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.

Farmer Lakhabhai Becharbhai Khatana treat mastitis by using corkwort (Leptadenia reticulata) vine and salt. The disease is cured by ointment made by pounding corkwort, (Leptadenia reticulata) vine to get 100 g extract and mixing 50 g salt to it. The ointment is smeared on udder twice a day for two days. ointment made by pounding corkwort, (Leptadenia reticulata) vine to get 100 g extract and mixing 50 g salt to it.

| 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. 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 |
First of all take small quantity of milk and pare it near heave ofmsance then wash it with hot water this will give relief to cattle pore milk at heaver of snake thrice a day’s According to farmer the reason /breafe pour milk at heaves of snake is to avoid use of milk when the cattle is suffering from mastitis. There is no side effect. This practice is traditional and he is using the practice from forefather. |
| 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 |
