Abstract: Factors associated with time to clearance of mycoplasma mastitis were studied in 18 dairy cattle herds. Most herds cleared mycoplasma mastitis within 1 month; < 50% of the herds culled diseased cows preferentially, yet culling was not associated with hastened clearance. Other known mastitis biosecurity and management practices were not associated with clearance time.
