Overview

Cross-sectional analysis identifies high bovine mastitis rates and key bacterial pathogens, suggesting improved hygiene may reduce prevalence.

Key Points

  • The overall prevalence of bovine mastitis observed was 72.8%, indicating a significant health concern for dairy cows.
  • Clinical mastitis accounted for 9.5%, while subclinical mastitis made up 63.3% of cases, requiring improved detection methods.
  • Major bacterial pathogens isolated included Staphylococcus aureus (11.25%) and E. coli (10%), which are critical for understanding mastitis risk.
  • Alterations in milk composition showed significant differences in protein and pH between mastitic and non-mastitic milk, impacting dairy quality.
