The purpose of this research was to study the correlation between udder length and lactation period with the profile of subclinical mastitis. Lactation period data was collected from interviews with farmers. Subclinical mastitis testing by IPB-1 Mastitis Test reagent and udder length measured using measuring tape (cm). Data was analyzed using Duncan test and logistic regression. The highest correlation of subclinical mastitis occurred to dairy cattle with average udder length of 7.5 cm and was in the third and forth lactation period. This result shows that udder length and lactation period of dairy cattle is a predisposing factor for subclinical mastitis. This finding is important to improve the milking management as well as a way to diagnose subclinical mastitis.展开更多
