberis multiply rapidly in warm, damp conditions. Dirty and wet lying areas significantly increase infection pressure. Regularly add fresh bedding or sawdust and check for wet spots. Also, ensure urine and manure drainage works well and keep slatted floors clean.
- Regularly monitor somatic cell count
Watch for increases in somatic cell count as it may indicate (early) mastitis. The CMT test (California Mastitis Test) helps detect subclinical mastitis early so you can act before it becomes clinical.
- Prevent lasting udder damage in heifers with fly control
Heifers that get warts (wrang) in summer suffer lasting udder damage, leading to cows that start lactation with mastitis or only three well-functioning quarters. Start fly control early in summer and reduce breeding sites by preventing standing water.

Jak zdrowie wymienia wpływa na ogólny stan zdrowia krowy?
Udder health is one of the most complex challenges facing dairy farmers. After all, a healthy udder is crucial for producing high-quality milk. In addition, when udder health is optimal, the cow feels comfortable, eats better, and requires less attention from the farmer. This reduces the need for traditional remedies. The risk of reduced udder health is highest during the first 100 days after calving. The consequences of reduced udder health can be significant.
Fresh, dry cows and calves are particularly vulnerable. Udder health also comes under pressure: heat stress reduces the cow’s resistance, giving harmful bacteria more opportunity to thrive, resulting in an increased risk of mastitis and other infections.
Without timely and targeted measures, heat stress can seriously affect the performance of your herd and your business results. At AHV, we are happy to help you get through the summer! We help you proactively tackle heat stress with knowledge, practical tips, and customized support.
Jakie są zagrożenia dla zdrowia wymion latem?
Because cows with heat stress stand more often and for longer periods of time to release heat to the environment, their hooves are subjected to additional stress, which leads to hoof problems. The warm weather puts pressure on the cow’s immune system. Heat stress creates an unfavorable environment for the cows in the barn and increases the risk of udder health problems.
A negative energy balance affects the cow’s immune system, as neutrophils, an important immune cell in preventing (udder) infections, are less able to do their job.
The activity of the immune cells decreases, increasing the risk of disease and infection.
Jak zdrowie wymienia wpływa na układ odpornościowy?
An energy deficiency also affects the immune system. Immune cells function less effectively, making cows more susceptible to infections. The warm and often humid conditions in the barn also increase bacterial pressure. This increases the risk of udder problems such as mastitis.

Jaką rolę odgrywa biofilm?
Biofilm linked to recurring udder health challenges
It’s essential to acknowledge that 60% of udder health challenges originate in the dry period (Santos et al., 2010), when bacteria and biofilm accumulate within the udder. Removing this build-up is vital to ensure that cows begin their lactation free from udder challenges that could hinder their production.
