A cross sectional study was conducted on a total of 471 cross and pure borana breed dairy cattle to determine prevalence of clinical and subclinical mastitis using CMT in selected districts of North Showa and Borana zones of pastoral area from April 2012 to February 2014 The overall mastitis prevalence was 237 50 3 The cow level prevalence was 9 5 clinical and 40 7 were subclinical cases Of 1884 quarters examined 10 0 5 quarters were blind teats and quarters 550 50 2 were showed mastitis High score CMT positive milk sample were investigated using standard microbiological techniques Identification of bacterial isolates revealed that 10 types of bacterial isolates were identified The isolated bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus and CNS 20 37 7 Diplococcus spp 2 3 8 Corynebacterium pseudotuberclosis 3 5 8 Corynebacterium bovis 1 1 7 Micrococcus spp 1 1 9 Pseudomonas spp 1 1 9 Bacillus spp 1 1 9 E coli 3 5 7 Proteus spp 1 1 9 Different risk factors like parity number farming hygiene animal origin and husbandry type were considered Hygienic conditions and husbandry type were the most important potential risk for mastitis
