Etiopathogenesis, Diagnostics, And Treatment Of Bovine Mastitis

Abstract

Bovine mastitis is caused by the pathogenic and opportunistic pathogenic microflora affecting the mammary gland.Hematologic studies of cows with mastitis have shown a reduced level of erythrocytes and haemoglobin and a proved increase in the number of leukocytes and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). It has been found that the concentration of total protein, calcium, phosphorus, carotene, glucose, cholesterol in the blood serum of diseased animals is lower, and the AAT and ALT activity is more intense than in healthy animals.Among the cows, sick with a clinical form of mastitis, the use of Mamicur with local application of ichthyol ointment proved to be the most efficient treatment method.
