Abstract
Suchitra Sena, D., Mal, G., Kumar, R. and Sahani, M.S. 2000. A preliminary study of prevalence of mastitis in camel. J. Appl. Anim. Res., 20: 27–31.
To study the incidence of mastitis during 1999–2000, a total of 38 lactating camels were analysed in an organised farm. The overall incidence of mastitis was 47.36 per cent with only 5.55 per cent indicating clinical mastitis. The udders were hot and painful in clinical cases and painful in subclinical ones. Camels above 10 years were most susceptible for mastitis. There was a 21.6 per cent decline in the bodyweight of camel calves receiving sub-clinical mastitis milk. The positive samples revealed Streptococcus agalactiae, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and their mixed infections.
