Prevalence of Bacterial mastitis in cattle from farmers, houses in Basrah marshes.

Abstract

The pathogenic bacterial isolated from (120) milk samples collected for mastitis cattle were coagulase negative Staphelococcus sp, in 50(42%), samples, Streptococcus agalactia, in 40(33.3% ) and Staphelococcus aureus , in 30(25%) animals which infected with S. aureus had a cute infection. we found the contamination of milk with goagulase negative Staphelococcs are the most frequent bacterial infection in dairy cattle in farmers houses in basrah marshes. It mostly causes subacute form of the disease. S. agalactia are the second causative agents.
