AIM The objective of this study was to investigate the ability of infrared thermography (IRT) technique and its interrelationship with conventional mastitis indicators for the early detection of mastitis in Holstein Friesian (HF) crossbred cows. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 76 quarters of lactating HF crossbred (Bos indicus × Bos taurus) cows (n=19) were monitored for body temperature (i....

The present study was undertaken to compare five laboratory diagnostic tests for sub-clinical mastitis in cattle and buffaloes and to compute cost, time taken by each test and its ranking for availability, adoptability, interpretability and sensitivity. There were 352 cases with each test type viz. California Mastitis Test (CMT), White Side Test (WST), White Side + Dye (WSTD), Surf Test and Sur...

This study was conducted to compare the performance of California Mastitis Test (CMT) and Draminski Detector (DMD) for monitoring udder health in lactating buffalo. A total 647 milk samples collected from 145 apparently healthy buffalo cows during first three months lactation period were used this study. Both DMD CMT performed on-farm directly after sampling milk. The diagnostic accuracy evalua...

The antimicrobial susceptibility of the pathogens is essential for successful treatment bovine mastitis. Antimicrobial resistance develops in microbes as a result indiscriminate use antibiotics. Therefore, regular screening required selection appropriate and effective antimicrobials. A study was carried out 60 crossbred dairy cows early lactation with objective to assess morphological character...

Subclinical mastitis is one of the most significant diseases that cause economic losses in dairy cattle farming. This investigation was conducted on 112 head Holstein Friesian cows order to reveal relationship between subclinical and electrical conductivity milk composition quality. In study, CMT (California Mastitis Test) CSCC (Classified Somatic Cell Count) used diagnosis were as a binary res...

Subclinical mastitis is an important udder disease that negatively affects both the animal health and reduces profitability in dairy farms. The increasing performance of thermal cameras over time their usability different areas increase use livestocks. Infrared thermography (IRT) technology a noninvasive method can estimate surface temperature objects. objective this study was to evaluate early...

Concurrent falls in milk production and electrical resistance of composite milk were examined in Israeli Holstein cows. The cows were milked three times a day by a system that recorded yield and the lowest electrical resistance in the composite milk from the four glands. The study included two groups: cows that experienced on day 0 a decline in resistance and milk production > or = 20% from the...

Mammary gland quarters of 139 lactating dairy cows from small-scale dairy herds were examined visually and by palpation for teat lesions and by California mastitis test (CMT) and bacterial culture for subclinical mastitis. Teat lesions were observed in 97 teats. These included teat chaps (39.2%), teat papillomas (23.7%), teat erosions (22.7%), teat fistulae (5.1%), inverted teats (5.1%) and blo...
