Abstract

A total of 96 dairy goats kidding once and primiparous of Toggernburg (T) and Norwegian white (NW) breeds were involved in this study. Study was carried in Morogoro municipality (N=37: T=16, NW=21), Mgeta in Mvomero district (N=44: T=14, NW=30) and Gairo town in Gairo distric (N=15: T=6, NW=9). The prevalence of subclinical mastitis (SCM) was determined using California Mastitis Test (CMT). A total of 192 composite milk samples (one sample per teat) were aseptically collected from each quarter of the apparently health dairy goat and screened by using California Mastitis Reagent which contain Alkyary sulphate and Bromcresol purple. The milk samples that scored 0, Trace (T), and +1 were considered as negative, while the samples with the scores +2 or +3 were taken as positive and used in the screening test. From Morogoro Municipality, the prevalence was 31.08% (23/74), right quarters (RQ) having 18.92% (14/74) and left quarters (LQ) with 12.16% (9/74). In Mgeta, out of 88 samples, 37.5% (33/88) were positive for mastitis, RQ 23.86% (21/88) while the LQ had 13.64% (12/88). Dairy goats from different farmers at Gairo had 33.33% (10/30), RQ had 20% (6/30) while for the LQ were 10% (3/30). Overall prevalence in all three studied areas was 34.38% (66/192) whereby for the right quarters were 21.35% (41/192) and left quarters 12.5% (24/192). Regarding prevalence within the breeds, T breed had 25% (18/72) within the breed and 9.38% (18/192) of the total milk samples while in NW had 40% (48/120) and 25% respectively. From these findings it is concluded that right quarters of the udder were mostly affected with subclinical mastitis than left quarters. NW breed is more susceptible to SCM than T. Farmers should be educated on this disease and education should include proper managerial practice especially avoiding risk factors such as poor hygiene of the udder and personnel, care of the injuries on the teats and proper milking. Regular screening of milking goats with CMT using expert and proper treatment of the Clinical Mastitis should be advocated. Bacteria causing mastitis should be isolated and tested for their Antimicrobial Resistance by using commonly used antimicrobials in the study areas.
