| Abstract: | In a study to investigate the current status of intramammary mycoplasmosis in caprine udders in Nigeria, a total of 57 and 24 milk samples were collected from udders of goats affected by mastitis and from apparently normal goats’ udders, respectively. Acute and chronic mastitis were more commonly observed in goats between 1 and 3 years old. Mycoplasma agalactiae and Mycoplasma capricolum occurred at a significantly higher rate (p<0.05) in udders affected by mastitis than in normal healthy udders. Other mycoplasma occurring in low prevalence include Mycoplasma bovis and Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides LC. It is concluded that cultural (microbiological) surveillance is necessary for effective treatment and control of the disease in Nigeria. |
