Mastitis is udder inflammation that can be caused by the entry of pathogenic bacteria through the teat. One of the treatments that can prevent bacteria infection is teat dipping. This research was aimed to identify the effect of teat dipping after milking to the presence of pathogenic bacteria that cause subclinical mastitis (Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus agalactiae, and Escherichia coli) and the presence of pathogenic bacteria that cause subclinical mastitis by quarter of udder. Milk samples were taken from normal lactation period of dairy cows, clinically healthy, and positive subclinical mastitis status when the intervention was applied. Sixty seven samples of quarters from 18 dairy cows were identified to the presence of pathogenic bacteria that cause subclinical mastitis before teat dipping and at 1st, 2nd, and 3rd months after teat dipping. Identification of the presence of pathogenic bacteria was done by culturing samples on selective agar media. The presence of common pathogenic bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli decreased significantly after teat dipping, while Streptococcus agalactiae and other pathogenic bacteria did not decrease significantly. The presence of pathogenic bacteria based on the quarter of udder did not show the significance difference. Application of teat dipping after milking was able to decrease the presence of pathogenic bacteria that cause subclinical mastitis.

Salah satu kegiatan yang dapat mencegah infeksi bakteri ke dalam jaringan internal ambing adalah celup puting setelah pemerahan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi pengaruh celup puting setelah pemerahan terhadap keberadaan bakteri patogen, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus agalactiae, dan Escherichia coli pada sapi perah positif mastitis subklinis serta menganalisa keberadaan bakteri tersebut berdasarkan posisi puting. Sampel susu yang digunakan berasal dari sapi perah dalam masa laktasi normal, sehat secara klinis, dan positif menderita mastitis subklinis sebelum diberi perlakuan celup puting. Sejumlah 67 sampel kuartir dari 18 ekor sapi perah diidentifikasi terhadap keberadaan bakteri patogen, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus agalactiae, dan E. coli JSV 35 (1), Juni 2017
