Abstract

This experiment was undertaken to determine the causative agent of bovine mastitis induced by yeast-like fungi and to know its therapeutic effect. California mastitis test, somatic cell counting and pH titration as well as cultural examination were performed continuously for the quarter milk and the feces obtained from the diseased cattle from November, 1979 to February, 1980. As a result, the causative agent was identified as Candida krusei and intramammary infusion of Nystatin was effective in the udder. Candida krusei was isolated from the feces.
