JUNIPER PUBLISHERS - OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF DAIRY & VETERINARY SCIENCES Abstract The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of dairy cow mastitis in the Northwest of Argentina and to estimate its validity as an animal welfare (AW) target through its relation to the cow's cleanliness, milk somatic cell counts (SCC) and productive losses. The prevalence of mastitis and the degree of udder cleanliness were observed in milking cows from 16 dairy farms in the province of Salta (Argentina) during the rainfall and dry seasons. On the other hand, records of cows with 2 or more parities with clinical mastitis (n=34) and cows without mastitis (n=27) were acquired from farms with database; in addition, cow calving to calving interval (CCI), number of services per conception and cow end (earlier culling or death-euthanized) were recorded. The annual subclinical mastitis (CMT 1, 2, 3 as positive scores) and bulk tank SCC prevalence were high: 48.5±17.9% an...

This pathogen presents less importance for many researchers but there are many reasons to evaluate its participation as an important etiological pathogen of mastitis, such as the occurrence of this microorganism in the etiology of the bovine mastitis, effects on milk production and in somatic cell count (SCC).
