Current annual losses due to mastitis in Dutch dairy herds were calculated to av. Dfl 136/cow per yr, which equals approx. 12% of net return on labour and management per cow on a typical farm. Reduction in milk and fat yield accounts for 70% of these losses. Streptococcal infections were found to have the highest economic impact, causing almost 40% of total losses.
