Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
The present study was conducted to screen the sub-clinical and clinical mastisis samples collected from Kerala veterinary University Livestock Farm, Mannuthy, by using California mastitis Test and Somatic cell count. A total of 80 lactating crossbred cows were subjected to following screening test for detecting subclinical mastitis (SCM) and clinical mastitis. Screening results revealed 28 cows were positive for subclinical mastitis (35 per cent), 19 cows were positive for clinical mastitis (23.75 per cent) and 33 cows were found to healthy (41.25 per cent). These three groups of samples were subjected for somatic cell count. A significant (P<0.01) increase in milk somatic cell count SCC in subclinical and clinical mastitis affected cows were noticed when compared with healthy crossbred cows. SCC is was found to be the most accurate method for detecting subclinical mastitis.
