Abstract

The aim of the research was to determine the feasibility of using immunostimulants in the prevention and treatment of cows՚ mastitis. The work was carried out using biopreparations developed by the scientists of the Chuvash State Agrarian University: Prevention-N-E and Prevention-N-B-S, as well as a homeopathic medicine for the treatment of mastitis Mastinol. Prevention-N-B-S showed the greatest preventive effect, however, this difference with Prevention-N-E was insignificant (P>0,05). It is noteworthy that only in the 2nd experimental group, where Prevention-N-B-S was used, cows with clinical mastitis were not detected both before and after calving. Treatment of cows whose mastitis prevention using immunostimulants proved ineffective was carried out in the 1st and 3rd experimental groups. Thus, the therapy of cows with mastitis showed that the recovery of the cow of the 1st experimental group, which were treated with Prevention-Nth, recovered after 4±0,08 days, which is 7±0,52 days less than in the 3rd experimental group, where Mastinol was used. Atrophy of the udder lobe was observed in one cow in the 3rd experimental group. It was found that the treatment of cows՚ mastitis with Prevention-N-E biopreparation was more effective than the homeopathic preparation Mastinol. The results of this study have shown that the use of immunostimulants in the prevention and treatment of cows՚ mastitis is advisable. Thus, in the prevention of cow mastitis, Prevention-N-B-S demonstrated the most pronounced corresponding effect from among the tested biopreparations, and in the treatment of mastitis – Prevention-N-E.
