Abstract:
The present study was conducted to determine the occurrence of subclinical mastitis (SCM) in pooled milking animal samples and to follow SCM cases in individual herds of selected villages. The California Mastitis Test (CMT) was proposed for evaluating SCM in pooled samples as well as individual animals in herds. All positive samples were cultured, isolated, and biochemically tested to determine the current state of the microorganisms involved in subclinical mastitis. ABST was performed on all of the isolates. The most common organisms isolated were coagulase positive Staphylococci. Bacterial isolates were very susceptible to Ceftriaxone but not to Penicillin-G.
