Vet. Sci. 2004 5 1 5-9 JOURNAL OF Veterinary Science Assessment of the California mastitis test usage in smallholder dairy herds and risk of violative antimicrobial residues Anakalo Shitandi and Gathoni Kihumbu1 Antibiotic Research Laboratory Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences Sweden 1 Microbiology Laboratory Faculty of Agriculture Egerton University Njoro Kenya This study evaluated how predictive the California Mastitis Test CMT is for sub-clinical mastitis under tropical smallholder dairy production conditions in Kenya. It intended to establish whether the CMT usage could be contributing to misdiagnosis and consequent mistreatment with animal drugs resulting in residue problems. Milk samples n 239 were aseptically collected from lactating cows in the Rift Valley of Kenya and tested using the CMT somatic cell counts SCC and bacterial culture. The samples were also screened for violative drug residues using the commercial delvo test and compared to the milks mastitic status for possible association. There was a numerical but non-significant p 0.05 difference evident in the frequencies observed using the three different mastitis indicators. The prevalent bacterial species isolated from mammary glands with subclinical mastitis were Staphylococcus aureus 45.6 coagulase-negative Staphylococci 13.0 Streptococci 11.7 and Escherichia coli 5.9 . There was an overall poor but significant p 0.05 correlation between the CMT and the violative antimicrobial residues in samples from all quarters infected and non-infected respectively. The results suggest that the CMT use amongst the smallholder dairy sector as a mastitic indicator may not be a risk factor in violative antimicrobial residues problems in milk.
