Prevalence and treatment of bovine mastitis in a dairy herd

The aim of this study was to conduct an epidemiological survey in cases of mastitis in a dairy herd, from January 2013 to June 2014. Mechanical milking was done twice a day. Based on animals records, 43 cases of mastitis were recorded in 2013 compared to 31 by June 2014. In 2013, 37.21% of the cases...

description The aim of this study was to conduct an epidemiological survey in cases of mastitis in a dairy herd, from January 2013 to June 2014. Mechanical milking was done twice a day. Based on animals records, 43 cases of mastitis were recorded in 2013 compared to 31 by June 2014. In 2013, 37.21% of the cases occurred in the left posterior teat (LPT), 25.58% in the right anterior teat (RAT), 20.93% in the left anterior teat (LAT) and 16.28% in the right posterior teat (RPT). In 2014, 41.94% of the cases were in the LAT, 29.03% in the RAT, 16.13% in the LPT and 12.9% in the RDT. Regarding the common used drugs, in 2013, cloxacillin (24.53% of cases), sulfadiazine+trimethoprim (SDZ + TRIM) and gentamicin (20.75% of cases) were the most used. In 2014, cloxacillin and SDZ + TRIM were used in 28.57% of the cases, and gentamicin in 22.86%. We conclude that the mastitis predisposing condition that affects the herd is the negligence of the milker cleaning and disinfecting the teats.

Mechanical milking was done twice a day. Based on animals records, 43 cases of mastitis were recorded in 2013 compared to 31 by June 2014. In 2013, 37.21% of the cases occurred in the left posterior teat (LPT), 25.58% in the right anterior teat (RAT), 20.93% in the left anterior teat (LAT) and 16.28% in the right posterior teat (RPT).

El objetivo de este proyecto fue realizar una investigación epidemiológica de los casos de mastitis en un hato lechero, durante el período de enero de 2013 a junio de 2014. El ordeño fue mecánico, 2 veces al día. En el año 2013 se registraron 43 casos de mastitis, y 31 hasta junio de 2014. En el año 2013, el 37,21% de los casos fueron del Cuarto trasero izquierdo (CTI), 25,58%, del Cuarto delantero derecho (CDD), 20.93%, del Cuarto delantero izquierdo (CDI), y 16,28%, del Cuarto trasero derecho (CTD). En el 2014, el 41,94% de los casos fueron del CDI, el 29,03%, del CDD, el 16,13% del CTI, y el 12,9%, del CTD. En cuanto a las drogas de uso común, en el año 2013 eran cloxacilina (24,53% de los casos), sulfadiacina + trimetoprim (SDZ + TRIM) y gentamicina (20,75% de los casos). En el año 2014 fueron utilizadas cloxacilina y SDZ + TRIM (28,57% de los casos) y gentamicina (22,86% de los casos). Con los resultados se puede concluir que la condición predisponente de la mastitis que afecta a las vacas es la negligencia del ordeñador en la limpieza de cuartos, junto con una mala desinfección de estos.
