Global Challenge
Mastitis: The Costliest Disease in Dairy Farming
Mastitis is an inflammation of the udder tissue and a major challenge in dairy farming. It reduces milk yield, affects quality, and increases veterinary costs.If not treated, it can cause permanent udder damage. Worldwide, mastitis leads to millions of dollars in economic losses every year.
Mastitis directly reduces milk yield, with affected cows producing significantly less milk than healthy ones. In addition, milk from infected cows often has to be discarded due to contamination with pathogens and somatic cells. This discarded milk represents millions of liters per year, creating major financial losses for farmers.

Beyond volume, mastitis alters the nutritional and biochemical composition of milk. It increases somatic cell count (SCC) and changes fat and protein stability. These effects reduce the processing quality of dairy products such as cheese and yogurt and lower the market price of milk.

Treating mastitis requires frequent veterinary visits and extensive antibiotic use. These treatments increase costs and lead to milk withdrawal periods, during which milk cannot be sold. This cycle causes both direct financial costs and indirect productivity losses for farms.

If left untreated, mastitis can cause irreversible udder damage. In chronic cases, affected cows are culled prematurely, resulting in costly replacements and long-term herd productivity loss. Mastitis is therefore one of the main reasons for involuntary culling in dairy farms worldwide.

Economic Impact of Mastitis in the EU Dairy Sector
Mastitis is the most costly disease in European dairy farming, causing annual losses estimated at €1.5–2 billion.
The majority of these costs come from reduced milk yield and discarded milk, followed by veterinary expenses,decreased milk quality, and premature culling.
- 65% → Milk yield loss & discarded milk
- 20% → Veterinary treatment & antibiotics
- 10% → Reduced milk quality
- 5% → Premature culling & replacements
The Solution:
AntiMastitor is the first device in the world to combine antiseptic teat dipping with low-frequency electrical stimulation. This innovation stimulates the smooth muscles around the teat canal, causing them to contract and close the canal within seconds. By blocking the entry of bacteria instantly, the device eliminates the high-risk window after milking.
After milking, the teat canal remains open for 2–3 hours, leaving cows highly vulnerable to bacterial infections that cause mastitis. Conventional teat dipping methods provide only partial protection and do not close the teat canal immediately.

Scientific Research
AntiMastitor has been scientifically validated through extensive research. Six-month field trials confirmed a significant reduction in mastitis incidence and somatic cell counts (SCC). The findings have been published in internationally recognized peer-reviewed journals, including the Journal of Dairy Research (Cambridge University Press, UK) and the Archives of Animal Breeding (Leibniz Institute for Farm Animal Biology – FBN, Germany).
Awards
The device has also been recognized globally for its innovation. It was awarded the Gold Medal at ISIF 2021, one of the leading international invention competitions, and the Silver Medal in the Teknofest Agriculture Technologies category. Additional national innovation awards underline its importance for the dairy industry.
Patents & Permissions
Beyond research and awards, AntiMastitor is protected by patents in 49 countries and has been certified and authorized for veterinary use. With ATAER Global as the official distributor, the device has gained international recognition as a reliable and groundbreaking solution in mastitis prevention.
Easy Application in Four Simple Steps
AntiMastitor is designed for daily farm use. The application process is quick, simple, and takes only 3 seconds per teat.
Fill
The device bottle is filled with an antiseptic solution. This ensures that each teat is disinfected during application, providing a hygienic start to the process.
Attach
The filled bottle is securely attached to the device, and the power switch is turned on. AntiMastitor is now ready for immediate use.
Dip
Each teat is dipped into the antiseptic solution for just 3 seconds. At the same time, low-frequency electrical pulses stimulate the teat muscles and close the canal instantly.
Discard
After all teats are treated, the remaining solution is safely discarded. This keeps the process clean, efficient, and ready for the next milking.
