Mastitis is characterized by physical, chemical and bacteriological changes in the milk and pathological changes in the glandular tissue of the udder (Sharma, 2007).It is also defined as inflammation of mammary gland parenchyma, which is caused by bacteria and its toxins (Sharma et al., 2006).ormally, in milk from a healthy mammary gland, the SCC is lower than 1Ã10 5 cells/ml, while bacterial infection can cause it to increase to above 1Ã10 6 cells/ml (Bytyqi et al., 2010). FUNCTION OF SOMATIC CELLS Mastitis is caused by bacterial invasion into the udder.
