    The purpose of the paper was to characterize mastitis, present different methods of treatment and prevention of emergence of mastits. Conventional methods include hygiene during milking and after it, the cleanliness in the barn, the use of vaccines and antibiotic therapy. Traditional methods have proven to be too time consuming and costly, therefore, one has started research on genes that may be responsible for mastitis. The MAS method uses genetic markers to select animals with higher resistance to mastitis. This technique is designed not only to improve the health of cows, but also to increase productivity of milk, which is important for the breeding aspects. Lactoferrin and BoLA gene were presented as candidate genes for genetic markers against mastitis, due to their bacteriostatic properties.
