| Popis: | Mastitis remains a major challenge in the dairy sector, causing significant economic losses and impacting animal welfare globally. Early detection of sub-clinical (SCM) and clinical mastitis (CM) is crucial for effective management, particularly in varying environmental conditions. The current study aims at thermal imaging of the udder, teat, and short milking tube (SMT) of the milking machine across milking phases and seasons to assess SCM and CM via infra-red thermography (IRT) in a sub-tropical organised farm of Karnal, India. The udder health status of 98–117 lactating Holstein Friesian crossbred (HFCB) cows was screened monthly using IRT and further accessed using the California Mastitis Test (CMT) and somatic cell count (SCC). The thermal image analysis revealed a difference (p |
