Detection of subclinical mastitis in dromedary camels<br>(Camelus dromedaries) using somatic cell counts, california<br>mastitis test and udder pathogen

Abstract: : A total of 120 quarter milk samples from 30 clinically healthy dromedary camel from Al-Jouf, Saudi Arabia were cultured to detect subclinical udder infection. The milk samples were screened by somatic cell count (SCC) and California mastitis test (CMT). Gram-positive cocci were the dominant recovered udder pathogen. The mean value of SCC was 125,000 cells/ mm 3 . Infected quarter had generally higher mean values for SCC and CMT scores. Both SCC and CMT were of value in predicting the infection status of the … Show more

“…Moreover, the intensity of the inflammation can be estimated qualitatively by CMT and quantitatively by SCC. The two tests have been used as diagnostic tools to detect subclinical mastitis in camel (Eberlein, 2007;Saleh and Faye, 2011 Bacterial culture is a standard method for examination of mastitis in camels (Tuteja et al, 2013). It may be carried out on individual quarter samples or on composite samples including milk from all quarters.…”

“…This may be influenced by the subjectivity involved in interpreting the results of CMT. However, many researchers confirm that CMT can be used as a screening test to detect subclinical mastitis in camels (Saleh and Faye, 2011;Husein et al, 2013;Wanjohi et al, 2013).…”

“…Camel breeding plays an important role in the life of the desert inhabitants. Camel milk is an important source of protein and energy and some vitamins such as vitamin C, which is difficult for the Bedouin to get them from other sources (Saleh and Faye, 2011). Mastitis is the main problem facing milk production in dairy animals.…”
