Abstract:
Mastitis is one of the most expensive illnesses to deal within milch animals. Mastitis is divided into two types: subclinical and clinical. A total of 82 milk samples were collected from apparently healthy (52) and clinical mastitis (30) cases of goats in and around the Anand district. Total 76 bacterial isolates from mastitic milk were identified based on morphological, cultural, and biochemical characteristics. About 7.3% cases were found positive by cultural examination for Escherichia coli and molecular methods by PCR using species specific primer of Escherichia coli.
