“…The frequency of a higher incidence of mastitis in the hind quarters was similar in many studies (Khan and Muhammad, 2005;Srinivasan et al, 2013;Tanwar et al, 2018), while different from study of Amer et al (2018) in Ecuador where the incidence of positive samples was higher in fore quarter than hind quarter. There is no exact explanation for the high mastitis incidence in hind quarters compared to fore quarters, however, this can be due to their anatomical position and their greater exposure to urine and manure, which make them more subject to infection.…”

Subclinical mastitis is a multifactorial, complex, and one of the most common and money wasting disease in dairy cattle farming. The objective of this study was to carry out a screening of subclinical mastitis by California mastitis test and to determine the infectious aetiology. A score ≥ 1 was considered positive. A total of 140 udder quarters were clinically examined, from which 135 were screened for mastitis; 42 samples were positive and were subjected to bacteriological analysis. In addition, an antibiotic sensitivity test was done. The prevalence of subclinical mastitis was 31.1% at quarters level and 62.8% in dairy cows, hind quarters were the most infected 34.78% compared to fore quarters 27.27%. The frequency of infected quarters, according to California mastitis test scores +1, +2 and +3, was 7.4%, 14.8% and 8.8%, respectively. The most isolated germs from the samples were coagulase negative staphylococci with a rate of 43.8%, followed by Enterobacter cloacae (8.77%), Enterococcus faecium (7.02%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (5.26%) and Enterococcus faecalis (5.26%). In vitro susceptibility test showed that all the isolates tested were sensitive to neomycin. The trimethoprim, spectinomycin and erythromycin were active against all staphylococci, and had a moderate effect on Enterobacteriaceae. Amoxicillin was inactive against all strains. The prevalence of mastitis was high, which may cause low productivity and economic loss to dairy farmers. Detailed investigation is needed to identify the risk factors. Hence, there is a need to reduce the incidence of subclinical mastitis by adopting preventive and therapeutic measures for better economy of the dairy farmers.

Bovine mastitis is a dairy cattle disease with high economic impact. Subclinical mastitis (SCM) contributes to most of the financial losses. A total of 229 milk samples were subjected to surf field mastitis (SFMT) test and Tanuchek SCC kit to quantify their efficacy in detecting sub clinical mastitis in dairy cows, of which 41 samples were found to be positive with SFMT and 20 samples positive with Tanuchek SCC kit. The study concluded that SFMT was significantly (p < 0.05) more sensitive than Tanuchek SCC kit.

A model of convergence was developed and tested for mastitis control at village level in Murrah buffaloes. Village Chindar of Fatehabad district of Haryana was selected purposively. For this study 100 farmers who were registered members of the milk cooperative society and were contributing milk daily, were purposively selected. Freshly calved buffaloes (100) from December, 2018 to February, 2019 owned by these farmers were selected randomly for this study. As per the plan of work for testing the model, different types of interventions were made by multiple agencies collaborating together for testing the model. In this study, 400 milk samples of 100 healthy buffaloes were tested for somatic cell count (SCC) by california mastitis test (CMT) and milk culture analysis. Culturally positive samples were treated according to antibiotic sensitivity test (ABST) report. Besides interventions like trainings, public health campaigns, demonstration of CMT to the farmers was done individually. The experiment was repeated after 60 days by testing the milk samples for SCC and treating culturally positive samples according to ABST report which lead to decrease in SCC to the tune of 32%.
