Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of subclinical mastitis and risk factors causing subclinicalmastitis in smallholder dairy farms in Afyonkarahisar. California Mastitis Test was applied to 757 quartersbelonging to 202 lactating cows. Seventy-four percent of the cows and 41% of the quarters were subclinicallyinfected. Quarters from cows in smallholder dairy farms with 10 or fewer animals in the herd and quarters fromcows in the later stage of lactation (>180 days in milk (DIM)) were more likely to have subclinical mastitis(p
Özet
Sunulan çalışmada, Afyonkarahisar'da bulunan aile tipi işletmelerde subklinik mastitis insidensinin belirlenmesi ve subklinik mastitise neden olan risk faktörlerinin belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Laktasyondaki 202 ineğin 757 meme lobuna California Mastitis Testi yapıldı. İneklerin %74'ü ve meme loblarının %41'inde subklinik mastitis belirlendi. Sürüde 10 ve daha az hayvan bulunan ve laktasyonun son döneminde olan (>180 gün) ineklerin meme loblarında subklinik mastitis gözlenme oranının daha yüksek olduğu saptandı (p
