Early detection of mastitis using SFMT in dairy animals

GS Haritha, R Kasi Viswanath, G.M.V. Prasada Rao

Abstract

Bovine mastitis is a dairy cattle disease with high economic impact. Subclinical mastitis (SCM) contributes to most of the financial losses. A total of 229 milk samples were subjected to surf field mastitis (SFMT) test and Tanuchek SCC kit to quantify their efficacy in detecting sub clinical mastitis in dairy cows, of which 41 samples were found to be positive with SFMT and 20 samples positive with Tanuchek SCC kit. The study concluded that SFMT was significantly (p<0.05) more sensitive than Tanuchek SCC kit.
