Keywords:
Test (CMT), risk factors, subclinical mastitis, staphylococcus, hygiene quality
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of subclinical mastitis induced by Staphylococci and the hygienic quality of milk for particular individual risk variables in semi-intensive dairy cattle farms in the Mechroha region (Wilaya of Souk Ahras, Algeria). The study involved 100 lactating cows from three farms between March and September 2023. Milk samples were collected and tested for subclinical mastitis using the California Mastitis Test (CMT). Positive samples were then analyzed for the presence of Staphylococcus spp. In terms of mastitis prevalence, 75.4% of the 61 cows tested by CMT were positive. Bacteriological analysis of positive samples revealed that 63.04% were contaminated with Staphylococcus spp. The most prevalent species was Staphylococcus xylosus (31%), followed by Staphylococcus aureus (13.8%). Additionally, 13.8% of the samples contained either Staphylococcus aureus alone or in combination with Staphylococcus micrococcus. Combinations of Staphylococcus aureus with Staphylococcus intermedius or Staphylococcus xylosus, and samples containing only Staphylococcus micrococcus accounted for (10.3%) each. Less frequent combinations, including Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus intermedius, and Staphylococcus xylosus, or Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus sciuri, and Staphylococcus micrococcus, were identified in (3.4%) of samples. The results also indicated that cows on Farm 3 had a significantly higher probability of being CMT positive compared to those on Farm 2. Daily milk production exceeding 30 liters was associated with a higher probability of CMT positive results, as well as higher levels of total and fecal coliforms. In contrast, breed, lactation rank, stage of lactation, and stage of gestation showed no significant associations with CMT results. No samples showed the presence of Salmonella. This study reveals a high prevalence of subclinical Staphylococcus mastitis on farms in the Mechroha region. High milk production emerges as an important risk factor for subclinical mastitis and microbiological contamination of milk. These findings highlight the urgent need to improve hygiene and management practices to reduce the incidence of mastitis and enhance milk quality.References
