This study was conducted to identify the relationships between some linear type characteristics and mastitis in Switzerland's Sheep cows located in a milk cows plant in Malta. The material of the study was composed of a total of 54 Switzerland Sheep Cows, ages between 2 and 8. In this study, the linear type characteristics assessed the total score with characteristics such as front breast placement, front breast head length, front breast connection, breast depth, rear breast connection, spansor ligament and rear legs (from side appearance). As a result, the Mastitis rate was higher in Switzerland Sheep cows with a greater breast depth, but the Mastitis rate was higher in terms of the other breast characteristics and the appearance of the back legs on the side and the overall score of the CMT positive and negative groups! There was no significant difference in terms. In this study, in protecting from mastitis for dairy livestock, the differences between the groups in linear type characteristics, in terms of the rates of mastitis occurrence were not significant. The differences between the groups in terms of breast depth have been statistically significant (p<0.05). It is believed that this situation would be useful to be taken into consideration, especially when choosing cows for cultivation and harvesting.
