Global concerns regarding bacterial antibiotic resistance demand prudent use of antibiotics in livestock production. Dairy production in the Nordic countries has a low consumption of antibiotics, while animal health, productivity and milk quality are at high levels. Here, we describe the basis of Nordic mastitis control and treatment strategies, as a model for production of high-quality milk with prudent use of antibiotics. We hope this will be beneficial for dairy producers and advisors in other countries and regions that consider limiting antibiotic use in cattle herds. In this perspectives paper we describe the dairy sector in the Nordic countries, and present regulatory aspects of antibiotic use, diagnostics and current guidelines for treatment of clinical mastitis as well as dry cow therapy. We also show summary statistics of udder health indicators in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden, to illustrate the effects of the implemented udder health management practices.
全球对细菌抗生素耐药性的关注要求在畜牧生产中谨慎使用抗生素。北欧国家的乳制品生产抗生素消耗量低，而动物健康、生产力和牛奶质量处于高水平。在此，我们描述北欧乳腺炎控制和治疗策略的基础，作为谨慎使用抗生素生产高质量牛奶的模式。我们希望这将有益于其他考虑限制牛群抗生素使用的国家和地区的乳制品生产商和顾问。在这篇观点论文中，我们描述了北欧国家的乳制品行业，并介绍了抗生素使用的监管方面、诊断方法以及当前临床乳腺炎治疗和干奶牛治疗指南。我们还展示了丹麦、芬兰、挪威和瑞典乳房健康指标的汇总统计数据，以说明所实施的乳房健康管理措施的效果。
