Abstract: In this study, a total 198 forequarters and 196 hindquarters of 100 cows were screened for subclinical mastitis on the basis of milk pH test, modified California mastitis test, somatic cell count, electrical conductivity test and culture examination. The highest quarters wise prevalence of SCM was found in somatic cell count (28.42%). The prevalence of SCM in forequarters was 15.65 percent, 19.69 percent, 18.68 percent, 15 percent, 14.64 percent and in hind quarters was 33.67 percent, 37.24 percent, 34.69 percent, 33.67 percent and 32.65 percent in milk pH, somatic cell count, electrical conductivity, modified California mastitis test and culture examination, respectively. Right hind quarters were more affected than the left forequarters and hindquarters are more affected then forequarters in each mastitis detection tests.
