In conclusion, high prevalences of bacteria species/groups were detected in BTM from Azorean pastures. In consequence, a holistic approach on mastitis diagnosis, treatment and control should be considered in Azorean dairy farms.

The aim of the present study was to determine the apparent prevalence of a large wide of milk pathogens from BTM using a multiplex PCR method and compare it with the pooled samples from mastitic cows segregated at milking time from Azorean dairy herds.
