Abstract
Relevance. Mastitis in farm animals is widespread and ubiquitous and causes great economic damage to dairy cattle. The drugs used do not always give the desired results. The search of new highly effective methods and means of therapy for all forms of mastitis in cows is a top priority of scientific and practical veterinary workers.
Methods. The therapeutic effect of the cream was carried out in the SPK «Red Partizan» of the Khunzakh region, on 90 dairy cows of the red steppe breed, on different stages of lactation, with inflammation of the skin of the nipples of the udder. Cows after milking were lubricated with inflamed nipples 2 times a day. In the experimental group 50 heads, inflamed nipples were smeared with a developed cream. In the second (control) group — 40 heads, the means used in this farm was used.
Results. Studies have established that 98.0% recovered in the experimental group. The course of treatment was 3–4 days. It should be noted that in animals after 2–3 procedures of applying of the cream on the inflamed nipples, the skin became softer, dryness disappeared. On cracks and abrasions tissue, regeneration began and complete healing occurred on the 3–6th day. The animals tolerated the milking process more calmly. In the control group, 75.0% of cows were cured. Duration of treatment — 5–8 days.
