Mastitis is a dairy farm disease which causes important loss for dairy industry. Mastitis control is permanent challenge for dairy farm [1]. Milk loss link to mastitis was assessed to reach 17% of world milk production [1]. In Burkina Faso, this loss is not assessed and remains unknown area. It is well known that the most spread mastitis is subclinical which has considerable impact on farm and ...

The California Mastitis Test has previously been adapted for use in an inline, cow-side sensor and relies on the fact that the viscosity of the gel formed during the test is proportional to the somatic cell concentration. In this paper, the use of capillary and rotational viscometry was compared in light of the expected rheology of the gel formed during the test. It was found that the gel is no...

Streptococcus agalactiae is a major contagious pathogen causing bovine sub-clinical mastitis. The present investigation was carried out to determine some phenotypic characteristics of the S. agalactiae strains isolated from bovine mastitis cases in dairy cows of Shahrekord in the west-center of Iran. One hundred eighty California mastitis test (CMT) positive milk samples were bacteriologically ...

A study was conducted between December, 2012 and January, 2013 to estimate prevalence, isolate major bacterial pathogens for mastitis and to establish antimicrobial sensitivity for isolates in Asella government dairy farm. A total of 66 lactating cows and 264 quarters were constituted in the study based on clinical and California Mastitis Test (CMT). Accordingly, 44(66.6 %) cows had mastitis, w...

A total of 90 cows from three commercial farms were used to evaluate the relationship between subclinical mastitis and clinical mastitis and thermal nociceptive threshold. Milk strips from all udder quarters were tested for clinical mastitis with visual inspection of milk and udder alterations and for subclinical mastitis using California Mastitis Test. Milk yield was recorded, milk was sampled...

BACKGROUND The mastitis subclinical and clinical in cows caused by fungi has been increased specially by yeast of the genus Candida. OBJECTIVE To identify what yeasts were present in milk samples obtained from mammary glands of healthy cows, and others suffering subclinical or clinical mastitis. METHODS From a total of 1,095 milk samples 342 were from mammary glands of healthy dairy cows, 3...

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of subclinical mastitis in dairy cows in Kosovo and the antimicrobial susceptibility of isolated bacteria. Six hundred and twenty four milk samples from individual quarters of 156 lactating cows were tested using California Mastitis Test (CMT) and the positive samples were further analysed using conventional methods for isolation of main mas...

This study was undertaken to investigate the effectiveness of California mastitis test (CMT), white side test (WST), chlorine test and electrical conductivity (EC) in the diagnosis of subclinical mastitis in dairy cows in a comparison to somatic cell count (SCC) as a standard method for detection of subclinical mastitis. One hundred random samples of cow’s milk were collected from different dai...
