Mastitis remains a persistent issue on U.S. dairy farms. This project analyzed data from Iowa State University’s Dairy Farm using PCDart and Prairieland software to understand when, why, and how mastitis occurs. The goal was to identify trends and improve SOPs for better herd health and disease prevention over time.
