Mastitis is a potent economic disease affecting milk production in dairy cattle all over the world. Many infective agents have been implicated as cause of mastitis in bovines which include bacteria, fungi and algae. Of these, bacteria are found to be the main causal agent. This review enumerates the major bacteria involved in the infection. It also highlights some field applicable methods for sensible detection of intra mammary infection, since most of the sub-clinical cases of mastitis go unnoticed. The major step towards avoiding mastitis would be apt detection, medication (depending on organism involved) and above all, control of incidences. Thus, taking this in view, the control measures have also been discussed in this article. The article in all focuses on the causative agents and detection and control methods of intra-mammary infections in cattle
