Abstract: Mastitis is an inflammatory condition of mammary glands characterized by changes in physical characteristics of udder or milk. Its diagnosis is based on clinical signs and increased SCC. The higher SCC indicated the higher possibility of pathogen contamination. In the present study a total of 284 lactating does belonging to the government farms and private goat keepers in and around Jabalpur were screened using MCMT as a diagnostic test for clinical mastitis. The mean pH value recorded as 6.82±0.07 in T5 group (Inj. Enrofloxacin + H.F.D. + Aloe vera) was nearer to the normal mean value (6.54±0.00) of Somatic Cell Count obtained (18.51±3.77) indicated significant reduction in somatic cell count (SCC). Further the lactose content (4.36B±0.06) and fat content (4.23B±0.06) were reported to be increase significantly in T5 group, whereas mean value of protein (3.41B±0.01) and SNF (11.25B±0.03) revealed gradual increase in all the groups under therapeutic trial, but a significant increase was observed in T5 group. So, on the basis of decreased pH and SCC values and a significant increase in milk parameters viz, lactose %, fat%, protein% and SNF% reported in T5. Further, in treatment the maximum cure rate was also reported in T5 group showed overall superiority in terms of the efficacy of the teat dip used under T5 group as compared to the other teat dips used in T1 (Inj-Enrofloxacin), T2 (Inj-Enrofloxacin + Aloe vera), T3 (Inj-Enrofloxacin + HFT) and T4 (Inj-Enrofloxacin + 0.4% Chlorhexidine Gluconate).
