Abstract

The aim of the study was to study the microbial contamination of the mammary gland in cows with mastitis. The microbiological method was used to study milk samples from sick animals. The results of the study showed that the microbial landscape of the mammary gland in cows with mastitis was represented by the following types of microorganisms: E. coli, St. aureus, Proteus vulgaris, Streptococcus agalactiae, Staphylococcus spp., Salmonella spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus epidermidis. In most cases, the microbial contamination of the mammary gland is composed of mixed forms of various microorganisms. It was found that in 66.7% of animals with mastitis more than three types of microorganisms were found, and in 33.3% - two types of microbial cultures. Associative infection of the mammary gland in cows most often involves staphylococci (45.0% of cases) and streptococci (29.4% of cases)
