Abstract

This study aimed to identify different types of mastitis and their incidence in camels in Southeastern Algeria. Data were collected via a questionnaire from nine herds in the Beni Guecha area, Talbi Larbi district, Oued Souf Province, encompassing a total of 240 camels over three seasons (autumn, winter, and spring) from October 2023 to May 2024. Factors such as season, age, lactation stage, number of calving, use of anti-suckling devices, and udder lesions were considered. Gross lesions of affected udders were observed and recorded. The prevalence of clinical mastitis, as determined from the questionnaire, was 8.75%. Two forms of clinical mastitis were identified based on clinical signs and visible milk alterations, with chronic mastitis being the most common at 6.25%, followed by acute mastitis at 2.5%. The study found that 71.42% of mastitis cases involved the use of anti-suckling devices, while 28.53% did not use any device. Tick infestation and anti-suckling devices were significantly associated (p < 0.05) with lactating camel mastitis prevalence among the putative risk factors. Mastitis prevalence was 4.16% during the late stage of lactation, 5.45% during the middle stage, and highest at 20% during the initial stage. The various pathological lesions included chronic mastitis (71.42%) and acute mastitis (28.57%) among the affected udders.
