Abstract: The results of the 1965-6 New Zealand national mastitis survey (Anon:, 1967) indicated that β-haemolytic staphylococci were the most common bacteria isolated from the milk of dairy cows. Effective control of β-haemolytic stapyhlococci on a national scale depends ultimately upon an understanding of population changes of this organism within the cow and within the herd. This paper records observations on β-haemolytic stapyhlococci in a dairy herd over a 2-year period.
