Mastitis caused by Mycoplasma bovis represent health and economic problem in intensive milk production. Etiology of this disease was first diagnosed in the sixties in the U.S. Infection with Mycoplasma bovis is present today in a high percentage on dairy farms. In acute form of mastitis which is caused by Mycoplasma bovis abrupt decrease in milk production and its complete cessation of secretion can occur. Clinical signs of disease are nonspecific, and clinical diagnosis is difficult to place in the first of 72 hours with high confidence. Resistance to antibiotic therapy and loss of one or more udder quarters could indicate on mycoplasmal mastitis. A good mastitis control program includes timely detection of carriers and removal from the herd.
