Study on Prevalence of Sub-Clinical Mastitis in Crossbred Dairy Cattle and its Potential Risk Factors

Aetio-Prevalence Study on Bovine Sub Clinical Mastitis in Lactating Jersey Cross-Bred Cows

“…Our findings are in agreement with Bhat et al, 2016 who also found higher prevalence of staphylococcal subclinical mastitis to be 66.67%. Coagulasenegative staphylococci are normal flora of healthy teat skin and constitute a constant source of bacteria to colonise the teat end.…”

“…This variation could be due to difference in breeds, farm management, level of production and differences in study methods for studying mastitis employed by the investigators. (Bhat et al, 2016).…”

Role of nanotechnology in mastitis treatment for dairy cows: a mini review

“…Most scientists consider that subclinical mastitis has a greater economic impact when compared to clinical mastitis. Chiefly, the overall prevalence for subclinical mastitis was reported to be 59.43% (Singh et al 2016) with its quarter level incidence of 34.78% (Bhat et al 2016). The most frequent pathogens responsible for causing mastitis are bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus uberis, Streptococcus dysgalactiae, Enterococcus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Pseudomonas spp., as well as fungus such as Cryptococcus or Candida spp.…”

Inflammatory Mediators and Hormonal Changes in Subclinical and Clinically Affected Mastitis Cows

“…Researchers agree that the economic impact of subclinical forms of mastitis is larger than clinical mastitis (Singh et al, 2016). The overall prevalence of sub-clinical mastitis has been reported to be 59.43% with quarter level prevalence of 34.78% (Bhat et al, 2016). The annual economic losses due to mastitis have been calculated to be Rs.7165.51 crores both cows and buffaloes almost with rupees 3649.56 and 3515.95 crores, respectively (PDAMAS, 2011).…”
