Abstract

Mastitis is an inflammation of the mammary gland which can cause a decrease in milk production and income for farmers. Subclinical mastitis is mastitis without clinical symptoms but can result in a decrease in the quality of milk production. One of the main pathogens that cause mastitis is Escherichia coli. The risk factors for the occurrence of mastitis, both clinical and subclinical mastitis, can cause a decrease in milk production caused by several factors, including genetic, feed, and environmental factors. This study aims to determine the presence of subclinical mastitis in dairy goat milk in Siliragung District, Banyuwangi Regency. Sample testing was carried out at the SIKIA Instrument Laboratory, Airlangga University. Isolation was carried out using EMBA media (Eosin Methylene Blue Agar) for further identification consisting of Gram staining and biochemical tests. One of the biochemical tests used is the IMViC (Indole Methyl red Voges-Proskauer Citrate Test). The results of isolation, observation of characteristics, and identification of bacteria in the research that was carried out showed that 8% (5/62) of the samples tested were positively identified as Escherichia coli. The results showed that the risk factors for causing subclinical mastitis included cleaning the cage bedding, washing hands before milking, milking out, teat dipping, and medication.

Abstract

Mastitis is a persistent and economically significant health problem in dairy goats in Banyuwangi, East Java, where smallholder production systems dominate. This review synthesises current evidence on the primary risk factors contributing to the high prevalence of subclinical mastitis in the region. Local studies consistently report Staphylococcus aureus as the leading etiological agent, frequently exhibiting antimicrobial resistance linked to unsupervised antibiotic use. Host-related factors such as advanced parity, udder lesions, and teat-end damage increase susceptibility to intramammary infection. Management practices—including inadequate milking hygiene, use of shared towels, absence of pre- and post-dipping, and irregular equipment sanitation—facilitate the transmission of contagious pathogens. Environmental conditions, particularly high humidity and poor housing sanitation, further elevate infection pressure. Socio-economic constraints and limited farmer knowledge about subclinical mastitis and antibiotic stewardship exacerbate disease persistence. The multifactorial nature of mastitis in Banyuwangi underscores the need for context-appropriate interventions combining improved hygiene practices, better housing management, routine screening, and responsible antimicrobial use. Strengthened farmer education and targeted surveillance are essential to reduce mastitis prevalence and enhance the sustainability of goat dairy production in the region.
