Abstract
Mastitis is a multi-etiological and complex disease, which is defined as inflammation
of parenchyma of mammary glands. It is characterized by physical, chemical and, usually,
bacteriological changes in milk, and pathological changes in glandular tissues (Radostis et
al., 2000). The occurrence of disease is an outcome of interplay between three major factors:
infectious agents, host resistance, and environmental factors (Gera and Guha, 2011). Mastitis
is a global problem as it adversely affects animal health, quality of milk and the economics of
milk production, affecting every country, including developed ones and causes huge financial
losses (Sharma et al., 2007).
