The experiment was carried out to study about the occurrence of subclinical mastitis during oxidative stress period in relation to uterine infection in Murrah buffaloes (n= 24). Uterine fluid was collected from day +7 to day +35 by help of a blue sheath and animals were divided into two groups based on uterine fluid scoring i.e. healthy and uterine infected groups. Then milk sample was collected from day +7 to day +35 in both the species and for detection of mastitis SCC (Somatic cell count), CMT (California mastitis test) and EC (Electrical conductivity) tests were conducted. Somatic cell count was higher in uterine infected group than the healthy group of buffaloes, however, difference was non-significant (P>0.05). When compared across the days, no significant difference (P>0.05) was observed in both healthy and uterine infected Murrah buffaloes. Kappa analysis revealed a kappa value of 0.424 suggesting moderate agreement with gold standard for California mastitis test and 0.713 for electrical conductivity test suggesting substantial agreement with the gold standard test.
