In this study, it was aimed to determine the prevalence of subclinical mastitis obtained from 38 studies conducted in T & uuml;rkiye between 1988 and 2019 by meta -analysis method and to calculate common prevalence. The estimated prevalence of subclinical mastitis in the studies were evaluated separately as cow -based (11182 cows in 37 studies) and udder quarter -based (48990 udder quarters in 33 studies). According to the results, the common prevalence of subclinical mastitis was calculated as 0.48 (95% CI: 0.41-0.56) in cow -based studies and 0.32 (95% CI: 0.26-0.37) in quarter based -based studies. As a result of this study, the results of individual studies on the prevalence of subclinical mastitis in dairy cows in T & uuml;rkiye were combined with the meta -analysis method and a more precise estimate of the prevalence was obtained.
