In-Vitro Antimicrobial Effects of Some Selected Plants against Bovine Mastitis Pathogens
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bovine mastitis continues to be the most costly disease to the dairy farmers. It dominates in Tamilnadu as one of the most prevalent diseases in dairy cattle among the dairy farms. Mastitis treatment with antibiotics leads to the development of antibiotic resistant strains and consumer health problem. The present study is an in vitro antibacterial activity of three medicinal plants against bovine udder isolated bacterial pathogens. Aqueous and methanol extracts of three plants were investigated by agar disc diffusion method. Methanol extracts of Asteracantha longifolia and Dactyloctenium indicum showed significant activity against Staphylococcus aureus (25mm) and E.coli (22mm) respectively.

Relationship between in vitro susceptibility of bovine subclinical mastitis isolates and bacteriological outcome of intramammary treatment with cefquinome
The objective of the present study was to determine whether there was an association between the in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility test results of subclinical mastitis pathogens and bacteriological outcomes of intramammary treatments using cefquinome. A total of 110 intramammary pathogens from 51 cows were assessed in this study. Most intramammary infections were due to coagulase-negative s...

Mastitis in dairy ruminants is considered to be the most expensive disease to farmers worldwide. Recently, the intramammary infusion of lactic acid bacteria has emerged as a potential new alternative to antibiotics for preventing and treating bovine mastitis. In this study we have investigated in vitro the probiotic potential of Lactococcus lactis LMG 7930, a food-grade and nisin-producing stra...
متن کاملAntimicrobial activity of essential oils against pathogens isolated from Bovine Mastitis
Treatments for bovine mastitis based on antibiotic therapy are not always effective which may lead to faults in recovery of diseased animals, selection of resistant bacteria and the presence of antimicrobial residues in milk. In this context the use of essential oils configures as an alternative to control mastitis pathogens in dairy cows because they have antibacterial action against gram-posi...
