Associations of udder biometry with subclinical mastitis in Gir crossbred cows

The investigation was undertaken on 110 Gir crossbred cows of different order lactation and stage maintained at Research Cum Development Project Cattle, MPKV, Rahuri. overall least squares means udder length, width, depth circumference were 65.23 ± 1.45, 63.24 19.03 0.51 86.49 1.50 cm respectively. analysis variance showed significant (P<0.05) effect due to length in cows. Also, had (P<0.01) width circumference. However, exerted non-significant influence all measurement traits. In positive correlation with depth. highly (P<0.01). There frequencies trough, round, goaty pendulous type 63.64%, 8.18%, 11.82% 16.36% Among 48 (43.64%) found for subclinical mastitis. higher occurrence mastitis observed having (66.66%) followed by (53.84 %), round (44.44 %) trough (35.71 shape udder. Maximum number cases larger (>75 cm), (>25 cm) (>95 cm). Highest (78.26%) sixth above lactation. noted which late (46.15%) early (40%) mid (37%) traits shape, association incidence
