Evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment of cows with subclinical mastitis

Abstract

When examining the contents of the udder of lactating cows with Masttest, a subclinical form of mastitis was in 28.98% of the animals. Most often, the defeat of one lobe of the udder was noted (35.1%). The occurrence of subclinical mastitis in two udder lobes was recorded in 34.31% of cows, in three lobes - in 18.63%. The occurrence of a subclinical mastitis form  in all lobes of the mammary gland was only in 1.96% of animals. The course of treatment of cows with subclinical mastitis up to 5 days with mastomycin, vakkamast and mastivex is more effective compared to their use for 2-3 days. It is most expedient to use mastomycin, vakkamast, which are not inferior in therapeutic efficacy to the foreign preparation mastivex (Spain), but 1.6–1.7 times cheaper and exclude dependence on the market of foreign medicines.
