Abstract:
Mastitis is the biggest enemy of the dairy industry. Which occur mainly due to milking practises during and after milking. Hygiene and sanitation are major keys to preventing this problem. The present study was conducted to prevent mastitis in dairy animals using teat dip cups containing antiseptic solutions. In the present investigation, post milking dipping of teats in antiseptic solution was performed on 60 cows irrespective of age and breed during 2 years. Out of these, 11 out of 30 animals in the non-using teat dip cup group develop mastitis and 2 out of 30 in the teat dip cup using group. Thus, teat dips are IMI prevention approach that lowers the risk of mastitis, lowers production costs, and lessens the negative effects of medication on animals and milk consumers.
