Abstract

A retrospective study was made on some of the epidemiological aspects of mastitis in Kashmir valley. The study was conducted at the clinical services complex of SKUAST Kashmir from 1998–2002.Highest incidence was observed in the year 2000 (10.3%) and lowest incidence in the year 2002 (5.98%). The incidence was higher in cows followed by goat and sheep. Most of the cases were observed in the months of July, August and September with less no of cases in October, November and December. The chemotherapeutic studies of the mastitis milk samples showed 100 per cent sensitivity to ciprofloxacin and gentamicin while there was complete resistance to Ampicillin and Neomycin.
