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.

"Mooljibhai Chelabhai Vasava of district Bharuch using the root or bark of ‘Nakti’. Approximately 100ml of juice is extracted out. This is smeared on the affected area twice a day for four days. This treatment gives relief to the cattle." "Hirabhai Bhesana treats such a condition by using ‘mulberry’(Morus alba) leaves. Juice extracted out of 100-200 gm of mulberry leaves is applied on the affected region.This is continued for three days. By doing so the swelling goes down in a weeks time. (see HB 7(3), 1996: 17, HB 4(4), 1993: 17, HB 6(1), 1995: 10, HB 10(1),1999: 8 and HB 10(3)4,1999: 14 for other modes of treatment for mastitis. :Ed) 1043

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.

|
Management Practices
|
There are two options: intramammary antibiotics, the classic mastitis tube and systemic antibiotics given by the intramuscular or subcutaneous route. Intramammary antibiotics should be the first-line treatment for cows with mild uncomplicated mastitis in a single quarter. Systemic antibiotics should be used when more than one quarter is affected, when udder changes are marked or when the cow is obviously ill.
