Factors affecting composition of mastitic milk of Friesian cattle in Sudan

Abstract

The composition of mastitic cows milk had a highly significant decrease in total solids, caseins, lactose, casein number and fat%, while ash chloride, total proteins and Koslter's value increased. The difference between maximum, minimum mean and standard deviation of milk constituents between healthy and mastitic cows were determined. The types of bacteria isolated had significant effects only on lactose and acidity.
