Abstract
This article explores the etiological factors of mastitis, a widespread udder disease
in dairy cows, with a particular focus on the effectiveness of modern diagnostic
methods. A comparative analysis of Dimastin and Mastidin reagents was conducted to
assess their sensitivity in detecting subclinical mastitis. The study results emphasize
the importance of early detection and preventive measures in reducing economic losses
and maintaining dairy productivity.
Keywords:
mastitis, etiology, subclinical mastitis, diagnosis, cow, Dimastin,
Mastidin.
Introduction
The development of animal husbandry, especially dairy cattle farming, is one of
the strategic sectors of agriculture in the Republic of Uzbekistan. The growing demand

for dairy products and increasing competition in the domestic market necessitate the
breeding of healthy and highly productive dairy cows. However, chronic udder
diseases such as
mastitis
remain one of the most frequent and economically damaging
health issues in dairy farming.
Mastitis is an inflammatory condition of the udder, primarily caused by infectious
agents such as
streptococci, staphylococci, coliform bacteria
, and other opportunistic
pathogens. The disease manifests in both clinical and subclinical forms. The subclinical
form is particularly dangerous due to its asymptomatic nature, often leading to delayed
diagnosis and treatment.
Given the impact of mastitis on milk quality and yield, as well as the potential for
significant economic loss, the early diagnosis and effective treatment of mastitis —
especially in its subclinical stage — is considered one of the most critical challenges
in modern dairy veterinary practice.
Relevance of the Topic
Epidemiological studies show that
30–35%
of dairy cows in farms suffer from
subclinical mastitis, which reduces milk yield by
15–20%
. Infected animals produce
milk with decreased levels of fat, protein, lactose, and other valuable components.
Moreover, subclinical mastitis negatively affects overall animal health and
reproductive performance.
Milk from cows with subclinical mastitis often contains pathogenic
microorganisms, making it non-compliant with hygiene standards. Consequently, such
milk may be rejected by processing plants or purchased at reduced prices, leading to
economic losses.
Modern express diagnostic tools such as
Dimastin
and
Mastidin
are increasingly
used in veterinary practice. These reagents provide fast, affordable, and reliable results,

allowing early detection of mastitis. Their diagnostic sensitivity and practical usability
are the focus of this study.
Materials and Methods
The study was conducted on several dairy farms in the Republic of
Karakalpakstan. Milk samples were collected from all four quarters of the udder from
150 dairy cows suspected of having subclinical mastitis. The samples were evaluated
using the following methods:
1.
Clinical examination
– including udder hygiene, milking
technique, general health status, and palpation of the udder.
2.
Chemical testing
– using 5% Dimastin and 2% Mastidin reagents
to detect coagulation, viscosity changes, and color reactions in milk samples.
Results and Analysis
The diagnostic accuracy of each reagent is presented in the table below:

Analysis:
Compared to Dimastin, Mastidin demonstrated a
7% higher detection rate
of
subclinical mastitis, indicating greater diagnostic sensitivity. Both tests proved
practical, cost-effective, and rapid for field application. However, combining these
chemical tests with clinical assessments enhances overall diagnostic accuracy.

This study confirms that early detection of subclinical mastitis significantly
improves milk productivity and herd health while minimizing economic losses. Among
the two tested reagents,
Mastidin
showed higher diagnostic sensitivity and reliability
compared to Dimastin. Timely identification and treatment of subclinical mastitis are
essential components of effective herd management and veterinary care in modern
dairy farming.
