DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT AND PREVENTION OF SUBCLINICAL MASTITIS IN COWS
Abstract
The article deals with domestic and foreign experience of
diagnosis, treatment and prevention of subclinical mastitis in cows and offered
suggestions.
Mastitis is the most common diseases of dairy cows and a significant
threat to industry economic losses. An important issue is the timely diagnosis
and decision making on the treatment and prevention of mastitis.
Material for the study was the data of the Training laboratory of the
Nemishayevsky Agrotechnical College in the village of Mykulychiv (Separate
Division of National Agriculture University of Ukraine «Nemishaeve Agricultural
College») about the disease of subclinical mastitis in cows during the spring-
autumn period of 2017. Researches were carried out on cows of Ukrainian
Black-and-White dairy breed.
Analysis of the theses about the key problems of diagnosis, treatment
and prevention of subclinical mastitis in cows provided an opportunity to
develop personal strategies for solving these problems.
Prospects for further research are the search antimicrobials drugs free
of antibiotics for treatment of subclinical mastitis in cows.
Keywords: subclinical mastitis in cows, somatic cells, treatment of
subclinical mastitis in cows, diagnosis of subclinical mastitis in cows,
prevention of subclinical mastitis in cows, the quality of milk
