The data was collected for the twelve years period to find out the effect of parity and breed on incidence of mastitis. The parity number significantly influenced mastitis incidence in indigenous (Pty number. Incidence of mastitis was also influenced by breed and was maximum in crossbred cows in comparison to indigenous cows and Murrah buffaloes. It was concluded that increase in parity result in increased incidence of mastitis in cows and buffaloes and the differential incidence was due to breed effect in the same parity.
