Complex treatment of clinical mastitis in dairy cows in a livestock farm

The incidence of mastitis is one of the most important problems of modern dairy farming, which causes significant economic damage from a decrease in milk productivity, from the cost of treatment and prevention, from a reduction in the life of productive animals. The article presents the results of diagnosis and treatment of the clinical form of mastitis in a comparative aspect. In the course of scientific and production experience, 4 groups of animals with 10 heads each were formed in the conditions of the farm. The diagnosis of serous-catarrhal mastitis was based on a clinical mammological examination, a cenotest test, and a determination of the number of somatic cells. After the treatment, the above-described clinical signs were not observed in animals of all three experimental groups and their smoothing was observed after twice administration of drugs and application of ointment. Among the experimental groups, this process was most pronounced in the third experimental group, where mamikur was used. The most pronounced therapeutic effect was obtained in the O-II group, where mamikur was used, where, after treatment, a negative cenotest test was observed in 90% of animals (9 heads), and the number of somatic cells was 345.2±57.5 thousand/ cm3.
