Caved out of the erstwhile Gujarat Agricultural University (GAU), the dream institution of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Dr. K. M. Munshi, the AAU was set up to provide support to the farming community in three facets namely education, research and extension activities in Agriculture, Horticulture Engineering, product Processing and Home Science. At present there seven Colleges, seventeen Research Centers and six Extension Education Institute working in nine districts of Gujarat namely Ahmedabad, Anand, Dahod, Kheda, Panchmahal, Vadodara, Mahisagar, Botad and Chhotaudepur AAU's activities have expanded to span newer commodity sectors such as soil health card, bio-diesel, medicinal plants apart from the mandatory ones like rice, maize, tobacco, vegetable crops, fruit crops, forage crops, animal breeding, nutrition and dairy products etc. the core of AAU's operating philosophy however, continues to create the partnership between the rural people and committed academic as the basic for sustainable rural development.

    Mastitis is one of the costliest diseases of dairy cattle. Mastitis is classified as subclinical and clinical mastitis. Clinical mastitis is a condition, which is characterized by local symptoms like swelling of the udder, heat and pain or systemic symptoms like fever, anorexia, depression with milk abnormalities like milk clots, flakes, watery secretions, blood in milk. About 150 species of microorganisms have been incriminated as the causal agents of mastitis. Some times in clinical mastitis after treatment there are reoccurrence of clinical mastitis. Looking to the economic important the present study was undertaken with the following objectives viz. cultural isolation, biochemical characterization and PCR based identification of bacterial pathogens, extraction of DNA from clinical mastitic milk and PCR based identification of major bacterial pathogens, post therapy isolation, identification and quantitation of bacteria by Real-Time PCR and antimicrobial susceptibility testing of the bacterial isolates
