Investigation of Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) Levels in Milk of Anatolian Buffaloes with Subclinical Mastitis
Abstract
Subclinical mastitis (SCM) is a serious disease of farm animals. There are many studies on SCM that aim to make the diagnosis practical, economical and reliable. It was the aim of the present study comparison of epidermal growth factors (EGF) ratios in animals with and without subclinical mastitis as an indictor of SCM in Anatolian water buffaloes. A study was carried out in a total of on 35 milk samples from 20 healthy and 15 mastitic mammary quarters of clinical healthy and nonpregnant buffaloes. Samples were examined using California mastitis test (CMT) as cow side test to detect of SCM before being transferred to the laboratory. Microbiological culture was also performed to determine bacterial contamination. Level of EGF and somatic cell count (SCC) was determined in all samples. As a result of the comparison of the EGF concentration between the SCM (+) and SCM (-) groups, the SCM (+) group was found to be higher than the SCM (-) group. EGF tests may be a useful tool in determining subclinical mastitis.
