Abstract
The study was conducted to determine the occurrence of fungal agents associated with clinical mastitis (CM) in Red Sokoto does (RSD) at the Sokoto livestock market and their antifungal susceptibility pattern. A total of 71 RSD was identified and examined for mastitis. Milk samples were collected for fungal isolation, identification and antifungal susceptibility testing. Thirty-one (43.66%) of the RSD were clinically mastitic. There was more bilateral mastitis 24(77.4%) than unilateral 6(19.4%) and trilateral 1(3.2%) mastitis. RSD ≥ 4 years were the major age group with CM, followed by ≥ 3 -
