Objectives were to determine the prevalence of coagulase-positive staphylococcal IMI in primiparous cows at first parturition, to contrast the differences in coagulase-positive staphylococcal IMI in primiparous cows at parturition in herds with high and low prevalences of coagulase-positive staphylococcal IMI in the lactating herd, and to determine the percentage of primiparous cows having persistent coagulase-positive staphylococcal IMI. Milk samples were collected aseptically from cows at the start and end of the study, at dry-off, and at parturition. Herds (n = 18) were split evenly into two categories: high (> 10%) or low (< 5%) prevalence of coagulase-positive staphylococcal IMI. At the start, the mean prevalence of coagulase-positive staphylococcal IMI in high prevalence herds was 30%, ranging from 13 to 65%, and in low prevalence herds was 2%, ranging from 0 to 5%. Overall the prevalence of coagulase-positive staphylococcal IMI in primiparous cows at parturition was 8.1% (67 of 828), ranging from 0 to 27%. Although primiparous cows from high prevalence herds had a higher prevalence of coagulase-positive staphylococcal IMI (9.2%; 40 of 436) at parturition than did primiparous cows from low herds (6.9%; 27 of 392), the difference was not significant. Of primiparous cows with coagulase-positive staphylococcal IMI at parturition, 43% had coagulase-positive staphylococcal IMI at least 2 mo after parturition. Primiparous cows with coagulase-positive staphylococcal IMI at parturition may represent significant reservoirs of infection to uninfected herdmates.
