Cow mastitis is a disease in which infection and inflammation of the mammary gland of cows occurs. The disease occurs when an infection enters through the nipple into the udder of an animal. Infection usually occurs when hygiene rules are not followed during milking or in the interval between milking. More than 140 types of bacteria cause mastitis. Since cows are constantly in contact with the external environment, it is impossible to completely prevent the ingress of microbes that cause mastitis, it is necessary to pay attention to methods of combating mastitis and its prevention. Mastitis or breast disease is the main cause of milk production in cows. An increase in the number of cows with mastitis or subclinical mastitis negatively affects the quality of commercial milk and milk produced in general. In most cases, treatment with therapy takes a month. Prevention includes: compliance with the sequence of operations before and during milking; use of personal protective equipment by personnel (gloves, overalls); disinfection of the milking machine; use of a highly effective disinfectant to clean the udder before milking; protection of postpartum breastfeeding; preventive measures to reduce the main irritants; healthy and elastic skin; Use of vitamin E, selenium and mineral additives; carrying out hygienic measures (washing, disinfection) in the room; eliminating stress; providing adaptive nutrition in accordance with the stage of milking; thorough cleaning and disinfection of dairy products.
