Pangalengan in Southern Bandung Regency, was known as a center for dairy farming. Mastitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus is a disease that often arises and difficult in treatment, because of lack of knowledge that causes arise resistance to antibiotics. Therefore, observation of milk samples, udder swabs, milking utensils, milking buckets and stable floors, from the Warnasari, Babakan Kiara and Tarumajaya small holder ranches, were tested using antibiotic discs. Results observations showed that Ampicillin, Oxytetracycline and Sulfametoxazole - Trimethoprim, ciprofloxacine and Chloramphenicol are five groups of antibiotics that are often used for the treatment of mastitis, and are now experiencing resistance. The highest percentage of resistance was to Ampicilin which reached 100% and the lowest was Sulfametoxazole - Trimethoprim, Ciprofloxacine and Chloramphenicol which reached 3.12%. Generally, the percentage of resistance of these five antibiotic group, shows the highest number in Babakan Kiara and the lowest in the Tarumajaya region. The factors that support increased antibiotic resistance in the treatment of mastitis are the use of antibiotics that is continuous and uncontrolled, poor farm management and the cage very close to farmer houses.
