Infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK) is a widespread, contagious ocular disease that affects cattle, especially dairy breeds. The disease is caused by Gram-negative bacteria mainly Moraxella bovis, and its treatment consists of parenteral or topic antibiotic therapy. The topic treatment...

This study presents the results of effect of a combination of bismuth subnitrate teat canal sealant (Boviseal®-Bimeda® Animal Health, Ireland) and the antibiotic Ampicillin & Cloxacillin (Bovaclox® DC-Norbrook Laboratories Ltd-UK) when used during the dry period on occurrence of mastitis 100 days...

Synergy or additive effect between Aloe vera (L.) Burm.f. and beta-lactam (β-lactam) antibiotics has been reported against Staphylococcus aureus, one of the most important etiological agents of cow mastitis. The goal of the present study was to predict the efficacy of intramammary formulations...

AIM: To compare, in cows treated with an internal teat sealant, the effect of short-acting and long-acting cloxacillin-based dry-cow therapy on somatic cell counts (SCC) after calving. METHODS: Cows from a spring-calving, pasture-based dairy farm in the Manawatu-Whanganui region of New Zealand were ...

Bovine mastitis affects the health of dairy cows and the profitability of herds worldwide. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) are the most frequently isolated pathogens in bovine intramammary infection. Based on the wide range of antimicrobial, mucoadhesive and immunostimulant properties...

Escherichia coli is a major pathogen involved in the etiology of environmentally derived bovine mastitis and is characterized by a variety of virulence factors (VF). Mammary infections with E. coli have shown a wide range of clinical signs, causing changes in milk (score 1, or mild), abnormal...

At livestock farms and large dairy farms in the Smolensk region, despite the implementation of preventive measures in the premises, their sterility cannot be achieved. Conditionally pathogenic microflora is constantly present in the environment of cows, which is the root cause of mastitis. With a...

Objectives: Our objective was to evaluate the effects of benzathine cloxacillin (BC) and ceftiofur hydrochloride (CH) treatment at dry-off on prevalence of intramammary infections at calving, incidence of clinical mastitis and SCC and milk yield up to 100 DIM, and removal from the herd and...

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of dietary vibroactivated clinoptilolite supplementation on the intramammary microbiological findings in dairy cows, causative agents of potential intramammary infection, and their sensitivity to antibiotics. Cows (n = 78) were randomly divided...

In the present study, the transfer of one of the most widely used antibiotics in dairy cows, cloxacillin, from raw milk to a wide range of dairy products such as yoghurt, kefir, milk curd, cream, rennet cheese, whey, butter, buttermilk, milk powder and whey powder was investigated. Raw milk was...
