Bovine mastitis is a condition characterized by a persistent and inflammatory reaction of the udder tissue due to physical trauma or infection by microorganisms. It is a potentially fatal mammary gland infection that is more common in dairy cattle worldwide.It is one of the most costly diseases for the dairy industry. Infected cattle suffer from severe dehydration and weight loss. Milk yield stops completely or is severely restricted, he said. The main treatment for this, he said, is that when milking the herd, strict attention should be given to healthy, uninfected cows first and then to infected cows.
