Abstract

Mastitis is one of the most important disease in dairy animals. It is inflammation of mammary gland accompanied by physical and pathological changes of mammary glandular tissue and physical, chemical and microbiological changes of milk with or without systemic reaction. On an average, the total failure cost due to bovine mastitis is estimated to be $147 per cow per year, particularly contributed by milk production losses and culling, which represents 11% to 18% of the gross margin per cow per year [1]. Mammary tissue damage leading to decreased milk production accounts for 70% of the total losses [2].
