To identify risk factors for subclinical and clinical mastitis in cows with low somatic cell counts (SCC) following infusion with internal teat sealant (ITS) at drying off. Cows with no history of clinical mastitis and a maximum SCC &lt;250,000 cells/mL at any herd test in the lactation before drying off were randomly selected from 36 herds. In the final week of lactation, quarter milk samples were collected aseptically from each selected cow for microbiology, and each quarter was then infused with ITS. Clinical mastitis records from 22 herds and herd test data from all herds were collated to determine potential herd- or cow-level explanatory variables for clinical mastitis over the dry period or in the first 60 days of the subsequent lactation, and subclinical mastitis (SCC &gt;200,000 cells/mL; SCM) at the first herd test after calving. Multivariable, multilevel, logistic regression analyses were used to model the data. At drying off, 44/1,514 (2.8%) cows were infected with a major pathogen. Two of 1,001 (0.2%) cows were diagnosed with clinical mastitis over the dry period. There were 128/1,514 (8.5%) cows with SCM at the first herd test after calving. The odds of SCM were greater for cows with a major pathogen present at drying off than those without (OR = 4.7 (95% CI = 2.29–9.65); p &lt; 0.001), and for third or greater lactation than second lactation cows (OR = 3.16 (95% CI = 1.70–5.88); p &lt; 0.001). For every 1L increase in milk yield at the last herd test before drying off the OR for SCM was 1.07 (95% CI = 1.01–1.13); (p = 0.02), and for each 1 unit increase in ln maximum SCC in the lactation before drying off the OR for SCM was 1.54 (95% CI = 1.13–2.10); (p = 0.01). There were 30/976 (3.1%) cows diagnosed with clinical mastitis in the first 60 days after calving. The odds of clinical mastitis were greater for cows producing &gt;15 L/day at the last herd test of the preceding lactation than cows producing &lt;10 L/day (OR = 4.79 (95% CI = 1.48–15.46); p = 0.009); for each 1 unit increase in ln maximum SCC in the previous lactation the OR for clinical mastitis was 1.96 (95% CI = 1.09–3.54); (p = 0.03), and the odds increased with increasing herd-level cow-case lactational incidence of clinical mastitis in the preceding lactation (p = 0.003). Selection of cows with low SCC for ITS infusion should consider cow milk yield and maximum cow SCC in the preceding lactation.
