APT in the Dairy Farm

Normalizing SCC, Improved Milk Yield and Quality, and Reduced Culling

The treatment program recommended by Armenta was developed based on two decades of APT use among human patients and validating  testing on 10’s of  dairy herds.

According to the farmers and veterinarians involved in these treatments,

the APT equipment was extremely user-friendly and comfortable, and it performed very well. The treatments were simple to administer, and the animals displayed no resistance, remaining calm for the duration of the treatment. The unprecedented improvements in productivity and animal welfare meant an 80% reduction in culling rates, and a measurable and rapid improvement in farm profitability.

Higher milk Quality Dramatically reduced SCC levels

397 cows
with sub-clinial mastitis

APT treatment group

Untreated control group
(n = 86)

68 cows
with clinical mastitis

APT treatment group
(n = 32)

Antibiotics group
(n = 36)

60 Days

*Recovered = SCC (somatic cell count) < 300,000 cell/ml

>70% curing the inflammation

regardeless Clinical or Sub-Clinical Mastitis

Higher milk Yield
Increased milk production and quality

206 cows

Untreated control group
(n = 43)

46 cows
with clinical mastitis

50 Days

APT treatment group
(n = 13)

Antibiotics group
(n = 33)

*Day in milk was similar in both groups

*Day in milk was similar in both groups

The reduction in the bulk tank milk is due to: Culling, Drying of quarter, Reduced milk production after recovery.

>10% increase in daily milk yield over no treatment
>30% in total milk production

Lower Culling Rates

75 cows
identified with clinical mastitis (visually or due to SCC elevations > 1M cell/ml)

Control

Using APT;
over 80% decrease in culling rates
