    BOADO, RISSAMI B. (2022) “Detection, Incidence and Risk Factors of Subclinical Mastitis as Determined by California Mastitis Test in Goat (Capra hircus )”. Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University, College of Agriculture, North La Union Campus, Bacnotan, La Union. Adviser: Libong, Chester S., DVM, Ph.D. Subclinical Mastitis in goats is mainly bacterial origin and the coagulase negative staphylococci (CNS) are the predominant etiologic culprits for subclinical mastitis in goats. Sub-clinical mastitis (SCM) is the most common in goats, is 15-40 times more prevalent than the clinical form. This study was conducted to detect the incidence and risk factors in sub-clinical mastitis as determined by California Mastitis kit in lactating goat . A total of 70 goats (native and crossbreeds) randomly selected for milk collection. Experimental animals were sourced out from different individual farmers or farms in the different municipality in the Province of La Union namely: Bauang (2 milk samples), San Fernando (4 milk samples), San Juan (7 milk samples), Bacnotan (12 milk samples), Balaoan (9 milk samples) Bangar (8 milk samples), Luna (13 milk samples ), Sudipen (15 milk samples).Overall, the prevalence of subclinical mastitis in the goats was assessed as 11.43%. Month of collection and mammary gland were significantly asscociated with the occurence of subclinical mastitis. California Mastitis Test is being used for diagnosis of the sub-clinical mastitis.
