Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The study was conducted at upazilla veterinary hospital, Keshabpur, Jessore during the period of March 2013 to August 2013 to estimate the impact of clinical mastitis in dairy cows. Clinical mastitis was diagnosed on the basis of clinical signs and strip cup test (SCT). A total of 432 cases of dairy animals were recorded among them 65 cases were mastitis. The overall prevalence of mastitis was 15.05%. The prevalence of mastitis was 12.04% and 3.01% in cows and does respectively. In doe, the prevalence was 7.14% in Jamunapari goat and 4.46% in Black Bengal goat. Reproductive stages enhanced the prevalence of mastitis. The prevalence of mastitis was also significantly affected by floor conditions where 10.42% in cows and 8.04% in does in the farms with brick-block floor and 6.51% in cows and 3.57% in does with soil floor. The efficacy of Ceftriaxone and amoxicillin was better than gentamicin and streptomycin. Hygienic condition showed lower prevalence of mastitis 1.63% and 1.79% in cow and does respectively than the unhygienic farm.

Objectives:

The main objective of this study was to know the prevalence of mastitis in relation to species, farm type, breed and hygienic condition.

Methodology:

The study was conducted at Upazila veterinary hospital, Keshabpur, Jessore during the period of March 2013 to August 2013. A total of 432 cattle suffering with mammary gland disease were examined where 65 cases were mastitis. A case of clinical mastitis was diagnosed on the basis of clinical findings and strip cup test (SCT). Udders and milk were examined to identify clinical mastitis. Clinical findings observed inflammatory udder redness, heat, swelling and pain. The milk could vary from having a few milk clots (garget) to serum with clumps of fibrin in the secretion, The mammary gland was edematous or very hard on palpation and The milk looked watery serous or purulent. Mainly mastitis was diagnosed based on clinical signs. But for the Strip cup test, Milk samples were collected aseptically from an individual affected quarter of udder. Before taking samples the history of the milch animal and clinical signs was recorded through a questionnaire. Strip cup test (SCT) The strip cup consists of a flat enamel plate partitioned into an area. The plate is black in color so that clot is clearly visible. Besides enamel plate this test can be done in a bowel covering a black cloth. At first udder was cleaned and wiped with clean cloth soaked in disinfectant→ then udder was allowed to dry→ milk was collected directly in sterile tube and labeled and then poured on black cloth above the enamel plate→ then observed the clots or flakes. Statistical analysis Data were analyzed by Chi-square test to observe the significant influence of different prevalence, breed, quarters of udder, reproductive state, periparturient disease, floor components, hygienic condition, treatment and breeds was determined by chi-square test using SPSS-11.5 computer package program.

Achievement/Findings:

The study also showed that higher prevalence of clinical mastitis in large, lower, medium and backyard farm is due to management system as well as proper knowledge of dairy farming. A well documented continued research and educational effort is required to increase producer awareness to reduce mastitis in dairy enterprise.
