Dairy milk producers are always concerned about the mastitis since the establishment of dairy farms. Mastitis in the dairy farm is a disease complex in which bacterial infections, trauma and faulty managerial practices play important roles. Experiences in attempt to control mastitis indicate that while the occurrence of information in the udder may not be entirely preventable in all cows within herd and the intensity of clinical attackes may be reduced significantly through better management. It is reported in the literature that there is pronounced positive relationship between the teat and udder shape size and the occurrence of mastitis and milk production. Thus, the veterinarian should be throughly familiar with the teat and udder morphology for the diagnosis of mastitis and the use of a antibiotic and other chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of mastitis.
Udder, Mastitis, Cattle, Teat
Savar dairy farm, Dhaka; Rajshahi Dairy farm, Rajshahi; Tangail SDF farm, Tangail and Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh.
1) To study the relationship between different morphological character of udder and teats and milk production.
2) Effect of environment, age, breed and parity on the occurrence of mastitis.
3) To study the udder health parameters (Diagnosis and treatment of mastitis).
The research work will be conducted jointly with the Department of Microbiology and Hygiene. To conduct this research work, Savar dairy farm, Rajshahi Dairy farm, Tangail SDF farm and Agricultural University dairy farm will be included in this study. A survey will be conducted on overall management system, sanitation, Hygienic conditions of the farms, udder and teat morphology, udder diseases and production traits will be studied. The breed of the animals, age and parity will also be recorded. The project will be completed within 2 years period of time in two phases.

This study has immense impact in selecting dairy cows and genetic improvement of the individual resistance concerning mastitis and udder health control. To control mastitis indicate that while the occurrence of information in the udder may not be entirely preventable in all cows within herd and the intensity of clinical attackes reduced significantly. It is reported in the literature that there is pronounced positive relationship between the teat and udder shape size and the occurrence of mastitis and milk production.
