This study involved 20 sub-clinically mastitic quarters of 10 Nili-Ravi buffaloes. Animals were divided into two groups, viz. A (10quarters from six buffaloes) and B (10 quarters from four buffaloes).Sampling was done before and after seven days treatment with bothfrom homeopathic (Mastcare injection) and allopathic (Spectrazolintramammary tube + Tribrissen injection) commercial preparations.Determinations were made for direct and indirect microscopic somaticcell counts (SCC) by standard techniques followed by analysis ofmilk composition (fat, protein, acidity, solids not-fat and total solids).Statistical analysis revealed no- significant differences in milkcomposition between group A and B, while the differences weresignificant before and after the treatments. It was inferred from thestudy that efficacy of both the preparations was similar. However,the homeopathic treatment had an edge being more economical one.
