Introduction Mastitis is one of the most economically important diseases of milch animals and also causes the changes in glandular tissues affecting quality and quantity of milk [1]. Mastitis continues to be the most costly disease of dairy animals. Field surveys of major livestock diseases in Pakistan have ranked mastitis as number one disease of dairy animals [2,3]. In Nili-Ravi buffaloes, ma...

Staphylococcus aureus is the most common contagious pathogen associated with bovine subclinical mastitis. Current diagnosis of S. aureus mastitis is based on bacteriological culture of milk samples and somatic cell counts, which lack either sensitivity or specificity. Identification of milk proteins that contribute to host defense and their variable responses to pathogenic stimuli would enable ...

Introduction and Objective Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus agalactiae are traditionally considered contagious mastitis pathogens mainly causing subclinical infections in dairy cattle. The consequences of subclinical mastitis are economic losses to the farmer and impaired milk quality. To improve the control of contagious mastitis pathogens, knowledge of reservoirs and transmission is cr...

The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of subclinical mastitis on clinicopathological changes in Mastitic friesian. A total of 400 individual milk samples from clinically normal udder quarters of 100 diary friesians were examined microbiologically as well as by using California mastitis test (C.M.T.) for detection of subclinical mastitis and designing rapid diagnostic tests f...

Fast and reliable identification of the microorganisms causing mastitis is important for management of the disease and for targeting antimicrobial treatment. Methods based on PCR are being used increasingly in mastitis diagnostics. Comprehensive field comparisons of PCR and traditional milk bacteriology have not been available. The results of a PCR kit capable of detecting 11 important etiologi...

BACKGROUND The goal of this study was to estimate the distribution of udder pathogens and their antibiotic resistance in Estonia during the years 2007-2009. METHODS The bacteriological findings reported in this study originate from quarter milk samples collected from cows on Estonian dairy farms that had clinical or subclinical mastitis. The samples were submitted by local veterinarians to th...

AIM The aim of this work was to detect antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative bacteria isolated from subclinical mastitis in cattle in West Bengal. MATERIALS AND METHODS The milk samples were collected from the cattle suffering with subclinical mastitis in West Bengal. The milk samples were inoculated into the nutrient broth and incubated at 37°C. On the next day, the growth was transferred i...

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...

Currently, somatic cell count (SCC) and bacterial culture are considered as the gold standard of detecting subclinical Mastitis. Mastitis leads to proliferation of lymphocytes in the supramammary lymph nodes and subsequent enlargement of ipsilateral lymph node. Ultrasonography can be used to survey these changes. A portable ultrasound machine with a 2-5 MHz convex transducer was used to identif...
