Abstract
Intramammary infection (IMI) or mastitis is considered a potential threat to the dairy
farmers, dairy industry as well as milk consumers. Of the two farms of the disease,
subclinical IMI accounts for a majority of losses incurred on account of udder
infections. The present study was conducted during February, 2007 to July, 2007 on a
total of 112 lactating animals comprising 97 cows {28 Triple cross {Kankrej x Jersey
x Holstein Friesian), 33 Kankrej and 36 Holstein Friesian)} and 15 buffaloes. Besides,
eleven cows {Kankrej x HF, (6 in no.) and Kankrej x Jersey, (5 in no.)} with clinical
mastitis belonging to private dairy farms, were used for conducting a therapeutic trial.
