Abstract
Caprine farming is crucial for the Brazilian economy, being the largest producer of goat milk in the Americas. The increased consumption of goat milk in Brazil faces challenges due to health issues, particularly mastitis, an inflammation that impairs the quality and quantity of milk. Predominant bacteria, such as Staphylococcus, make treatment difficult due to resistance to common antibiotics like amoxicillin and penicillin. Constantly exploring alternatives is essential to enhance disease control. This study utilized a narrative literature review, extensively analyzing goat mastitis literature on platforms such as Google Scholar, Scielo, ScienceDirect, and SpringerLink, guided by descriptors like "Caprine Mastitis," "Mastitis Brazil," "Genes," and "Antibiotic Resistance." Prevention of caprine mastitis stands out through the simultaneous implementation of effective sanitary measures, focusing on reducing infections during milking and maintaining hygienic practices. These actions are crucial to promote herd health, improve dairy production quality, and reinforce the ongoing importance of sanitary surveillance. Understanding the prevalence and characteristics of national pathogens is essential for proper treatment.
