25 percent of all cows are culled because of mastitis?

Yes. Once mastitis has set in, the quarter or quarters in the cow's udder can become infectious to the point where that quarter is no longer functionable to synthesize and secrete milk. Since mastitis is an infection of the udder, pains also have to be taken to take care of the cow and make sure the milk is not combined with cows that do not have mastitis. So, logically, the best way to "treat" cows with mastitis is to cull them and have them in a separate parlor where they can be treated, then once they are better ship them out. It's sad, but its reality.

Is mastitis contagious in cattle?

NO, it is NOT contagious. Mastitis is not a disease that is spread around by direct or indirect contact. It's an infection of the udder that is caused by bacteria entering the teat canal into the cavity of one or more quarters of the udder, or by injury when a full udder is bumped and bruised excessively. It cannot be spread from cow to cow like other illnesses can. Mastitis is not caused by a pathogen that spreads through contact from other cows or through other vectors like flies, airborne, or feed equipment. That is why cows with mastitis are not quarantined, because it is not necessary to quarantine them, particularly milk cows. Beef cows may need to be quarantined to have their infected quarter(s) milked out twice a day, but it is not because the illness is contagious.
