This document provides information on gram negative and positive bacteria identification using colony color and morphology. It also provides preliminary data from European and US studies on the effects of using the AccuMast mastitis identification system compared to blanket treatment or reference milk lab identification. The key findings include reductions in antibiotic usage of 30-62%, increases in cure rates of 4.9-7.4% and increases in survivability of 12.4-19.1%.

1. PRELIMINARY DATA FROM Relative to Blanket Treatment
A EUROPEAN STUDY SHOWS • 62% average reduction in antibiotic usage (ACCUMAST VS BLANKET TREATMENT): • 4.9% increase in 21-day cure rate • 12.4% increase in 60d survivability • 12.1% increase in 60d survivability • 2.9 days less in treatment pen (only data from • 5.7% increase in 21d cure rate two herds • 30% reduction in antibiotic useage • 21.4% reduction in clinical mastitis incidence • With no change in milk and SCC (42 > 33) 2. ANECDOTAL DATA FROM FERA Relative to Other On-Farm Culture Methods CUSTOMERS (USA BASED) SHOWS THAT • 47% average reduction in antibiotic usage WHEN ACCUMAST IS UTILIZED AS THE • 7.4% increase in 21-day cure rate CENTERPIECE OF A MASTITIS STRATEGY: • 19.1% increase in survivability • 37.5% reduction in clinical mastitis incidence Relative to Reference Milk Labs (48 > 30) • 34% reduction in antibiotic usage • 5.3% increase in 21-day cure rate except one herd with no change) Embrace the • 15.8% increase in 60d survivability “wait to treat” principle. • 2.0 days less in treatment pen (only data from one herd) • 22.5% reduction in clinical mastitis incidence (40 > 31)
