Propolis as an alternative remedy for the treatment of subclinical mastitis in dairy cows
A 5% propolis alginate emulsion was more effective than the 10% formulation in reducing bacterial counts and improving immunological and biochemical profiles. These findings support propolis as a promising natural alternative for treating subclinical mastitis, warranting further investigation into optimal formulations and long-term safety.
