Bovine Mastitis is the most widespread disease in dairy cattle occurring throughout the world. The disease is causing huge economic losses particularly in developing countries like India in terms of reduced milk production, costs on treatment, culling of chronically infected cows and occasional deaths. Moreover, mastitis has a serious zoonotic potential associated with shedding of bacteria and their toxins in the milk. The treatment of choice for mastitis is the administration of antibiotics. However, antibiotics used for the treatment of this disease are causing antibiotic resistance and its residues passes in milk. Phytochemicals isolated from plants have exhibited potent activities against bacteria causing mastitis. These agents can act alone or in combination with antibiotics to enhance the antibacterial activity against a wide range of bacteria. The drugs from plants are less toxic; side effects are scanty and are also cost effective. They are effective in the treatment of infectious diseases while simultaneously mitigating many of the side effects that are often associated with synthetic antimicrobials. This comprehensive review was prepared to know different studies on usage of various alternative medicines in relation to bovine mastitis.

Abstract


Bovine Mastitis is the most widespread disease in dairy cattle occurring throughout the world. The disease is causing huge economic losses particularly in developing countries like India in terms of reduced milk production, costs on treatment, culling of chronically infected cows and occasional deaths. Moreover, mastitis has a serious zoonotic potential associated with shedding of bacteria and their toxins in the milk. The treatment of choice for mastitis is the administration of antibiotics. However, antibiotics used for the treatment of this disease are causing antibiotic resistance and its residues passes in milk. Phytochemicals isolated from plants have exhibited potent activities against bacteria causing mastitis. These agents can act alone or in combination with antibiotics to enhance the antibacterial activity against a wide range of bacteria. The drugs from plants are less toxic; side effects are scanty and are also cost effective. They are effective in the treatment of infectious diseases while simultaneously mitigating many of the side effects that are often associated with synthetic antimicrobials. This comprehensive review was prepared to know different studies on usage of various alternative medicines in relation to bovine mastitis.
