Dairy farmers are expected to benefit from a Mastitis Awareness program which has been organised by the Fiji Cooperative Dairy Company Limited and facilitated by four FNU Veterinarians.
The program has been made possible through a Memorandum of Understanding that has been signed between the Fiji Cooperative Dairy Company and FNU, with the support of the Ministry of Agriculture.
The CEO of Fiji Cooperative Dairy Company Kushmendra Prasad says the vets will work with the farmers on understanding the basic concepts regarding Mastitis, what Mastitis is, how it is caused, the treatments for Mastitis, the management and prevention of Mastitis and husbandry care techniques.
Prasad says the goal is the improved management of the Bovine Mastitis issue, improved milk production and a sustainable business model.
Mastitis is an infection that negatively impacts the amount and the quality of milk a cow can produce.
