AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich discusses using data to elevate udder health in this episode sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim. Our guests are Dr. Quinn Kolar from the ProDairy team at the Cornell University Dairy Fellows Program, and Dr. Caitlin Jeffrey, professional services veterinarian at Boehringer Ingelheim. 

This episode explores how bovine veterinarians can use on-farm data to guide smarter mastitis prevention and treatment decisions. From tracking meaningful metrics like relapse rates and somatic cell count trends to leveraging pathogen-based culturing, the conversation focuses on turning data into action. When veterinarians lead with data, they can help improve treatment precision, reduce recurrence and elevate overall herd performance.
