Gram staining is used to identify bacteria causing mastitis in goats, while Acid-Fast staining is used for detecting tuberculosis in cattle. Gram-positive bacteria appear purple due to their thick peptidoglycan layer, whereas acid-fast bacteria appear red due to their mycolic acid-rich cell walls. The reagents differ, with Gram staining using crystal violet and safranin, and Acid-Fast staining using carbol fuchsin and methylene blue.
