Mastitis is the main disease affecting dairy cattle. Reducing it is one of the most important tasks Cuban cattle raising has today. Hence, it is essential to know the national background, and related research contribution. The literature shows that the frequency of mastitis caused by wellknown pathogens has declined; whereas mastitis caused by minor pathogens is more frequent. Research on the incidence of mastitis should be done in the eastern part of the country. The economic losses associated to the disease, antimicrobial sensitivity of the microorganisms involved, and the differences between mechanical and manual milking must be further researched as well. Somatic cell count must also be extended to the rest of the country. Milking routine and hygiene should be improved, increased production of medication to control mastitis, and implementation of research on natural products and alternative treatments must be encouraged (homeopathy and Eucalyptus). A program to control bovine mastitis would be useful, based on recent research done in Cuba, including several products made in the country. Updated international methods to fight the disease are based on state of the art methodologies. |
