Abstract:
In total, 48 buffaloes were used in this investigation, all of whom had clinical mastitis as determined by the obvious abnormalities in milk discharges. The udder was cleaned, dried with a fresh towel, and the teats were sprayed with 70% ethanol before being examined. After that, the first few milk strips were discarded, and sterile vials containing 50 ml of milk samples from each quadrant were collected and transported immediately to the laboratory. Bacteriological examination and PCR confirms S. aureus (19) was discovered to be the main bacterium present in milk samples, followed by E. coli (13), Streptococcus spp., (09) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (7). These buffaloes which were positive for clinical mastitis were considered for therapeutic trials and selected buffaloes were randomly allocated into six groups. Group I treated with enrofloxacin 5mg/kg for 5 days, group II with cetfizoxime 10mg/kg once in 3 days, group III with marbofloxacin 8mg/kg once in 3 days and groups IV, V and VI receives same antibiotic with Vit E and selenium respectively and all the groups receives same supportive therapy. antibiotics such as marbofloxacin and Ceftizixime along with antioxidants i.e. Vit E and Se showed early improvement by clinical, haematobiochemical and in oxidative enzyme status compared to antibiotics alone.
