Journal Title: World's Veterinary Journal - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Clinical mastitis is a disease that causes to significant economic losses in dairy farming. Milk yield losses and treatment costs, are some of them. This study aimed at to determining clinical mastitis treatment cost. Questionnaire forms were conducted on veterinarian clinicians. In accordance to the results of the descriptive statistics from the questionnaire form, average local treatment cost of clinical mastitis in per dairy cows was calculated as 22 TL. The incidence of clinical mastitis in only one lobe was found 61.38%. Average minimum cost of parenteral medicine use in per dairy cow was calculated as 54 TL where maximum cost is 116 TL.
