Mastitis is one of the leading challenges affecting dairy productivity and milk quality. At the Rwanda One Health Innovation Network (ROHIN), we provide practical training to farmers on mastitis control best practices, helping them improve herd health, milk safety, and farm profitability.
During these hands-on sessions, farmers learn effective strategies to prevent, detect, and manage mastitis in their herds, including:
- Proper udder hygiene before and after milking
- Correct milking techniques to reduce infections
- Regular monitoring for early signs of mastitis
- Sanitation of milking equipment and housing
- Good record-keeping for herd health and treatment history
By implementing these best practices, farmers can significantly reduce mastitis incidence, improve milk quality, and minimize the need for antibiotics, contributing to safer milk and healthier animals. ROHIN’s training empowers farmers with the knowledge and skills needed for sustainable and productive dairy farming under the One Health approach.
