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.
Disagreement between milk pathogens prevalence in segregated milking cows and bulk tank milk in Azorean pastures

Cattle
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.
