Clinical mastitis has severe detrimental effects on the animal and negative economic impacts for dairy producers. However, pain associated with clinical mastitis, generally, is not measured and not treated. New technologies may allow dairy producers to identify clinical mastitis in its very early stages, or even before clinical changes occur. With this opportunity for very early detection of infection, there is a potential for early intervention. As the health and well-being of dairy cattle continue to be scrutinized by consumer groups, it is essential that the alleviation of any perceived pain or discomfort associated with clinical mastitis be addressed.
