Overview

This study reports significant prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli in dairy cows, implying hygiene issues impact mastitis rates.

Key Points

  • Over half of the mastitis-positive samples tested positive for Staphylococcus aureus, indicating a major concern for dairy practices.
  • Analyses showed a significant 50.6% prevalence of S. aureus and 24.1% for E. coli in the examined milk samples.
  • Mastitis risk factors were assessed through bacteriological examination in dairy cows across specific districts in Ethiopia.
  • Improved hygiene management and farmer education are essential to mitigate mastitis and enhance milk safety in the region.
