This analysis is only available if results of MRec is available

Here you will find definitions and calculation bases for each indicator as well as background information on benchmarking.

Ratio	Definition	Period
Proportion of udder-healthy animals	Proportion of animals with cell content ≤100,000 cells/ml of milk in all lactating animals in the current MRec	Current MRec
Proportion of chronically ill animals with poor chances of recovery	Proportion of animals each with a cell content >700,000 cells/ml of milk in the past three successive MRec in all lactating animals	Current MRec
Rate of new infections in lactation	Proportion of animals with cell content >100,000/ml milk in the current MLP to all animals with cell content ≤100,000 cells/ml milk in the previous MRec MRec	Current MRec
New infection rate in the dry period	Proportion of animals with cell content >100,000 cells/ml of milk in the first MRec after calving in all animals dried with a cell content ≤100,000 cells/ml of milk	Moving annual average
Cure rate in the dry period	Proportion of animals with cell content ≤100,000 cells/ml milk in the first MRec after calving in all animals that have been dried with a cell content >100,000 cells/ml milk	Moving annual average
First-lactating mastitis rate	Proportion of first lactates with cell content >100,000 cells/ml of milk in the first MRec after calving at all first lactating ends.	Moving annual average

Lactations | Evaluation of a selectable MRec, whereby the lactation can be restricted or as shown here in the example all lactations.

Month | The development of udder health can be evaluated over the period of 12 Results, alternatively by month
