For the continuous improvement or the maintenance of a good udder health of the herd a strategic-systematic approach is a prerequisite. All decisions regarding preventive measures in management, husbandry and feeding, as well as for the treatment of individual animals should be efficient and tailored to the individual situation. So far, there has been no suitable practical tool for doing so. Farmers, veterinarians, consultants and scientists work together in the OG on the development of an innovative computer-aided tool for farmers. It is intended to assist farmers and their advisory specialists in dairy farms with making decisions regarding their individual udder health management. This tool will be applicable to both organic and conventional farms. In the case of udder health disorders, it leads to the derivation of farm specific recommendations for action and schedules of measures.
