Bacterial Counts in Bedding Materials Used on Nine Commercial Dairies
Open accessAbstract
Bacterial counts were monitored for 1 yr in bedding materials used on nine commercial dairies. Organic materials used to bed lactating cows had significantly higher moisture content and gram-negative bacterial, coliform, Klebsiella species, and streptococcal counts than did inorganic materials. Klebsiella species counts were higher in sawdust than in chopped straw. Streptococcal counts were higher in chopped straw than sawdust. Bacterial counts did not differ between sand and crushed limestone. Gram-negative bacterial and coliform counts were higher during summer and fall than in winter and spring months. Streptococcal counts did not differ among seasons of the year. Linear relationships were significant between total rates of clinical mastitis during lactation and both gram-negative bacterial and Klebsiella species counts in lactating cow bedding. These data indicate that bacterial populations differed between both types of bedding and among seasons of the year. Rates of clinical mastitis were related to bacterial counts in bedding.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
