Abstract: The concentration of N-acetyl-?-d-glucosaminidase (NAGase) in milk serves as an indicator of mammary tissue damage and the presence of bovine mastitis. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between NAGase levels in both milk and plasma and the pathogens responsible for mastitis across different seasons. The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA, revealing significant variations in NAGase concentrations in milk from coliform mastitis cases during summer compared to winter (p<0.05), as well as between summer and the thermoneutral season (p<0.05). No significant differences were noted in enzyme levels between winter and the thermoneutral season. In cases of staphylococcal mastitis, a significant difference in NAGase concentration in milk was evident between summer and the thermoneutral season. However, no significant differences were found in the enzyme concentrations among the mastitogens.
