Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals 61.18% mastitis prevalence in cows, indicating hygiene and breed influence risk factors.

Key Points

  • The prevalence of bovine mastitis in lactating cows was found to be 61.18%, with subclinical cases more common than clinical cases.
  • Isolation of Staphylococcus aureus occurred in 35.71% of mastitis-positive milk samples, indicating it as a significant pathogen.
  • Key risk factors for mastitis include breed, parity, milking hygiene, and teat end morphology, highlighting the need for targeted interventions.
  • Integrated control measures and farmer training are essential for improving udder health and ensuring better milk quality.
