Mastitis is the major primeval disease of dairy cattle and it leads to inflammation of mammary gland and udder tissue. It is also
considered as one of the costliest diseases of dairy animals. Pathogen invades the mammary glands usually caused by bacterial
infection of udder tissues. It causes significant harm to the cattleman thereby decreasing the milk production and its quality, which
is usually determined by the measurement of somatic cell counts per milliliter of milk. According to the Punjab Dairy Development
Board (PDDB), Punjab, India, the average daily milk production in the state is 26.5 million liters a day. Sub clinical mastitis level
usually varies from 10% to 50% in cows and 5% to 20% in buffaloes in Punjab region. To minimize the huge economic loss and to
provide the cost effective solution for early/preliminary detection of mastitis, the presented work shows an exhaustive survey on cows
and buffaloes of Bathlana, Badmajra and Mansa region of Punjab for early detection of mastitis along with a novel design of low cost
mastitis detector based on electrical resistivity measurement technique. The presented results show that Buffalo immune system is
stronger as compared to cow, due to anatomical structure of mammary glands.
