Mastitis verwekkers bij rundvee in de omgeving van Arusha
Summary
This article is about a research in the environment of Arusha in Tanzania for the most
common bacterial cause of mastitis. In total there’s been taken 49 milksamples of cows from
26 different farms. After cooling of the samples there was a California Matitis Test performed
to determine mastitis. Culturing of bacteria was done after freezing the samples, because of
local conditions.
In this research the most mastitis pathogen prove to be contagious. Of all this bacteria
Staphylococcus spp. seems to be the most common bacterial cause of mastitis. However
there’s been only taken one sample of each cow and there were many barriers to carry out a
reliable research. Because of this the outcome of this research should be strongly questioned.
