Blood and milk were sampled and quarter California Mastitis Test scores were taken during four 2-wk periods from 45 lactating cows. Vitamin A and beta-carotene in plasma and milk were analyzed within 48 h after collection. Total vitamin A equivalent (2 X amount of beta-carotene plus amount of vitamin A) also was calculated. Additionally, the total amount of vitamin A and beta-carotene excreted in milk was calculated from concentrations of vitamin A and beta-carotene in milk and milk weights recorded on sampling day. Independent effects of lactation number, period of collection, days in lactation, and California Mastitis Test Scores (the highest test score of four quarters used in the analysis) were examined by least-squares procedures using each blood and milk measure as the dependent variable. Results showed a highly significant independent effect of California Mastitis Test Scores for concentrations of plasma vitamin A, beta-carotene, and total vitamin A equivalent. Cows with lower plasma vitamin A, beta-carotene, and total vitamin A equivalent had higher test scores than cows with higher vitamin A and beta-carotene. Similar comparisons for amount of milk vitamin A, beta-carotene, and total vitamin A equivalent and total amount of each component excreted in milk showed no significant independent effects attributed to California Mastitis Test. Therefore, low concentrations of vitamin A and beta-carotene in plasma were associated with severity of mastitis in cows.
