Summary. The article analyses the approaches to the diagnosis of mycoplasmal mastitis in cows. Despite decades of research in the field of etiology and pathogenesis of cattle mycoplasmosis, the diagnosis of this infection remains a topical issue in veterinary medicine. In time detection of infected cows, compliance with preventive measures in the milking parlors and in the newborncalves facilities, and the setting the order of milking are the main methods for preventing outbreaks of mycoplasmosis in farms. The necessity of proper sampling using and the order of the procedure for milking cows for the diagnosis of Mycoplasma bovis and other species of mycoplasmas are substantiated. Basing on the analysis, the following algorithm for determining the infectious status for Mycoplasma spp. and sampling for diagnosis, as well as the procedure for milking cows, was offered. The data obtained as a result of the study indicate the necessity to plan a set of preventive and therapeutic measures in the farms to prevent the infection of healthy animals with a contagious mycoplasmal infection.
