An udder phase was calculated for every individual cow which could be “GREEN” (normal), “YELLOW” and “ORANGE” (mostly infected cows) or “RED” (mostly cows with low cure risk). Within 7 months, 219 cows had complete data to assess the effect of dry cow means (such as antibiotic treatment, teat sealing or no therapy) on SCC after calving.
