Abstract EN
A study was conducted to assess the incidence and economics of subclinical form of bovine mastitis in Central Region of India.
Daily milk records of 187 animals during three seasons were collected and subjected to analysis.
The economic loss due to reduction in yield, clinical expenses, and additional resources used were quantified and aggregated.
The losses due to mastitis in monetary terms were estimated to be INR1390 per lactation, among which around 49% was owing to loss of value from milk and 37% on account of veterinary expenses.
Higher losses were observed in crossbred cows due to their high production potential that was affected during mastitis period.
The cost of treating an animal was estimated to be INR509 which includes cost of medicine (31.10%) and services (5.47%).
Inadequate sanitation, hygiene, and veterinary services were the main predisposing factors for incidence and spread of mastitis as perceived by the respondents.
