Author(s): SK Sharma, Parmjeet, Kuldeep Kumar and Monika Joshi
Abstract: In present investigation, fore-milk samples of 188 quarters from 47 apparently healthy Gir cows of different parity and lactation were collected and subjected to modified California mastitis test, total somatic cell count and culture examination. Prevalence of subclinical mastitis in Gir cows was 26.06 percent (49/188) and 40.42 percent (19/47) on quarter and animal basis, respectively by cultural examination. Lactation number-wise prevalence was found highest in IIIrd lactation (55.55 percent) on animal basis. Staphylococci was most prevalent organism (49.09 percent) followed by Streptococci (23.64 percent), E. coli (14.55 percent), Corynebacterium spp. (7.27 percent) and Bacillus Spp. (5.45 percent).
