Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the bacterial groups obtained from the milk of buffaloes with subclinical mastitis and the milk SCC rate. For this purpose, this study was carried out on 60 milk samples collected from Water buffalo with subclinical mastitis and healthy. Milk samples were divided into three groups as healthy (Group 1; n=20), and with subclinical mastitis caused by Gram negative (Group 2; n=20) and by Gram positive bacteria (Group 3; n=20). SCC value was statistically lower in Group 1 compared to Group 2 and Group 3 (P0.05). In conclusion, SCC value significantly increased in milk with sub-clinical mastitis compared to healthy milk. However, there was no difference in SCC value in milk samples with mastitis caused by gram negative and gram positive bacteria.
