Abstract
Progress in the control of mastitis in dairy cows has not been so great as is popularly believed. Although mastitis caused by Streptococcus agalactiae has been much reduced in British herds by the general use of antibiotics, the disease is still prevalent because sub-clinical cases are ignored. Other forms of mastitis which do not respond to therapy have assumed a greater role, and we shall have to deal with these increasingly in future.
