RESEARCH PROGRESS ON DETECTION OF DAIRY COW MASTITIS PATHOGENS
Mastitis is one of the most important diseases that cause significant economic loss in dairy industry. Some mastitis pathogens have importance of public health. There are more than 150 species pathogens that can cause mastitis. Attempts to diagnose and detect these pathogens timely and accurately have been of significance in comprehensive prevention of dairy mastitis. Currently, major methods for detection of mastitis include isolation and identification of pathogens, immunological assays, gene chip and PCR. This summary provides the systemic illustration on detection methods and measures for integrated control of mastitis in dairy cows.
