Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the main pathogens causing mastitis in buffalo herds, correlate the presence of these pathogens in the milk quality indicators and assess the microorganism susceptibility profile found to the main antibiotics used in the control of mastitis, and also elucidate which risk factors present in the properties in which there is the presence of mastitis. The results demonstrated that mastitis is the major infectious disease, which brings great loss in individual productivity, and the possibilities for individual production rates of buffaloes are lower than expected can be correlated with the presence of the disease in herds of buffalo of Brazil.
