Mastitis causes large economic losses to farmers in terms of loss of milk yield, veterinary care, decreased value of animals and many more. It is a big hurdle in the dream of ‘Doubling farmer’s income by 2022’ for the livestock farmers. It needs urgent attention in terms of early and better diagnosis, proper treatment and posttreatment management and most importantly, the prevention and control.
