Abstract
Objective: The study was designed to study the potency of an herbal spray AV/AMS/15 in controlling mastitis. Method: The 24 cows (HF × Sahiwal crossbred) found positive for specific mastitis in at least one quarter and not in late lactation were included in trial. The selected animals were divided randomly in two groups. The treatment group cows (n=12) were treated with Topical Herbal Spray, AV/AMS/15 spray (M/S Ayurvet Limited, Baddi, India) (every morning and evening milking for 5 days) and the other group of cows served as untreated control (n=12) group. Milk samples were collected and analyzed for various parameters viz. pathogens isolation and identification, California Mastitis Test, Electrical conductivity (EC), pH, Biochemical composition of the milk and Somatic cell count (SCC). Result: The results showed elimination of intramammary infections, decrease in somatic cells and electrical conductivity in AV/AMS/15 spray treated group along with improvement in milk solids components. Conclusion: AV/AMS/15 spray efficiently treated the mastitis in cows
