Overview

Cross-sectional study reports a 20.7% subclinical mastitis prevalence linked to poor hygiene in dairy goats, highlighting the need for improved herd management practices.

Key Points

Subclinical mastitis affects 20.7% of dairy goats, with infection risk rising markedly among does housed in unclean barns or presenting with soiled udders.
An estimated 20.7% prevalence emerged across 150 tested dairy goats, where screening with the California mastitis test confirmed widespread asymptomatic udder disease.
Cross-sectional evaluation across 22 farms applied a generalised linear mixed model, linking multiparous does and late stage lactation to elevated infection.
Highlights the necessity of stringent barn sanitation and improved milking hygiene, which can curb subclinical mastitis transmission and safeguard dairy goat milk yield.
