NKJ Mastitis network

The 8th Seminar on Nordic Mastitis will be organized as an on-site meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark, on August 24-25, 2026.

The seminar will focus on herd-level monitoring of udder health and its best-practice application in the Nordic countries. In addition to invited speakers, the program will also include presentations by participants about their ongoing research on mastitis-related topics.

HEALTHY UDDERS THROUGH VETERINARY ADVISORY SUPPORTED BY AUTOMATICALLY COLLECTED DATA 

Bovine mastitis is an inflammation of the mammary gland, primarily caused by bacterial infections. It is the most common disease affecting dairy cows in modern production systems and therefore represents the leading cause of antibiotic use in adult dairy cattle. Mastitis also reduces milk quality as well as farm profitability and can, in clinical cases, compromise animal welfare. The One Health approach and animal welfare aspects highlight the need for effective herd-level mastitis management, to not only improve animal health and farm economics, but also to diminish its broader implications for public health and environmental sustainability.
