| Sumario: | Mastitis is a major problem that reduces milk production and quality in the whole world. Because mastitis is an endemic disease, farmers in most countries have mastitis control programs to keep mastitis prevalence at a low level of less than 5%. However; a mastitis control program cannot be implemented unless the prevalence and the risk factors of mastitis are known. Therefore; a systematic review was conducted to provide broad information on mastitis prevalence and associated risk factors and propose appropriate control strategies with emphasis on developing countries. This book chapter recommends dairy farmers to monitor milking cow’s udder health, improve hygiene, regular use of teat dips, practice dry cow therapy, appropriate and effective treatment of affected animals. |
