Environmental mastitis affects all herds and is the major mastitis problem on well managed dairy farms with low bulk tank somatic cell counts. Significant sources of environmental pathogens are bedding materials, manure, exercise lots, and pastures. Molecular methods have facilitated detection and characterization of environmental pathogens and revealed a shifting epidemiology for some pathogens. Improvement of cows’ ability to withstand infections and use of best management practices aimed at reduced exposure to environmental contamination are advised to prevent intramammary infections with environmental pathogens. These same practices also have an impact on milk quality parameters such as coliform counts and preliminary incubation counts. Finally, reduction of the exposure to environmental contamination will reduce food borne hazards for the consumer.
