Important Notes
3–5 days of systemically administered
benzylpenicillin treatment was efficient
against Staphylococcus aureus mastitis
Intramammary drugs tend to be best for
single quarter mild mastitis,
while systemic treatment is better for more
severe cases or multiple quarter infection.

Causes of Hemolactia(Blood in Milk) of Cows
The occurrence of pink-or red-tinged milk is common after
calving and can be attributed to rupture of small mammary
blood vessels.
Udder swelling from edema or trauma is a potential
underlying cause.

How we can deal with
Hemolactia(Blood in Milk) of Cows
In most cases, it resolves without treatment within 14 days,
provided the gland is milked out regularly.
Bright red milk from a single quarter is a sign of a larger
blood vessel hemorrhage or teat trauma, while dark brown
milk results from rupture of a major vein or severe mastitis.

Treatment 'failure'
There are four reasons why treatment does not result in
return to normal:
1. Wrong antibiotic :mastitis-causing organisms not killed
by the chosen treatment
2. Not enough antibiotics for long enough at the site of
infection -although bacteria are killed, not all are and return
after the end of treatment.
3. Re-infection :treatment works but cow gets re-infected.
4. Wrong cow :persistent damage to the udder can prevent
the antibiotic from coming into contact with the bacteria in
sufficient concentration.
Dry Cow Therapy
Dry Cow Therapy
The dry phase is an ideal time to treat mastitis with
antibiotic preparations with or without a teat sealant.
This treatment known as Dry Cow Therapy protects the
livestock against any intra-mammary infections (IMI) that
they may develop or may have contracted during the period
of lactation and provides a shield against new infections
during the dry period.
Dry Cow Therapy
Administer only approved commercial antibiotic products,
formulated specifically for dry cow therapy and available in
single-dose containers for intra-mammary infusion
Teat sealants may be selected for use in some cows and
some herds
Ensure a reduction in nutrient intake of cows one to two
weeks before drying off
Dry Cow Therapy
Numerous commercial products are available for dry cow
treatment and include penicillin, cloxacillin, cephapirin,
ceftiofur, or novobiocin.
One tube per quarter is sufficient and should be
administered immediately after the last milking of lactation.
❖Dry cow therapy is one of the key measures of
controlling mastitis.
❖Selective Dry Cow Therapy is becoming more popular
as dairy equipment, Udder and stable hygiene improve.

Agalactia in sheep & goats
Main Line of Treatment
1-Antibiotic
Antibiotics can result in clinical improvement, but they
may not be effective in some chronic cases.
Fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines and macrolides are the
most commonly used agents.
Tylosinor oxytetracycline
Susceptibility to individual drugs may differ between
organisms.
Treatment may not eliminate the infection from carriers.

Vaccination
In endemic areas, inactivated vaccines are used with
mixed success, and published data on their effectiveness is
scarce.
Some have provided protection from clinical disease.

2-Antioxidant Therapy
❖: Vitamin E and Se therapy has given good results.
❖Daily feeding of Zn, Cu and Se for one month in camels
resulted in 40 % lower infections.

3-Immuno-stimulant Therapy
❖levamisole was also given S/C
4-Supportive Therapy
❖Oxytocin can be given for clearing milk if milk let down
❖is incomplete due to pain etc.
❖Analgesics can be given to relieve pain.
❖Anti-inflammatory drugs can be given to relieve
inflammation. B-complex therapy can be given as
supportive therapy.
❖Ascorbic acid feeding resulted in clearance of subclinical
❖infections.
5-Exercise
❖Giving moderate post calving exercise in terms of walking
to relieve edema and subsequently development of mastitis
may give fruitful results in terms of controlling the
infections
Odematous mastitis in camels
Causes
❖Edematous mastitis in camels is a managemental
❖problem, due to inadequate exercise after calving.
❖This inadequate exercise results in persistent post
parturient udder edema for longer periods and interferes
with the normal let down and milking process.

Causes
❖Odematous condition of udder occurs more severe in dairy
camels compared to camels with only suckling calves.
❖The visible signs of inflammation included acute and
edematous swelling of the udder and formation of pus in
the mammary exudates resulting in a visible alteration of
the milk.
❖Congestion of udder at parturationis a physiological
phenomenon but it may be sufficiently severe to cause the
edema of the belly, udder and teats.

Prevention of Masititis
Mastitis Prevention
◼Proper Milking Techniques
◼Procedures, training, monitoring
◼Keep cows clean!
◼Proper Bedding
•Sand is the best bedding
•Organic bedding (sawdust, etc.) must be dry
•Stall sized to fit cows
•Tail docking
◼Nutrition
◼Vitamins and minerals
◼Milk contagious cows last
◼Maintain milking equipment
Control of Contagious Mastitis
◼Dip teats in germicide after pre and post
milking
◼Treat quarters with dry cow antibiotics at
end of lactation
◼Milking order
◼Individual cloth/paper towels to wash/dry
teats
◼Clean hands, gloves
◼Cull persistently infected cows
◼Minimize teat end lesions
Control of Environmental Mastitis
◼More difficult to control than the contagious
pathogens
◼ID source and remove (bedding, ponds, mud)
◼Clip udders
◼Milk only clean dry teats
◼Clean parlor, stalls, bedding
◼Pre-dip teats with germicide before milking –No
water
◼Keep cows standing after milking -feeding
◼Sterile infusion techniques (alcohol swab)
