| Summary: | Mastitis is a common driver of antibiotic use in dairy farms and is exacerbated in low-income settings by the lack of diagnostics and treatment strategies. This study assessed the decision-making process of animal health providers (AHPs) in managing mastitis in small-holder dairy farms in Kiambu County, Kenya. Data were collected from 114 AHPs on: (i) demographics (age, sex, education level, years of veterinary practice), (ii) decision-making process relating to management of clinical mastitis, (iii) antibiotic use practices (brands, frequency), and (iv) attitudes and perceptions towards udder health and mastitis management.
