To raise the occurrence of mastitis in dairy herds in the state of Pará, 434 crossbred dairy females, 25 rural properties located in 17 municipalities were submitted diagnosis of clinical mastitis and subclinical mastitis through clinical examination and examination of milk by mammary glands "California mastitis test" (CMT) and the milk of positive females undergoing isolation of microbial agents. Three (0.69%) cases of clinical mastitis and 62 (14.29%) of asymptomatic mastitis were diagnosed in 15 (51.72%) farms.
