Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the views of Bavarian veterinarians on diseases linked to chronic infections in dairy cattle.
- A survey revealed that 37% of the 104 veterinarians reported no significant disease patterns, yet 5% of dairy operations faced major health issues, with high incidences of recumbency, lameness, and udder problems.
