Abstract

In the era of antimicrobial resistance, precisely identifying the causation of bovine mastitis and their antimicrobial sensitivity assessment is of paramount importance. In the present study, analysis of risk factors associated with bovine mastitis in Chennai region revealed that incidence was high in Holstein-Friesian cross-bred cattle, second lactation period and summer months. Among bacterial pathogens, associated Staphylococcus species were found in half of the mastitis cases. In addition, considerable variations were found in susceptibility of isolates to β-lactam, fluoroquinolones and aminoglycosides. In conclusion, continuous monitoring of AMR is need of the hour for the effective control of bovine mastitis.
