Abstract
Mastitis can be considered the main obstacle to Brazilian dairy productivity, resulting in further risks to public health, especially due to the indiscriminate use of antimicrobials. Therefore, technologies that aim to contribute to the dynamization of the diagnosis and the consequent adoption of control, prevention and treatment measures are of high importance for the sector. In this sense, the present review addresses the concept of on-farm culturing (microbiological), arguing about its implementation, available methodologies, execution, results interpretation, as well as its contribution for the performance of selective dry cow therapy, and health monitoring of animals submitted to robotic milking systems. In conclusion, it is an affordable and efficient alternative for on-farm microbiological monitoring of mastitis.
