Mastitis Pattern<br />
Analysis Tool (MPAT)<br />
_<br />
The Mastitis Pattern Analysis Tool (MPAT) provides a preliminary<br />
diagnosis of the major sources and mechanisms of spread of<br />
mastitis on farm, as well as providing a list of actions/controls<br />
relevant to the pattern identified.<br />
It is a fully automated solution provided via the Remedy online platform. The tool analyses your<br />
herd’s data and produces a report on the pattern of mastitis on your farm.<br />
It will identify:<br />
• Predominant infection pattern (Environmental/Contagious, Lactation/Dry period)<br />
• Seasonality of infection<br />
• Infection in heifers<br />
How it works:<br />
• Data is shared to Remedy every time a new milk recording occurs<br />
• The farmer can access an up-to-date MPAT report via the Remedy platform whenever they<br />
wish<br />
It is worth noting that some milk processors and retailers are asking for the MPAT to be used<br />
quarterly by their farms as part of their milk contract.<br />
In future the report will be included on <strong>Herd</strong> Companion.<br />
