Abstract
The association between BoLA class I antigens and mastitis was studied in Boheman Pied breen and its crosses. The mastitis status was follow ed during two years according to three diagnostic criteria: California Mastitis Test, bacteriological findings and the sensually altered mil k. The antigen w16 was found to be significantly associated with susce ptibility to mastitis in all diagnostic tests. On the other hand there were some indications that the wll animals were rather resistant to m astitis.
