products description :
Streptococcus agalactiae is a major cause of mastitis in dairy cattle and an important source of economic loss for the dairy industry. Infection in cows can either produce an acute febrile disease or a subacute more chronic condition. Both lead to diminishing milk production (hence its name: agalactiae meaning "of no milk"). Outbreaks in herds are common, so this is of major importance for the dairy industry, and programs to reduce the impact of Strep. agalactiae disease have been enforced in many countries over the last 40 years.
