摘要
The present study was undertaken to explore the association of occurrence of clinical mastitis with udder and teat morphometry in cattle. The relationship of nine udder and eight teat morphometric traits with the occurrence of clinical mastitis was analysed using a binomial logistic regression model. A significant association of the udder and teat morphometric traits with the occurrence of mastitis was observed both in Karan Fries and Sahiwal cattle. The rear udder height, rear udder width, udder width and fore udder attachment were found to be the important udder morphometric traits associated with the occurrence of mastitis. In both groups, mastitic animals had broader rear udder width, lower rear udder height and loose fore udder attachment with lengthy and thicker teats. The inclusion of udder and teat morphometric traits in the selection and breeding program of Karan Fries and Sahiwal cattle may help in selection of animals for mastitis resistance.
