Data for this study originated from the National Cohort of Dairy Farms of the Canadian Bovine Mastitis Research Network (CBMRN), which consisted of 91 commercial dairy farms located in 4 regions across Canada. Dairy herds were selected to replicate the regional proportion of freestall systems. AMU data were collected from February 2007 to December 2008. Forty-liter receptacles were placed on participating farms for collecting data for AMU. Producers, farm workers, and other farm personnel were instructed to deposit the empty containers of all drugs used by them or the veterinarian for treatment in calves, heifers, and adult cows (dry cows and lactating cows) into these receptacles. Antimicrobial use data were quantified in units of animal defined-daily doses (ADD). Minimum inhibitory concentration values were determined for 394 E. coli isolates that came from 394 quarters of 353 cows on 76 dairy farms.

3 different sets of milk samples were collected. The first set included milk samples from clinical mastitis cases. These samples were collected before and after antimicrobial treatment. The second set included milk samples from nonclinical lactating cows; a subsample of 15 fresh and lactating cows was randomly selected per farm using a computer-driven method of random sampling without replacement. The third set of milk samples were collected from another selected group of 15 cows that were expected to remain in the herd until at least 2 wk after calving. Because multiple isolates could come from a single cow, it was decided to randomly include only 1 isolate per quarter. The isolates comprised IMI and subclinical and clinical mastitis cases.
