Under the traditional grazing system on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, the amount of milk in domesticated yak (Bos grunniens) with clinical mastitis decreases and the milk composition is altered. To understand the mechanisms of mammary gland secreted milk and disease infection, changes in the protein composition of milk during clinical mastitis were investigated using a proteomic approach. Milk w...

Mastitis is inflammation of the parenchyma of mammary gland, characterized by physical, chemical and bacteriological changes in milk and pathological changes in glandular tissues (16). An annual economic loss of over Rs. 6000 crore due to mastitis has been recorded, of this, Rs. 1700 crore are lost due to clinical mastitis and Rs. 4300 crore due to sub clinical mastitis (7). The situation has b...

Mastitis is the inflammation of the mammary gland, which is usually correlated with intramammary infection (IMI) by bacteria or fungi, being the first more common. Clinical mastitis is manifested by secretion of abnormal milk (i.e. watery milk, presence of flakes in milk, etc.) and/or inflammation (i.e. redness, swelling, hardness, etc.) of the mammary gland. Because it is accepted that the nor...

New tools are needed to detect chronic sub-clinical mastitis, especially in automatic milking systems. Haptoglobin and serum amyloid A (SAA) are the two most sensitive bovine acute phase proteins, and their concentrations increase in milk from cows with clinical mastitis and in milk from cows with experimentally induced chronic sub-clinical Staphylococcus aureus mastitis. The aim of this study ...

The purpose of the research was to investigate cow characteristics, farm facilities, and herd management strategies during the dry period to examine their joint influence on the rate of clinical mastitis after calving. Data were collected over a 2-yr period from 52 commercial dairy farms throughout England and Wales. Cows were separated for analysis into those housed for the dry period (8,710 c...

Mastitis is an inflammation of the udder. mainly caused by pathogenic bacteria both bacterial and yeast. The purpose this review to describe ecology epidemiology mastitis prevalent in West Java propose control options that may be suitable for situation. was conducted using published papers about government documentation. We determined major classification are clinical subclinical mastitis. also...

Mastitis is a costly disease of dairy cattle as it causes a loss in milk yield and milk quality in affected cows. Toll-like receptor (TLR) genes play a role in the host response to a variety of organisms including those inducing mastitis. In the present study, we investigated the polymorphism of TLR2, 4, 6 and 9 genes in Holstein cattle and ...

Mastitis is the most common reason for antimicrobial treatment of dairy cows (Grave et al. 1999; Mitchell et al. 1998). Antimicrobials have been used to treat mastitis for more than fifty years, but consensus about the most efficient, safe, and economical treatment is still lacking. The concept of evidence based medicine has recently been introduced to veterinary medicine (Cockcroft & Holmes, 2...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of intramammary treatment with ceftiofur hydrochloride of nonsevere, clinical coliform mastitis. One hundred four cases on 5 farms met the enrollment criteria for the study. Escherichia coli was the most common coliform species identified in milk samples from cows with mild to moderate clinical mastitis, followed by Klebsiella spp. and En...

Effective mastitis control requires knowledge of the predominant pathogen challenges on the farm. In order to quantify this challenge, the aetiological agents associated with clinical mastitis in 30 milk-recording dairy herds in Ireland over a complete lactation were investigated. Standard bacteriology was performed on 630 pretreatment quarter milk samples, of which 56 per cent were culture-pos...
