This study presented a potentially useful alternative approach to ascertain the presence of subclinical and clinical mastitis in dairy cows using support vector machine (SVM) techniques.The proposed method detected mastitis in a cross-sectional representative sample of Holstein dairy cattle milked using an automatic milking system.The study used su
