Abstract:
The present study was conducted using 406 records for investigation of effect of parity, period of calving, season of calving and milk yield on incidence of mastitis in Murrah buffaloes raised at Livestock Research Center, National Dairy Research Institute, Karnal utilizing chi-square analysis in SPSS version 23. The parity and period of calving were found to have highly significant effect (p<0.01) on mastitis incidence while season of calving and level of lactation yield did not show significant effect in our study. Studying these factors as predisposing factors for mastitis occurrence in dairy animals is crucial for effectively managing dairy farms at farmers’ as well as organized herds level.
