| dc.description.abstract | The study aimed to describe the management interventions in the control of mastitis in goats and determine the occurrence of mastitis with or without the application of management interventions. A total of six (6) dairy goats from the milkline of CLSU Small Ruminant Center (SRC), aged two (2) to four (4) years old and on their 1st to 4th parity were used in the study. Goats has been grouped randomly into two and has been tested for the presence of mastitis twice a week for one month using Mastitis twice a week for one month using Masti-Check test kit. Results show that the management interventions employed such as cleaning of udder, cleaning of udder with disinfectant, using post milking teat dip/spray and using and cleaning milking parlor resulted in zero incidence of mastitis out of 24 observations made within 8-day period. Parallel observations in goats without such interventions resulted in eight (8) suspicious and two (2) confirmed cases of mastitis. Statistically, the management interventions did not significantly reduce the occurrence of mastitis. | |
