The study was conducted from November 2018 to April 2019 to estimate the prevalence of sub clinical and clinical mastitis, to asses associated risk factors and to isolate the major bacterial pathogens in dairy goat in Haramaya district of Eastern Ethiopia. Among 384 lactating goats examined, 173 (45.05%) were infected with mastitis, 17 were infected with clinical mastitis and 156 were subclinical mastitis. Results of clinical examination and CMT showed clinical mastitis and subclinical mastitis. On an average 4.43% (n=17), 40.62% (n=156) and 54.95% (n=211) goats showed clinical, subclinical and negative for mastitis respectively. The highest prevalence of clinical (5.50%) and subclinical (50%) mastitis was seen at the age between 4 to 5 years and above 5 years respectively. A lowest preva- lence (1.80%) of clinical and subclinical mastitis (32.10%) was seen at 2 to 3 years age group. .. Read More»
