This aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of subclinical mastitis in native breeds of cows in the Brij region of Mathura and to assess the accuracy of the cow-side test. Milk samples were taken from selected populations and screened through cow-side test. Positive or border-like findings were further tested for Somatic cell count. The overall clinical mastitis prevalence was 55.83%. Organized farms had a lower prevalence of 44.12%, while unorganized farms exhibited a significantly (p<0.05) higher prevalence of 71.15%, indicating epidemiological diversity. In the context of two commonly reared breeds, Sahiwal cows showed a higher prevalence at 61%, in contrast to Haryana cows with a prevalence of 49%. The 3-5 parity groups demonstrated the highest prevalence at 63.7%. Diagnostic tests, including the California mastitis test (CMT) and Somatic cell count (SCC), unveiled variations in prevalence rates.
