The purposes of this study were to determine the prevalence of heifer clinical mastitis (HCM) and heifer subclinical mastitis (HSCM), isolate HCM-causing bacteria, and assess the association of some risk factors in Huanggang, Central China. A total of 1,374 lactating heifers from three dairy farms were examined in the present study; 22.64?% of heifers were positive for mastitis, out of which, 3.86 and 18.78?% were with HCM and HSCM, respectively. Of the 67 HCM samples, 91.05?% were single growth, 7.46?% mixed growth, and 1.49?% no bacterial growth. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) accounted for 30.98?% of the isolates followed by Escherichia coli (29.58?%), Staphylococcus aureus (16.9?%), and Streptococcus uberis (11.27?%). Logistic regression analyses showed that heifer milk yield lower than 3?L had the highest prevalence of HCM compared to heifer milk yield of more than 3?L (P--.01), and prevalence of HCM was significantly high in heifers with the presence of teat lesions (P--.01). Moreover, the heifer milk yield lower than 3?L had the highest prevalence of HSCM compared to heifer milk yield of more than 3?L (P--.01). These two factors were significantly associated with the occurrence of heifer mastitis, which needs to be considered in the prevention and control strategies of the disease.
