Abstract

In contemporary times, mastitis occupies a prominent place for its economic and public health importance, causing direct losses on production costs and losses in milk quality. This study aimed to analyze aspects related to mycotic mastitis caused by the fungus of the genus Geotrichum sp. In the available literature, few reports incriminate this pathogen as the causative agent of mastitis, however, it is among the causative microorganisms. It is concluded that control and prevention measures, including environment, animal health and milking management, should be given special attention by producers, as they are measures that reduce cases of mastitis and consequently reduce costs with treatments and animal disposal.
