Özet

Mastitis is a costly udder disease affecting dairy cattle. Decreased milk yield, treatment and labor costs, decreased milk quality and cow death etc. are some of the factors that make up costs. These losses are caused by subclinical mastitis without visible symptoms. Mastitis can be detected by performing one of the simple screening tests such as electrical conductivity (EC) measurement of milk. Our study evaluated the use of this method for the detection of subclinical and clinical mastitis.
