dc.description.abstractMastitis is the most costly disease of dairy cattle due to economic losses from reduced milk production, treatment costs, increased labour, milk withheld following treatment, death, and premature culling (Miller et al., 1993). Early detection of mastitic cows is important for most dairy farmers to reduce production losses and to enhance prospects of recovery. Diagnosis of clinical mastitis is based on the local and systemic reactions and changes in milk (e.g. off color, watery, bloody appearance and presence of flakes, clots and pus). The diagnosis of subclinical mastitis is more problematic since the milk appears normal but usually has an elevated somatic cell count. Early diagnosis of mastitis is vital because changes in the udder tissue take place much earlier than they become apparent. Various methods, based on physical and chemical changes of milk and cultural isolation of organisms, are used for diagnosis of subclinical mastitis (Emanuelson et al., 1987).en_US
