Prevalencia de la mastitis subclínica en el año 2023 en la Estación Agraria Paysandú (EAP).

Abstract

Mastitis is known as inflammation of the mammary gland, it is characterized by its causative agent, the presentation of clinical signs and the duration. This pathology is favored by risk factors such as poor hygiene in the milking parlors, over-milking of the mammary glands, failures in the disinfection protocol in the milking process, wounds or lacerations in the mammary glands. Other environmental factors that can favor the occurrence of mastitis are the rainy seasons, which generate ponds and swamps that become a source of infection and proliferation of pathogens responsible for causing the disease. This work is done in order to determine the prevalence of subclinical mastitis in the Paysandú agricultural station, for which information was taken from the data recorded during the year 2023 on the results of the CMT tests of the cows that were in the high production batch.
