The Plants Gymnemasylvestre, Holarrhenaantidysenterica, Vernoniaanthelmintica, Enicostemmalittorale, omordicacharantia,Swertiachirata,Azadirachtaindica,Caesalpiniabonducellawere collected from the Godhra and Amritsar, and several other places of Gujarat, India in February, 2013 which were used for the treatment of mastitis. The plant materials were oven-dried and then ground into coarse powder.The coarse powder of the Gymnemasylvestre(10 g),Holarrhenaantidysenterica(10 ),Vernoniaanthelmintica(10 g),Enicostemmalittorale(10 g),Momordicacharantia(10 g),Swertiachirata(10 g),Azadirachtaindica(10 g),Caesalpiniabonducella(10 g) were extracted with 100ml methanol for two days at room temperature. The extracts were then filtered off through Whatman filter paper number-1. For the solvent removal the plates containing solvent were kept in open overnight and the solvent was allowed to evaporate.On the next day the extract was dissolved in 1ml Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). this will cure the mastitis.

| Disease Symptoms / Clinical Signs |
Moderate to severe clinical cases can be very painful and unpleasant for the cow. The most obvious symptoms of clinical mastitis are abnormalities in: The udder such as swelling, heat, hardness, redness, or pain; and. The milk such as a watery appearance, flakes, clots, or pus. |
| Disease Description |
Bovine mastitis is the persistent, inflammatory reaction of the udder tissue due to physical trauma or microorganisms infections. Mastitis, a potentially fatal mammary gland infection, is the most common disease in dairy cattle in the United States and worldwide. It is also the most costly disease to the dairy industry.[1] Milk from cows suffering from mastitis has an increased somatic cell count. Mastitis occurs when white blood cells (leukocytes) are released into the mammary gland, usually in response to bacteria invading the teat canal or occasionally by chemical, mechanical, or thermal trauma on the udder. Milk-secreting tissue and various ducts throughout the mammary gland are damaged due to toxins released by the bacteria resulting in reduced milk yield and quality. |
| Disease Control |
Dip teat in germicide after pre and post milking, treat quarters with dry cow antibiotics at end of lactation, individual paper/ towel to clean cow, clean hands or wear gloves, cull persistently infected cows, minimize teat end lesions |
| Disease Prevention |
Proper milking techniques (procedure, training, monitering), keep cow clean [proper bedding (sand is best bedding, organic bedding)], nutrition (vitamins and minerals), maintain milking equipments |
| Precautions |
|
| Procedure of Use |
Motibhai Karshanbhai Rabari from the Mehsana district of Gujarat has a simple and effective solution for curing the disease sarlvu or mastitis in cattle. Blood comes out along with milk, upon milking the animal. This disease is locally called sarlvu. One of the reasons of the disease is injury to the udder.
If primary treatment is not provided, the animals ability to give milk may be impaired forever resulting in a tumour or mastitis. To treat this, Rabari inserts one pellet of camphor in a fruit of banana and feeds it to the infected animal. This treatment is repeated twice a day, in the morning and evening for three to four days.
<p>
Dr Jayvir Anjaria has noticed some farmers feeding alum for the same purpose. He says that arjun or White murdah (Terminalia arjuna)</b> tree can also be helpful. |
| Etiology Causative Agent |
Matitis caused by bacteria (70%) (Staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus agalactae, strpto. uberis, etc), yeast and molds (2%) (Mycoplasma bovis). Sometimes caused by trauma, weather extremes |
| Global Context |
Mastitis spreads worldwide in cattle. It is more common in adult than youngones. It is common in high milk producing animal than low producing as well as common in dairy cattle. |
| Lesson Implication |
A reduction in milk yield.
An increase in body temperature.
The lack of appetite.
Sunken eyes.
Signs of diarrhoea and dehydration.
A reduction in mobility, due to the pain of a swollen udder or simply due to feeling unwell. |
| Other Medications / Treatments |
