- Abstract
Objective. Determine the prevalence of subclinical mastitis and the main risk factors associated with its presentation in the goat production systems of the municipality of Boavita. Materials and methods. A cross-sectional study was carried out between the months of March to July 2021 in 15 farms in the municipality. 256 lactating goats without the presence of clinical mastitis in any of the udder halves were included, a milk sample was taken prior to milking, and it was transported in refrigeration until arrival at the laboratory for evaluation through CMT. The risk factors determined were subjected to univariate and multivariate statistical analysis using the Statgraphics Centurion X statistical program. Results. The general prevalence of subclinical mastitis was 26.56% and the main associated risk factors were: more than three years, number of births greater than five, days in milk production, absence of disinfection processes prior to milking, poor body condition and presence of lesions on the nipples. Conclusions. For the first time in the country, the prevalence and the main risk factors associated with it were determined in dairy goat herds located in the municipality of Boavita, Boyacá.
