Abstract

The objective of this study was to describe the behavior of C-reactive protein (CRP), compared to the results of the California Mastitis Test (CMT) in dairy cows. Thirty - eight dairy cows were used to detect subclinical mastitis. Among these animals, 21 (75%) were positive in the CMT test and 10 (35.7%) were PCR positive. When analyzing the results by the McNemar test it was possible to conclude that the diagnostic tests have no statistical relation. It can be concluded that PCR can be used as an aid in the diagnostic interpretation for subclinical mastitis when associated with CMT.
