Research Area

Program focus: Improving the quality of milk from ruminants.

Basic research: Mastitis and milk quality in ruminant species are studied in this laboratory. This includes investigating the pathophysiology and epidemiology of mastitis as well as the detection and mitigation of antimicrobial residues in milk. Current mastitis research includes a study of Staphylococcus aureus mastitis using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, herd data analysis, and antibiotic susceptibilities. We are participating in an investigation of a combined therapy-vaccination strategy to control and prevent Staphylococcus aureus mastitis. Current antimicrobial residue studies utilize a microbial receptor assay, HPLC, and other detection methods to measure residues and investigate alternative dispositions for antibiotic contaminated milk. The disposition of beta-lactam antibiotics in calves fed antibiotic-contaminated milk has been investigated, as well as methods to neutralize antibiotics in milk. Beta-lactam and tetracycline residues in milk after administration by several routes have been researched using microbial receptor assays and HPLC. Mastitis therapeutics have been investigated using mastitis challenge models. Additional interests focus on small ruminant and cattle health.
